Real Estate Agents: Property Buyers Agents in The Gambia
Once you have completed your wish list, we get to work
talking to the Gambia Estate Agents, private sellers and
property developers, searching for properties in the Gambia
that fit into your criteria and forward the details to you
by email.
Once you have had a chance to look through these properties
email us with those you like, telling us the features you
do and do not want in your chosen property to enable us
to match your requirements as closely as possible.
The next step will then be to arrange for a trip here
(or as short or as long as you want) so we can go and view
the properties (more may have come in meanwhile so we can
add them to the list).

What is the difference between our service and a traditional
Gambia estate agency?
An estate agency works for their customer, the property
owner. We work for you. The difference is that we have your
interests at heart, while an estate agency has the interests
of their client uppermost in their mind, as you would expect.
What happens if I see a property with an estate agent?
Tell us. We will make contact with the agents on your behalf,
get all of the details for you, visit the property to ensure
it is exactly as presented by the agent, and let you know
our findings. It is important to remember that you are our
client. We work on your behalf to ensure your visit to The
Gambia is a success in terms of finding the right properties
to visit.
Why do we list properties on this site?
Our job is not to sell you a property, but to find the
property you want. There is a very real difference. We list
properties on our site from our participating estate agents
and our own portfolio of private direct sales only to demonstrate
the standard of the developments. We cannot guarantee the
accuracy of the details until we have visited the properties
personally.
When we have your 'wish list', we will work from that.
Once we have a property that falls into your category, we
will send details to you immediately. This is far simpler
than looking through all of the properties available.
What happens when you arrive in the Gambia?
The day following your arrival, we will meet you with a
list of properties that fit as closely as possible the criteria
on your wish list. Over coffee, we will go through the list,
deciding those to visit, and those to eliminate. We willl
then spend the afternoon, and the following days if need
be, driving to properties and viewing them. We will accompany
you to each one, to deal with the estate agents and owners
for you. We will arrange bank and legal services, and make
sure all the bases are covered so you have nothing to worry
about when you go home.
Do we specialise in an area or property type?
In terms of area, we cover all of the Gambia. Regarding
properties, we do not specialise, we can find any type of
property you are interested in.
Will I need a lawyer?
Always. Lawyers cost around 10% of your purchase price.
If the transaction is straightforward, we can save you money
by undertaking the conveyancing ourselves. If the transaction
has the potential to be more risky.
What about information on taxes and laws?
We an advise on all Gambian property laws and taxes here
in the Gambia. Don't let any issues regarding laws or taxes
worry you, we will be with you through the whole process,
until the keys are in your hands, and after that as long
as you need us.
What about rentals?
Renting your property is a great way of maximising your
investment. We offer services from Property Management,
Residential and Commercial Sales, Valuation, International
Marketing, Consultancy and Research, all assisted by state-of-the-art
marketing and information technology.
We care about your property - We stake our reputation on
it.
Do I need a bank account in The Gambia?
Yes. When you have found the property you want to buy,
we will accompany you to open a bank account locally. We
use international banks where all the staff speak very good
English.
