I agree. One of the reasons I have asked a Spanish speaking person to take calls on my behalf is that when I first placed it for sale, one of the neighbours offered to show people around.

The problem was that he wouldn't show Spanish people and they are the only ones buying at the moment.

Thanks for the comments!

I am advertising the property on it's own web site and on here. It was the advertising that caused me to register :)

That said, I do think I probably need to go through an established local agency. The problem is, they've all gone now I think.

If anyone knows of one local to San Pedro Del Pinatar / Lo Pagan, please let me know.

Hello all.

I've had an apartment in San Pedro Del Pinatar since 2006 which my wife and I originally bought off-plan. We get such little use from it that we decided to try and sell it.

The estate agents in the region all seem to have disappeared, though there are one or two "web based" operations that offer to put up a sign in addition to listing the property on their web sites.

At the moment, I am trying to do it all myself, with some help from a local translator who's letting me put her phone number on the "se vende" board, so that I can take enquiries from Spanish people as well as English.

I realise that it's not a great time to be selling and have adjusted my price accordingly, but wonder if this is enough.

Should I be with an agent? Are there any good ones around San Pedro Del Pinatar?

Naturally, I've listed it on eyeonspain, but I don't think that many Brits are buying in Spain at present.

What would you do?
