Nick gave me excellent advice on buying a property in Spain. It helped me to make the right descisions. He is down to earth, competent and has a large professional network in the real estate sector. And I also loved reading his book!

Nick is a very knowledgeable agent who only has his client's best interests at heart. He gave us so much good advice about buying property in Spain that you can't just find online. Highly recommended.

Thank you Nick. Buying a property in a new country is a daunting task, and meeting an english agent, who also lives in the area makes it all seem possible. Your local knowledge and experience was really important in giving us the confidence to buy. Always helpful and always available to answer questions and give advice as we settled in. Greatly appreciated.

We recently purchased a house through Nick and the service provided by him was excellent. He is not only immensely helpful and patient, but interesting and kind hearted too. Nick provided us with regular updates on our property progress throughout and was easy to get hold of with any queries. We would highly recommend his services to anyone. 💯

The first time we met Nick was a year before we bought our house in Gandia area. For the first contact, he spent more than 3 hours with us even if he knew we were not ready to buy. He took his time to well understand our needs and to explain in detail the Spanish market and risk you might take if you don’t pay attention especially if you are a foreigner.The process to buy our house took us 3 additional visits spread over a period of roughly a year. Each time Nick spent a significant amount of time with us for the visits, and I must say he was very patient. At the end we have completed the deal and are very pleased with our acquisition.The process before and after buying the house went smoothly and the final signature of the deal was done even without us, but with our lawyer recommended by Nick. So, full trust in his recommendation.In summary, if you are looking for a trustable real estate agent, I highly recommend Nick for his professionalism, high knowledge of the market good advice and most of all for his kindness.

We recently bought a villa through Nick and I can’t recommend him enough. From start to finish he made the process easy. He provided us with a list of valuable contacts to help us with the purchase and he was always on hand if we had a question about anything. Superb service from a very knowledgable experienced estate agent. Thank you Nick.

Nick is not your regular estate agent, he has been the absolute star from start to finish. Much more than an estate agent, he gives honest feedback, directs you to great contacts and services, and provides reassurance in the buying of your property. Nick has over 20n years of experience in the Spanish housing market, you can feel confident that he knows what he's doing. He helped us through the buying process, which we couldn't have done without him. And we have been so thankful for the advice and information he has provided to help us settle in to our new surroundings.

Nick has been the absolute best from start to finish. Much more than a realtor, he gives honest feedback, directs you to great contacts and services, and provides reassurance in the buying and selling of your property. With years of experience in the Spanish housing market, you can feel confident that he knows what he's doing. He helped us through a few bumps in the buying process, which we couldn't have done without him. And as new expats, we have been so thankful for the advice and information he has provided to help us settle in to our new surroundings and new community.

Nick Snelling is a rare gem in real estate. He is honest and helps you find the right home for your desired lifestyle even if it means a smaller commission for him. You will never see that in an agent in the United States.We first came to know Nick through his appearances on House Hunters International. When we came to the Costa Blanca in 2021 to look for an area to settle in we wound up meeting him through recommendations from friends in the American Expatriates in Spain Facebook. He listened to what we wanted for our new lives in Spain and showed us house in around the area. He know we were not ready to buy but that didn't stop him from taking his time with us. When we returned in early 2023 he showed us the house we now live in on the first day.Nick iis the kind of agent who will make your move a soft landing.

Nick helped us when we sold our villa, he was brilliant probably the most genuine estate agent I have dealt with. His knowledge of the legalities of selling in a foreign country was invaluable. Fantastic! Would highly recommend

I highly recommend Nick Snelling for anyone who is considering purchasing a property in the Gandia - La Safor region.Navigating the Spanish real estate market and processes is very different than many people from other countries are accustom to. Nick will act in your best interest. This is so important in a real estate market like Spain which is dominated by many agents who represent both a seller and buyer in the same transaction.Nick also has more than 20+ years in this region of Spain so he is able to help his clients find the best area for their needs and price point. He is professional, friendly, and always provides sound advice. We really valued his perspectives as we began exploring the area and looking at properties.We are so thrilled to have found Nick. He helped us find our home in Gandia and represented us throughout the sale process. Nick also has many wonderful contacts and connections in the region which has been immensely helpful to us post sale.

Nick is not your regular estate agent. He has a great amount of knowledge to help you through your house buying journey, from the legal through to general area knowledge. He will be able to put you in contact with all the relevant people to make your purchace go as smooth as possible. He has a very relaxed manner not in the slightest bit pushy. Nick helped us by our house in 2023. All in all we are very happy with the service Nick provided, as it can often be a complicated processwhen buying, and moving to another country. Thank you Nick.

Nick is the best help you can get to get yourself a home away from home. Effortlessly he supported me during my the search for the right property. Providing additional videos about any property with good to know background information, Nick is always available when needed and gives the best and genuine advice for both property and region. Highly recommended real estate agent!

A certain 5 stars for Nick Snelling.Buying property abroad when you don’t have sufficient knowledge of the language can be fraught with problems and expensive mistakes.Nick is one of a kind, a mine of information and a truly honest estate agent. He is more like a friend than a salesman and we had a great day with him being shown all of the properties that met our requirements.Highly recommended.

Nick is the most genuine property consultant that I have dealt with. The level of care and assistance he gives you is exemplary. This assistance continues long after the contracts have been signed. He maintains regular contact and offers advice where necessary without being intrusive. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and Casalasafor Consultancies to my friends and family.

Nick has been brilliant. He helped us prepare the property and put us in contact with various people to repair our pool, sell our car and cull the garden. He also recommended a great solicitor and ultimately sold our house in under 6 months. Fantastic job well done!

If you are in the market to buy or sell a home in the Gandia area, you must reach out to Nick Snelling at Casalasafor Consultancies. Having gone through the buying process myself, (which can be quite daunting from outside Spain) it is clear to me that Nick goes very much above and beyond the role of agent, and is instead a true partner from beginning to end. He will very generously share his vast level of real estate experience and expertise with you. I would recommend Nick to anyone without hesitation!

I first came across Nick Snelling on House Hunters International and Place in the Sun. When I was ready to buy in Spain, I contacted Nick. He was incredibly helpful and immediately offered up invaluable nuggets from his decades of experience. With his guidance, I soon had all the tools needed to buy successfully in Spain. He was with me in every step of the process, from home viewings all the way to the notary (and beyond!). Spain is riddled with traps for the ex pat buyer but Nick made sure I navigated them all with ease. In the end, I bought my dream home; without Nick, it never would have happened! Run, don’t walk, to Casalafor and Nick Snelling.

I originally found Nick Snelling, owner of Casalasafor Consultancies, via his book on Amazon. When I discovered he was a realtor in the area we were interested in, I contacted him.We were moving from Texas to Spain so needed a fair bit of handholding and guidance. Nick could not have been more helpful and professional. He really listened to what we wanted and showed us multiple properties. When we wanted to look in another area, he connected us with a realtor he trusted. We ultimately bought a house from Nick and could not be happier. (The picture is the day our offer was accepted.)Even after we closed, Nick continued to help us adapt to our new area and introduced us to other people in our area. I recommend Nick to everyone I encounter in the expat groups on social media who are thinking of moving from the US to our area of Spain.

Nick helped me out so much with contacts and information. He is honest and knowledgeable. So much or what you can find online about properties and relocation is vague and misleading so it was invaluable to have his support. Thanks.

I can highly recommend Nick as your consultant for buying property in the "La Safor" region. He is very profesional, very communicative and trustworthy. But don't forget to read his book, How to Buy Spanish property and move to Spain safely, as it has loads of useful information on all aspects and possible pitfalls of buying property in Spain. It will make buying property in Spain less stressful. Thank you Nick for all your time and effort.

I highly recommend Casalasafor for all your property needs in Gandia and surrounds. Nick has intimate knowledge of the local area and the best places in which to buy. He has a network of honest and reliable contacts such as property surveyors, lawyers, bank managers and the like. Moreover, he is, quite simply, an expert on the ins and outs of the Spanish property purchase process, which is a real minefield. If you are in need of honest, pragmatic and knowledgeable property consultant - you've come to the right place.

The Casalasafor site is comprehensive, and has a range of options to suite all tastes and budgets.Over a period of a year, Nick guided and advised us before, during, and after our purchase of a Spanish home. His knowledge and enthusiasm, along with a willingness to spend time and effort for people, is outstanding. He has an honest approach to things and helps lead you to the correct purchase. Overall, we couldn't have found any better assistance for our Spanish move.

Hello. I have known Nick for over 20 years & have bought through Casalasafor. What is very impressive is his determination to get things right. One could put this down to his legal training (LLB) and his time in the military. My feeling is above all else he wants very satisfied customers who in turn will highly recommend him. Very few property agents can show you a book that tells you in detail how a property transaction should pan out. Called: 'How to Buy Property and Move to Spain - Safely!' it is an excellent read and will help you make all the right choices.For most people buying in Spain is life changing. There are quite a few sharks around who make the door locking in a Time Share presentation quite amateur. Nick’s approach is about as far away as one could get.I recently took an old friend to see Nick who I know to be a very very demanding customer. Nick hit the spot with viewing number 4.

Based on our experience in dealing with Nick, we can faithfully say that his professionalism is extraordinary. In providing his services he goes well beyond the call of duty which made the daunting task of buying property in Spain much simpler and straightforward than expected. What Nick provides is not just an estate agent service but a whole package of support from start to finish and beyond. Based on the above, we highlighted recommend Casalasafor.
