Canary Island Property (Selling Online)
One of the best ways to sell your property to use the internet. The Casa Quest website (www.casaquest.com) displays thousands of properties from some of the top real estate agents in the Canary Islands. You’ll find that most sales are fast and hassle free when handled by an experienced estate agent.
Casa Quest has the largest and most varied selection of property for sale in Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria). The site is aimed at buyers, sellers and investors. It provides a wealth of information about the Spanish property market and the buying or selling process.
Sale options
When selling your property in the Canary Islands you can either go through an agent or sell it privately yourself.
Selling through an Estate Agent
An agent will normally charge you between 3% and 10% of the agreed return price for selling your property.
Depending on the value of the property, this can be a significant amount of money. For example, an apartment for sale at an asking price of 150,000 euros, would be subject to an Agents fee of 7,500 euros at 5% commission.
For this fee, most agents will advertise your property in press & magazine adverts as well as on their website.
Real estate agents in Spain generally take a very hands- on approach to the sale of your property. They’ll look after everything for you, from initial property search and market advice to arranging legal proceedings and conveyancing.
Selling privately
The obvious advantage with selling privately is that you don’t have to pay the agents any commission.
That said, you’ll have to do all your own advertising – you need to let potential buyers, who are looking for a property like yours, know that it’s available. Communicating back and forth with numerous would-be buyers can be quite time consuming. You’ll probably need to seek legal advice too (to be on the safe).

How it all began
Casa Quest is the brainchild of Dr Paul Johnson, a retired British medical practitioner. After living and working in Tenerife for ten years he saw the difficulties that can come with buying or selling a property in the Canary Islands.
With the help of Sorted Sites – leading local web development agency, Casa Quest was created. This unique and very complex site took several months to create. It’s now up and running since 2003.
