MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

Management Guarantee: “If we don't deliver, then you don't pay.”

Whilst the above savings are hypothetical and cannot be guaranteed, nor implied, it is arguable that much of the above will be realised, and although we admit that how much is open to debate, interpretation and market conditions, it may be said that over the years, IRS has consistently been able to negotiate discounts from property prices that were achieved through the use of professional, objective, independent and thoroughly trained negotiators.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Hardly anyone in Spain actually represents the buyer and only the buyer. Many Estate Agents and developers charge on both sides of the property deal - we believe that is WRONG and we will only ever receive monies from the buyer thereby avoiding any conflict of interest. We fight your corner and so our interests coincide.

Forget the aforementioned financial justification

Even though we have tried to keep our cost savings conservative, it is to be expected that some people will look upon them with cynicism, in which case it is not unreasonable to argue that for less than 3% of the cost of the property, you will be relieved of the worry and traumas of moving overseas. Piece of mind for under 3% we would argue is a BARGAIN.

Stacks Relocation Spain - Eliminating your worries

For example, some of the worries IRS will eliminate are :

Am I paying too much or getting a bargain?
Is the area safe?
How much development is planned for the area?
Have I been ripped off by the lawyer, the banker, the removals guys, the accountant, the surveyor, etc, etc...?
How do I know that's what he said?
If only I'd had someone on my side speaking Spanish
My child ended up in the wrong year at the local school
The deeds for my property are not in order
If only I'd known that the property developer was a well known local shark!
Where on earth do I start?

The list is endless.

Moving overseas or simply buying property overseas is a RISKY and STRESSFUL experience for people who do speak the language, and may have some local knowledge.

BUT…

Without these basic skills, such an adventure will often end in heartache, stress and financial penalties, all of which could have been easily avoided.

Considering the importance of such a crucial event it would seem perfectly normal (and certainly prudent) to contract the services of Integrated Relocation Spain

	Remember
Professionalism + Trust + Local knowledge	=	Peace of mind + Cost savings + A better future
