Kristina Szekely
Less a real estate agency, and more an institution,
Kristina Szekely has been selling top end properties in southern Spain for more than thirty years. With more than 160 staff and 7 offices along the coast, her business is still thriving, despite difficult times in the property market in Spain.
Kristina herself is a flamboyant character and well-respected on the coast; always visible at events and social activities – contacts and networking is the name of the game here, and no one does it better than Kristina. The business itself is professionally run, so whether you’re looking to buy or sell a villa, town house, or apartment, the company is well placed to serve your needs.
Between them, her staff speak fourteen different languages (Kristina herself speaks seven) so it’s a truly multi-cultural environment, geared towards an international market. The company provides a variety of services, from help on legal and financial issues, to advice on interior design and decoration. It has more than three thousand select properties on its books, many front line beach developments. Kristina Szekely also deals with plots for construction and land for development available through their network of sales offices. And the company prides itself on a high level of service to the client. As Kristina herself says:
“We have a total different approach to business to most businesses I know. I travel, I’m always learning new ways, and I transmit this love to the business, to all the people around me, to the staff, to the people that are buyers and sellers, and I think they gain confidence and trust. It’s important to respect their needs and wishes.”
Her business is also now associated with Sotheby’s international realty, which is part of the famous Sotheby’s auction house.
