Buyer & Seller
We bought and sold our house in Olvera through Olvera Properties.
Zoe had endless patience when we were looking to buy, making sure we found the property that was right for us.
After living in Olvera for 4 years we decided to sell and once again Olvera properties dealt with everything. Anne-Marie liaised with potential buyers and took responsibility for viewings ect. making it very easy.
On the day of the sale, Zoe and Anne-Marie made sure all paperwork was correct, taxes due were paid and utility companies informed of change of owner.
For buying and selling we would recommend Olvera Properties.
Olvera is a beautiful place to live and using Olvera Properties made it very easy to happen!

We highly reccomend Olvera properties.
We have purchased and sold 10 times in Spain since 2000 and have met many agents some good and some bad on our travels to find the perfect location. When buying or selling here it is wise to find a reliable honest agency.
We finally met Zoe at Olvera Properties in 2006, thank goodness! Zoe and her team are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, HONEST,reliable and take pride in their business and offer a great service to both buyer and seller. Their site is one of the best we have seen. Zoe’s photographic skills show the properties well and includes plenty of information.
Having searched for many years for a typical unspoilt Spanish town, we where so pleased to find Olvera a hidden jewel in Andalucia.
We loved Olvera from the first moment, a beautiful setting , with fantastic views over olive groves and mountains. The local Spanish are very friendly and warm always offering a smile and welcome to newcomers.
p.s they sold a property of ours within a week.

Zoe of Olvera Properties couldn’t have been more helpful in selling our townhouse in Olvera & in a very short space of time. The service we received throughout the whole process was first class & everything ran as smoothly as could have been possible. Without Zoe’s expertise, professionalism & local knowledge things would have certainly been a lot more stressful & I’m sure we wouldn’t have sold the property in twice the time with any other agent in the area.

6 months after subscribing to Spain Magazine, I realised that every month, I was looking for the Olvera Properties ad! I loved the unconventional (in estate agent terms!!) upbeat descriptions, the lovely properties, & the wonderful view of Olvera at the top of the page. I think I’d already fallen at that stage!! I knew the Andalucian coastline, but had never really explored inland, so I didn’t really know anything about Olvera & the surrounding area. Having been fortunate enough to pay off my UK mortgage, I then decided it was time to take out another, at the grand old age of 59, & look into buying my dream home in the sun.
I contacted the company & arranged to fly out for a weekend to look at properties. It wasn’t an auspicious start as I left my driving licence at home!! But no fear, Olvera properties & Co to the rescue!! I was collected from Jerez airport by Pete & started my trip. The following morning, Zoe met me & took me to look at the 8 properties in Pruna & Olvera that I’d earmarked, leaving the one I thought most interesting till last. Guess what…the second I saw that house I loved it! We walked up the outside spiral staircase & it got its name, 5 minutes on the roof terrace & I had made plans! By the time I’d left on Sunday, I’d decided to buy. I returned in October to review everything & by January 2009, Stairway To Heaven was mine!
Throughout the whole process, I have nothing but praise for the team at Olvera Properties, guiding, translating, organising & generally making everything seem so simple. They are an amazingly friendly, & knowledgeable bunch, who make it all seem so simple, while no doubt gritting teeth on many an occasion when things don’t go according to plan, but keeping on till the job’s done. I have never bought a house with so little fuss & drama! It would still remain an impossible dream if it wasn’t for Zoe, Anne-Marie & the whole team. Thank you so much for making my dream come true!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Anne-Marie and Zoe for your outstanding help and advice, above and beyond, over the sale of the house. I was so impressed and so very, very thankful to both of you.

Buying a house abroad is always an act of endeavouring. One always feels a bit ‘helpless’. There are other laws and rules, some extra procedures and formalities to take into account. One may browse the internet and think he is aware and well informed. Yet, when it comes to the actual buying lots of question marks do pop up. Anne-Marie, Zoe and Steve were the perfect answer. Excellent guidance throughout the buying process, always there at very late evening hours to give us patiently answers to another rain of questions. Even when we could only make it to Olvera between X-mas and New Year because of our jobs, when the office is closed for the Season, someone was arranged to welcome us and show us round a second time.
The actual selling and buying proved a real challenge when the bank forgot about their own banking rules. Zoe and Anne-Marie kept their cool and came up with an on the spot solution that satisfied seller, buyer and bank. This is an act of real professionalism which we will not forget as it really saved us from a very nasty feeling on a day we had been looking forward to for several months.
Thanks for your professional attitude. You guys never forget that you are dealing with real people, of flesh and blood. That personal and human approach is real plus. As a buyer, one is entrusting the agent with his hard earned savings. The entire OP team is well aware of that and fights to gain ones trust. They really DO want the best for their customers. We never got the feeling of buying forced into anything whatsoever. Although abroad, we felt at HOME …
Thanks guys and keep up doing that personalised work of yours.

The team at Olvera Properties (especially Anne Marie) really understood what we wanted, and helped us find it! They “held our hands” throughout the entire process, providing clarity and support and a listening ear! Buying our home in Spain was a dream for us – Olvera Properties made our dream reality. These are people you can trust.

After selling our holiday cottage in Brittany we were looking for a complete change, and a hotter climate, and found this in Olvera. We visited several times to view properties and were looked after by Anne-Marie of Olvera properties, who showed us many houses and was extremely helpful. When we eventually decided that Olvera was the place for us both Anne-Marie and Zoe we there on the day we bought our house and provided valuable help and advice with every aspect of the purchase. Since then Olvera Properties have been an invaluable source of information and practical help with all aspects of setting up home from a distance. We heartily recommend Olvera properties to anyone looking for a property in Spain.

Having used Olvera Properties when we bought our first house in 2010, (which is being successfully rented out as a holiday home)we had absolutely no hesitation in using them again when we decided to buy a second home in Olvera. We wanted a ruin that we could reform and put our own stamp on but finding a place that was just right for us was not easy. The houses we looked at were too big or two small or beyond our budget. Anne-Marie didn’t give up looking and she finally found us the perfect house. She then arranged inspections by a local builder and an architect, arranged quotes and gave us lots of helpful advice. The work on the house should be starting in the next couple of months and we should have our second dream home ready next year! Thanks again Anne-Marie and Zoe for all your invaluable help!
