Contacting
OWNERS DIRECT has an enormous advantage over contacting an agent hoping to find that ideal holiday package. Once armed with the contact details of a villa that attracts the eye, the opportunity exists to be able to find out more information about the chosen area, what is on, popular places of interest and so on. So one would think but surprisingly though many owners have not been back since buying the property; the reason simply because it was a purchase with a future in mind, maybe for retiring to or intending to sell later for a nice profit. Either way, the individual planning a holiday wants to know what is around and that responsibility belongs to the owner; after all they should know what is in the broom cupboard or which bar is best for a great evening out.
With the way building has been progressing in some of the Costa regions in Spain, if often means that an owner originally purchased their property where bars had yet to be built, even restaurants were only in the minds of architects. The property purchased has a fantastic view of the sea, or rather it did at one time, but suddenly after a few years of rural buildings with nothing to spoil a vast expanse of the blue Mediterranean Sea or mountain view, has seen an explosion of building projects and whole new urbanizations built in front of them.
Owners with their own property should think about what it is that attracted them to the property in the first place and they should mention that on their advert. People looking for a holiday home are not interested in what the owner has in the villa, whether they have two bedside tables or that the ironing board is in the back room. What holidaymakers want to know is where are the nearest recreational facilities or where can the kids be taken just for the day the nearest theme park? Phone numbers are always an enormous help; contact details in case something happens but more importantly how to contact the local police ambulance or even fire brigade. And then numbers of the local delivery service; how many people go home after a day at the beach as they open the door the discussion invariably passes to what shall we eat quickly followed by the "oh I don't fancy cooking tonight"?
Often on websites there are thousands of properties all seemingly having one thing in common: the first picture of the swimming pool, looking decidedly tired and lonely. Almost everyone coming to the Costa Blanca expects a barbeque next with the pool. Show welcoming pictures, something homely: a table outside laid ready to be eaten from, a glass of wine sitting next to an open bottle, with a pool in the background or better still the view of the mountains. If the owner has found a website that allows more than half a dozen photos use the space; so many owners expect to rent out there property with 6 pictures that show off the villa. What about pictures of the beach or local restaurants, the local go-karts or other attractions, famous landmarks? A strong selling point of any villa is the view from the terrace or the infinity pool but not all villas have either. The advantage for holiday makers to contact
OWNERS DIRECT should ensure a fabulous vacation with the villa of your choice.
