The Interagency Network the Marbella-based property company which launched three years ago as a Multiple Listing Service for real estate agents on the Costa del Sol is now expanding into the consumer market, with a new UK marketing arm, Lighthouse Spain www.lighthouse-spain.com, which aims to bridge the physical gap between British customers and Spanish properties, and to dispel their fears about buying in an unfamiliar market. A UK-based team will guide buyers through the confusion on the coast and lead them to agents in Spain who are established, regulated and ethical. The Networks 100 member agents, who share a massive database of 8,000 properties so that any member is entitled to sell any property, will benefit from the additional customers who approach the Interagency Network through Lighthouse Spain www.lighthouse-spain.com.
On the Lighthouse Spain website, www.lighthouse-spain.com, customers can browse all properties online and select a hot list of five. They can then contact the UK call centre, which will put them in touch with the relevant Interagency Network agent.
Besides property listings, LightHouse Spain www.lighthouse-spain.com provides location guides for popular areas on the coast and inland, detailed information on how to buy a house, and what you need to know about living in Spain. After an inspection trip, Lighthouse Spain www.lighthouse-spain.com will contact the customer once back in the UK to check that their tour and the agent met their needs.
