About Us

We (Americans) have spent at least three months each year (for the last 20) living abroad and have visited almost 40 countries. We chose Spain for our permanent retirement last year as it is the perfect compromise of lifestyle, cost, food and weather – we haven't regretted a day of it. VIVA found us the perfect home in Estepona surrounded by Spaniards and expats from 18 different countries. Your (blog) article hit the nail on the head: Spain is a top choice.

We were over in Spain (unfortunately with another company) and called VIVA out of the blue to see if you could help. We were met at the hotel and I cannot begin to tell you what a lovely day we had with your representative. Your team are a credit to you.

We are writing to you to let you know how impressed we were with the service we received from VIVA in connection with the recent purchase of two plots of land in Coín. All the staff were fantastic; they went out of their way to make meetings with the lawyer, an architect and opening a bank account with us very easy. As we were short of time our representative even came in on their day off... we spent a whole day just driving around getting to know the area. We certainly got exactly what we were looking for, and would not hesitate to recommend VIVA to anyone.

We arranged a trip out to the Costa del Sol where one of VIVA's representatives took us out to see about six places. She understood our needs brilliantly and the final apartment we visited suited us down to the ground. The process of buying property in Spain can be surprisingly straightforward, particularly with the help of an English-speaking company like VIVA. Having VIVA's support has been crucial. We're very happy.

We have just completed a purchase of a finca through your offices in Coín. I would just like to voice our appreciation of the professional and courteous way in which your representative performed. He took time and effort to find us the right property and kept us up to date on events as they unfolded – a real asset when we were in England!

We would like to thank you for the way you looked after us during last week's visit. You made what might have been a stressful few days into a pleasant experience we will remember forever. We were very impressed with the way our requirements were perfectly matched; no time was lost with viewing unsuitable properties.

We wanted to buy a second home as an investment and Spain seemed like the best place to look, After an exhaustive search, we chose to settle in Benalmádena. We were thrilled when we heard about this development.

I have recently purchased a property in Benalmádena and would like to take this opportunity to thank VIVA for all the help you gave in ensuring the process went as smoothly as possible. I've been more than impressed with the professional and friendly service I received from everyone at VIVA. We were guided through the process and the team was always there to help with any queries we had, no matter how minor. We will be planning another purchase later on this year, and we will definitely be contacting VIVA again.

By dealing with an agent like VIVA, we always had someone that was on hand when we needed them. If I was to give any advice to prospective buyers, it would be to make sure you have an estate agent that you can use if you need things to be done remotely.

VIVA showed us a selection, and we eventually fell in love with an apartment in Elviria (Marbella). I would probably have never bought my dream home had it not been for the professional attitude of VIVA, and the way in which they gave me the information I needed, when I needed it in a clear and rational manner. I have bought more than six properties throughout my life in the UK and my Spanish purchase was by far the easiest and least stressful.
