A few months before moving our family to Spain we contacted the forsalebysallyinspain team for assistance with finding a lease in the Gandia area. Harry provided us with a contact that led to a long term lease which helped our family settle into the area. Months later Harry found for us what turned out to be our dream home. From the initial home visit and beyond signing, Harry made the process simple, provided us with contacts for a plumber, painter, etc., and still checks in with us to see if we need help with anything. We never felt pressured, in fact, Harry suggested staying in our lease, taking time to see if Gandia is indeed a good fit for us, and waiting for the right house to come along. I would recommend to anyone deciding to make the move to this area to reach out to forsalebysallyinspain.com as Harry and team go above and beyond what one would expect from a real estate agency.

Ah, to find the perfect home! The quest for me was vast but Spain offered something special in my search which began roughly 2 years ago.

After leaving the U.S. in 2006 to live in Qatar, for the next 18 years, I knew that one day I would search the world in my travels for the perfect home. I say home because to me, a house isn’t just a house, it is a home. A place of thought and peace. A place filled with family and friends, laughter, tears, good food, music and of course two golden retrievers!

The idea of what I wanted proved a long search but was guided by Harry Stallwood , a very patient and knowledgeable agent with For Sale By Sally in Spain. Without Harry, I am sure I would have settled on something less then had remorse.

I was fortunate enough to find a house that needed to be completely redesigned. When I stood where my master bedroom is now, a voice seemed to whisper “stay” . This was Spain’s magical whisper telling me this is where I belong.

I began the thoughtful process of designing the house to my specific style, making a classic Spanish constructed house into a blend of old and new. The local builder that Harry recommended has done gorgeous work with the highest quality even while I was thousands of kilometers away during construction. Again, Harry stepped in numerous times for video calls and helped sort through translation and questions. I popped over occasionally to see progress and was always met by his kindness on site as we sorted through what was needed. From the placement of tiles to the internet! I couldn’t have managed all of it on my own to be honest and almost 2 years later I wake in that same bedroom with the view of the mountains that surround La Drova as the sun glistens golden hues and smile with gratitude for the path that was provided for me as my dream home and place to live!

When I decided to move internationally it was quite stressful at times logistically moving belongings and animals. But never once did I feel stress in choosing the house or building my home in Spain. This is because I chose the right real estate company, which is knowledgeable, and goes beyond what is needed for their clients. My highest regard goes to the entire team !

Translated; Seriousness, transparency, speed, very professional. From the beginning, kindness, availability, quick contact with clients. Without a doubt very good real estate!

Original in Spanish; Seriedad, transparencia, rapidez, muy profesionales. Desde el principio amabilidad , disponibilidad, contacto rapido con clientes. Sin duda muy buena inmobiliaria.

Brilliant service and extremely knowledgeable......would recommend speaking with / to Harry, at 'For Sale By Sally In Spain' estate agents, for anyone buying in the Gandia / Oliva region. Will certainly be recommending my family / friends to consult him if they are looking to buy in the area. Thank you!

Highly professional, helpful, and honest people. Want to know everything about one of their properties and get their honest opinion on whether it meets your needs? You'll get it! They'll even politely tell you if it doesn't. How nice is that! Honest and clear. Beautiful photos and videos, and excellent floor plans. This way, you can see what it looks like without even being there. There are no hidden details in the photos; you see everything. They explain everything calmly and kindly, and if you need more information, it's never too much to ask. What comes around comes around. We wish you all the best and love!
(Original) Zeer professionele, behulpzame en eerlijke mensen. Wil je graag alles weten over een van hun woningen en hun eerlijke mening of een huis past bij jouw opgegeven wensen? Die krijg je! Ze zeggen het ook netjes als het niet zo is. Hoe fijn is dat! Eerlijk en helder. Prachtige foto's en video's en fijne plattegronden. Zo kan je ook zonder er te hoeven zijn, zien hoe het eruit ziet. Geen verborgen zaken op de foto's, je ziet alles. Ze leggen je alles rustig en vriendelijk uit en als je je nog meer info wenst is dat nooit teveel gevraagd. What comes around goes around. We wensen jullie alle geluk en liefde toe!

Hello, I have just finalized the purchase of my villa in Marxuquera. I bought this property which was for sale at "For sale by Sally in Spain". I am absolutely delighted with the serious work of Harry who, through his sympathy, professionalism and availability, met all my expectations. The sale (for administrative reasons independent of the agency) was postponed for several months. However, Harry remained in contact with me throughout this time and always reassured me about the smooth running of this one. Every question (and there were many) Harry answered as quickly as possible. The lawyer advised by the agency gave me complete satisfaction. Not speaking Spanish very well, Harry also asked his partner Dao (very available and friendly) who speaks French. She frankly helped us a lot even at the signature at the notary. Many thanks to Dao for her kindness and good humor. We have been living in the villa for a few days and Harry and his brother Clark are always available to help us at the slightest request. (Insurance, internet, etc...). Another great proof of their desire to satisfy the customer even after the sale. Harry (avid gardener) even offered me some trees to plant in my huge garden. ''For Sale by Sally in Spain'' is a very serious family agency that respects the client and has a very human approach to relationships. These days it feels good especially when buying a property in a foreign country. I recommend this agency 100% and thank Harry for all the good work done. Thanks to the whole team of "For Sale by Sally in Spain" I now live in a little paradise in the middle of orange trees and 15 minutes from the sea. A big thank you. Eric and Catherine

Bonjour, je viens juste de finaliser l'achat de ma villa à Marxuquera..J'ai acheté cette propriété qui était en vente chez "For sale by Sally in Spain".Je suis absolument enchanté du travail sérieux de Harry qui, par sa sympathie , son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité, a répondu à toutes mes attentes. La vente (pour des raisons administratives indépendantes de l'agence) a été reportée de plusieurs mois.Cependant Harry est resté pendant tout ce temps en contact avec moi et m'a toujours rassuré sur le bon déroulement de celle ci. A chaque question( et il y en eu beaucoup) Harry y a répondu le plus rapidement possible. L'avocat conseillé par l'agence m'a donné entière satisfaction . Ne parlant pas tres bien l'espagnol, Harry a également sollicité sa femme Dao ( très disponible et sympathique) qui parle français . Elle nous a franchement bien aidé et cela jusqu'à la signature chez le notaire . Un grand merci à Dao pour sa gentillesse et sa bonne humeur. Nous habitons la villa depuis quelques jours et Harry et son frère Clark sont toujours disponibles pour nous aider à la moindre sollicitation. ( Assurance, internet , etc...). Encore une belle preuve de leur volonté de satisfaire le client même après la vente. Harry ( passionné de jardinage) m'a même offert quelques arbres à planter dans mon immense jardin. ''For Sale by Sally in Spain'' est une agence familiale des plus sérieuse qui respecte le client et qui a une approche tres humaine du relationnel. Par les temps qui court cela fait du bien surtout lorsqu'on achète une propriété dans un pays étranger. Je recommande à 100% cette agence et remercie Harry pour tout ce bon travail accompli . Grace à toute l'équipe de "For Sale by Sally in Spain" je vis aujourd'hui dans un petit paradis au milieu des orangers et à 15 mn de la mer .Un grand merci . Eric et Catherine
