​

We met Yvonne through a friend’s recommendation when we were looking for a vacation home to buy in the Competa area.

Being from the United States, the home buying process is a bit different than we were used to, so it took a lot of education.  Yvonne was availability at all hours of the day, she never seemed to stop working for us.  Her knowledge and experience about the area and buying process is very extensive.  She doesn’t push you toward anything you are not comfortable with but listens and directs you to exactly what you are looking for.

We ultimately found a beautiful house in the Competa region and it’s mainly thanks to Yvonne.  She was the perfect realtor for us in finding our dream house, Casa Sueno.  She will remain a friend, and we will wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house in the region.  Thanks Yvonne!

We met Yvonne when purchasing our beautiful cortijo in the hills between Cómpeta and Torrox. Yvonne was the selling agent, but she also supported us with advice and assistance regarding all aspects of buying our home. Two months ago, we received the keys to our dream house, and we can still turn to Yvonne with all our questions. She recommended several local craftsmen who have helped us make our cortijo even more beautiful. Each one of them is outstanding, just like Yvonne herself. Yvonne is available for her clients 24/7, always responds very quickly, and nothing is too much trouble for her. Additionally, she has an extensive network, a wealth of experience, and extensive knowledge of the area and all the properties for sale there. And last but (definitely) not least: she is simply a very warm and wonderful person! We are very happy that Yvonne came into our lives, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone! Thank you very much, Yvonne, for all your help!

Our house hunt with Yvonne was a party! Yvonne asks the right questions during the introduction to get a good idea of your wishes and requirements regarding a house. She then makes an excellent assessment of whether a house you have seen on the internet, for example, meets your wishes.
Yvonne points out the positive aspects of a house, but is also clear about any drawbacks or points of attention. Very nice, so you know what to take into account. A nice bonus is that you can communicate in your own language. Especially during the negotiations and official matters at the notary, this was very pleasant. Because she herself has lived in Andalusia for many years and has many years of experience in this field, your search for a Spanish home is in very good hands with Yvonne!

Yvonne is a star. Nothing is too much for her. She helped us a lot. She is really there for you day & night and listens carefully to what your wishes are. Yvonne is a real estate agent who has good people skills and therefore knows how to match the right house to the right person.

We really felt personally helped by her and you notice that she really enjoys her work. She knows a lot of people and regulations (which helps a lot if you are new to Spain)

Buying a house in Spain is definitely not a piece of cake. Not only do the laws and regulations in Spain differ from the Dutch principle, the search is also more complicated. There is a lot on offer and structurally not every house is in good condition or even legally built. But how do you find the house of your dreams? Yvonne gave us excellent advice and guidance in this respect. She really takes care of everything from A to Z also when we asked even more questions. Her knowledge, keeping appointments, accessibility and professionalism led us without problems and with a lot of confidence to our gem under the Spanish sun.

It started in 2021 with a short vacation. We fell in love with Competa, the nature, the food, culture and hospitality of the Andalusians. At the end of 2022, we bought our dream home just outside Competa. With views of the hills and sea. Yvonne was our professional and knowledgeable guide. Her experiences and tips were decisive. A search that started with a good inventory of our wishes. We are very happy and grateful.

Yvonne gave us great support during our search for a house in Andalusia, but also afterwards. As a newcomer to Spain, it's very nice that you can ask Yvonne all your questions, even after the sales process. So Yvonne is much more than "just" an estate agent.
Yvonne is involved, passionate and, by asking critical questions, helped us get our wishes clear. Partly because of this, we eventually found our dream home. Thanks to her vast experience with the housing market here and her empathy, she knew exactly which houses met our wishes. Our dream house is therefore a house that was not on our list at all but was suggested by Yvonne. We wish everyone the same positive experience we had during our purchase process with Yvonne.

Yvonne werd ons aanbevolen door een ander echtpaar die via haar gekocht heeft hier. Yvonne heeft al onze verwachtingen overtroffen en de bezichtigingen met haar waren erg leuk. Ook na de aankoop konden we met al onze wensen en problemen bij haar terecht en we werden altijd snel geholpen.
Er was nooit iets waar Yvonne ons niet mee kon helpen, of we nu een quad wilden kopen, een verzekering nodig hadden of een speciale vakman, ze wist altijd wel iets te regelen.

On the recommendation of friends, we came into contact with Yvonne and together with her we started looking for a house to turn into a B&B. That was quite a challenge, because we didn't want a big renovation project. In the beginning, we had to test what we liked and what we absolutely did not want. But partly due to her professionalism and patience (with us), we ended up with a house in Archez after visiting several houses. Every time it was a treat to go out with her. Nothing was too much for her, it felt familiar and she gave us the space to discover for ourselves what the possibilities were, giving the necessary tips. Not only did she guide us through the purchase of Villa Archez but she also helped us obtain a NIE number, a bank account and she accompanied us to the notary, among other things. So are you looking for a house? Contact Yvonne and she will take you through the search for your ideal home. Highly recommended. Yvonne, thanks again for being there for us!!!

For years we have been coming to Competa and staying in a house owned by friends. In May 2022 we spoke to Yvonne for the first time and then looked at a number of houses. She listened carefully during the conversation and knew exactly what our wishes were. This was evident in the summer of 2022 when we went back with Yvonne to look at houses. When we saw the house we have now bought we fell silent. The view is phenomenal and exceeded our expectations. The house is now being modernised and adapted to our wishes. The lawyer proposed by Yvonne was extremely pleasant and a big plus was that the secretary was Dutch-speaking. Also when looking for a suitable contractor to carry out the renovation, Yvonne helped us excellently. If there is anything now we need, we still contact Yvonne. Nothing is too much for her!

We got to know Yvonne about 9 years ago when we bought our first house in Competa/Spain.

She showed us a lot of possibilities for two days and with her cheerful nature made us even more enthusiastic
which eventually led to buying a house. We bought a holiday home!
She always stood by us and had a suitable answer to everything when we were at a loss.
After 6 years, we wanted a house we could live in permanently and Yvonne found that for us as well.
The sale of our first house was also in excellent hands with her. Now we have a dream house where we will soon be living.
We would recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for a house in Andalucia. She has a wealth of experience and is knowledgeable, articulate and sweet too !
We would never have wanted any other estate agent !
