I was looking for a nice house or apartment on the Costa Brava, region Llafranc / Palafrugell, but as a foreigner I did not know how the market works nor how real estate purchase works in Spain. Sophia showed me around the different places in this region, each with their own individuality. She looked for a number of possible homes for me and visited them together. This gave me a good feeling about the pricing and what would fit within my budget. After some back and forth bidding, we came to an agreement with a beautifully situated apartment that needed some upgrading. Sophia has taken on the supervision from A to Z, up to and including the notarial deed. Wim then supervised the refurbishing works, which also involved the replacement of an existing wall with a new window. He provided quotations, helped with the choice of materials and followed up the works. The combination of these two services is ideal for carefree buying of Real estate in this region.

Our experience with Porfinca selling our house has been very positive

We once bought our house from Porfinca after expert advice.

We were also assisted very professionally with the sale of our house.

Very pleasant.

From France, we had selected no less than 8 houses to visit. When we arrived in San Antoni, Sophia had perfectly organized the visits for us (brochure for each house, relevant order of visits, technical and financial information, etc.).

We fell in love with a house and again Sophia was very available for a follow-up a few days later. Then she accompanied us in the negotiations with the sellers to allow us to finalize our purchase.

Then she took care of everything for us (Formalities, Various contacts, contact with sellers, ...). We were fully taken care of without the slightest concern.

Even after the title deed, she continued to take care of the first essential formalities (water, electricity, etc.).

We were really lucky to select this agency from France, it allowed us to make our project a reality. It is rare to meet someone so available, knowledgeable, but above all so kind.

We are very satisfied with the guidance of the sale of our house in Spain.

Due to circumstances of the buyers and the Corona restrictions, the transfer took a long time, but through the mediation of Porfinca everything turned out well in the end.

Joyce en Gerrit Stijlaart

The service Porfinca provided in the person of Frank Smit was excellent. The entire sale of our house in Playa de Pals has been very well supervised and due to circumstances (Covid) handled remotely with full power of attorney.

Frank kept us extremely well informed throughout the entire process and very often offered in advance how and where to assist. The entire sales process was therefore very easy for us, ran smoothly and to our full satisfaction. 

Pieter Aartsen en Karin Winkel

With the help of Porfinca I sold my father's villa, which I couldn't have done on my own.

Thanks to Sophia's knowledge, I had great support by my side. It took a lot of papers, a lot of time and patience, but Sophia took care of everything and was always very friendly and absolutely trustworthy.

I can only recommend Porfinca, they are just great!

Yvonne from Switzerland

We had a very positive experience working with Porfinca. The expertise, effort, guidance and presentation resulting in the sale of the house has been a very pleasant experience. Especially in these difficult Covid times, everything has been done to sell our property with a good result. We already knew Porfinca from the purchase of our house 12 years ago; we have been able to regularly use their extensive knowledge of all kinds of matters related to living in Spain.

Our score is 5. Unfortunately, 5+ is not allowed

Porfinca can be caracterized by its persisting sales efforts.

Porfinca has all this know-how in house and it is so reassuring that Porfinca will take care of all your problems and concerns.
The guidance during the title deed at the notary was also very professional.

Considering your house up for sale at Porfinca? Just do it!!

Great: professional, knowledge, helpfulness, personal and involved.

Sophia assists with everything before and after the sale and nothing is too much for her. She is very  after the sale.

Despite the Covid restrictions and me being unable to travel to Spain and Sophia arranged everything locally in Spain for me very competently and pleasantly and sold the house!

I was also very happy with the extremely nice photos taken.

Porfinca has guided us in a very professional manner from the start of our search for a suitable home. Sophia and Wim's services are characterized by care, commitment and reliability. Porfinca's services are not limited to the expected service from a real estate agency. Partly thanks to Sophia and Wim we were able to buy our dream house.

Edward en Susanne Winkelman

We experienced a professional and correct guidance when purchasing our holiday home. We were assisted in, among other things, the contacts between the sellers, and afterwards during and after the title deed, in order to arrange the associated formalities at the bank and government agencies.

We could always count on advice from Porfinca during the renovation works following the purchase. Porfinca put us in contact with competent local contractors and the quotations were also translated by them. The progress of the works was also monitored and we were regularly updated with photos.

No question was too much and the response was always immediate.

We could also rely on them for simple matters such as applying for an internet connection.

In short, a mega service!

Beatrix and Frank Moelans

Porfinca were extremely professional throughout the whole transaction. Both Wim and Sophia were very responsive at all times and were a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend them.

All the best,

Steve and Anita Brooke

We approached Porfinca during the purchase process of our villa (2nd house) in Cabanyes, Calonge, in 2019. Partly because we live & work in the Netherlands ourselves, partly because we are not well (enough) aware of the various (legal and administrative) formalities and obligations as a buyer, but mainly because of the many years of expertise and 100% added value that Porfinca was able to offer us in this matter, at very competitive rates. 

During the purchase process, we had an extremely pleasant (personal) contact, optimal support and adequate coordination, and in the period after the purchase & delivery Porfinca has also provided us with excellent assistance and advice, solicited and unsolicited.

From the first moment of our contact, we have experienced Porfinca as an expert, professional, honest and dedicated party, with whom we were very happy and still are.

We can recommend Porfinca to everyone, both for real estate advice and for guidance in buying and selling of a property.

Peter en Eszter Poharnok

Porfinca has sold our house through a professional, energetic and persistent sales effort.
We are very satisfied with the cooperation and service of Porfinca.

Greetings from the Netherlands

Berend en Nel Timmers

After several unsuccessful attempts by various agencies to sell our house in Calonge, friends brought Porfinca to our attention.

We were advised professionals by them, especially with regard to the possible sales price to be achieved;  they did not push at all to set the price too low so that a quick deal could be achieved. 

The photographic documentation was designed objectively and very professionally. 

Porfinca also assisted in the procurement of all legally required sales documents. 

The visit of our property with prospective clients was professional and objective, sometimes with the involvement of ourselves, so that personal contact between the seller and the customer was possible.

The final sales formalities, notary, taxes, formalities with the municipality etc. were carried out by Porfinca.

With a rating on a scale of 1-5, we would consider a 5 to be appropriate.

Regards,  Monika und Georg Bernhard

We have searched during five years for our dream home in Spain. This property had to be on the Costa Brava.
After some wanderings we finally ended up at Porfinca. They have quickly made an end to our search for that ideal home.

Due to their professional dedication and know-how, the purchase of our house in Calonge was finally very simple and would not have been possible without the support of Porfinca.
Prior to and after the purchase , they continued to assist us and put us in touch with the right resources that a second home abroad require ; the Porfinca “after sales” service is great.

In short, Porfinca is the place to be.

Luuk Nijenhuis and Marjolein van der Helden

Sophia at Porfinca was professional and personable at all times,we were treated like family rather than a customer.

From viewing properties,to purchasing, helping us open a bank account,sorting out electricity,council and water bills,Sophia has been amazing.

 I would award her 100 stars but am limited to 5/5,

Ruth and Stephen Grint

"Very professional and receptive to all our necessities; at our side during all phases of the process.

In addition, a great availability after the sale to give us all the useful tips for good integration in the sector."

Martina et Jean Claude Flamen

We searched during years for the suitable house and had quite some viewings with different real estate agents of which several houses with Sophia Drogë from Porfinca. It was also the only office that answered promptly our mails.

But unfortunately Sophia did not have a house for sale that suited us at that time. Ultimately, we found a house at another broker. But because not all real estate agents can be trusted in Spain, we called Sophia-Porfinca and asked her to act as our Buyer broker. It was no problem at all to support us. 

Clear financial arrangements were made in order to avoid any surprises. Sophia Dröge is an expert in legal matters and has therefore managed to uncover all hidden issues. 

Furthermore she arranged everything for us from A to Z. 

We dare to say that without Sophia's guidance the house would never have become our property; it seemed to be a property transaction full of surprises. 

If you want to buy a house on the Costa Brava, first visit Porfinca. If Profinca does not have a suitable property at the moment, they can act as your Buyer broker. 

Just PERFECT in one word
