“We have only good experiences with Arie and Moraira Invest group. Since the first contact, they have been able to give us the necessary confidence to take the step to buy a home abroad. They have always confirmed this confidence during the process from purchase and construction to final delivery. I have never known such a good follow-up from a real estate agent. Arie was our yard supervisor when we were away and provided regular updates. Recommended!

We have worked with Moraira invest over a number of years.

With services including designing, acquiring planning consent , and then managing the build of a new Villa.

Their service, guidance, and professionalism were exemplary through out each element of the process.

So much so we have commissioned Arie and the team to Aquire another plot on our behalf and manage the build of a new Villa on it.

They have also managed the sale of our existing Villa in the process.

We have had nothing other than professional honest help and advice throughout each process.

We could not recommend them highly enough.

” We bought our dream home through Moraira Invest Group! We were able to arrange everything (besides of course the viewing) in the Netherlands, which was due to the good contact with Boi. He responded quickly and actually arranged everything, so that we were able to arrange everything perfectly on time. Moraira Invest Group also has good contacts in the region. I can recommend this real estate agent to EVERYONE! It was a pleasant and fast cooperation!

Both the purchase of our house, 8 years ago and the recent sale of it, we have been fantastically guided by Arie van Staalduinen and Boi Versluijs.

“We were looking for a new build house in Benissa. That is how we came into contact with Moraira Invest Group. First, an inventory of our requirements was made by a professional employee, then a selection of homes was discussed with us. We made a choice and noticed that the service was very good. We could ask for anything and nothing was too much. That exuded a lot of confidence. Now that our new-build home has been delivered, we can conclude that the confidence was very justified.”

“Very positive experience to sell my house through Moraira Invest group. Very knowledgeable, professional approach and extremely correct in terms of making agreements and implementing them. You can look for that elsewhere in Spain and will have a hard time finding it. No empty promises, agreements and manipulation that things will turn out differently than expected. Especially Boi Versluys is an absolute winner in Real Estate. I have already bought and sold several objects from him and have never been disappointed on any front including attention and keeping to agreements, professionalism and correctness. Moraira Invest but certainly Boi and Arie you can trust and you will not be cheated.

“In April of this year, we came into contact with Arie Van Staalduinen, owner of Moraira Invest, for the purchase of our property in Costa Blanca, Spain. We were warmly welcomed at his office where we immediately walked through a number of options on a large screen. We quickly received several websites where we could find suitable homes. In addition, Arie also came up with several new homes that appeared on the market, so we were the first to be among them. This quickly led to viewings. Within a few weeks, our dream home was already included! During the purchase process, we received a lot of support from Arie’s professional attitude.
Where in Spain the incentive for brokers usually comes from the selling party, Arie has handled this carefully and above all with integrity by advising us on all possible obstacles and the legal aspects in consultation with our lawyer.
We have experienced the contact, the process, and the settlement of this as very pleasant. Especially Arie’s friendly attitude and large network have stayed with us. Whereas a Dutch person you have less insight and knowledge of Spanish purchase and sales processes, you know that you have made a safe choice to work with Moraira investment. We therefore definitely recommended Moraira Invest to buy or sell a property in Spain.”

What a wonderful company.
The feeling was customer-oriented, involved and always available from the start.
We had been interested in buying a property in the immediate vicinity of Moraira for some time. Our budget is somewhat more limited than what is offered in the shop window at the average broker. Even then you are very welcome with them.
Then you have to react quickly when a gem comes along.
Due to the quick action of Moraira Invest (can view the same day) and due to adequate action in the next steps, we are now the proud owner of a great nice apartment in a very nice location a few minutes from the center of Moraira.
Their Motto;
Customer service is one of our unique strengths to make sure our customers feel comfortable by efficiently guiding them through the entire process from start to finish is therefore 100% delivered.
Arie, Boi, and Chelo, THANK YOU HUGE!!!

I would like to thank those Arie and Boi for their help and professionalism in selling our villa in El Portet. The procedure from viewing to sale went through smoothly and efficiently from start to finish. Many estate agents have reputation of sending unsuitable viewings ( and rightly so) but this was certainly not the case with Moraira Invest to which we are truly grateful. A very professional company that we would highly recommend to anyone who wish to sell (or buy) a property in Moraira and its surrounding areas. Once again many thanks Arie and Boi, a pleasure to deal with – as Tina Turner said – Simply the Best.

“I recently sold my villa with Moraira Invest. They took care of every aspect and guided me to ensure a stress-free sale. It cost money, but it meant no bad surprises. They were excellent negotiators as well and helped to get the price I had set myself. Unlike many estate agents which come and go, they are a well-established firm and were at hand afterward as well. I can strongly recommend them.”

“In 2018 we decided to sell our villa in Moraira. Initially we had approached three estate agents who promised us to sell the villa, but to no avail; time and again we had to ask all three of them what the status was and if any potential buyers had come forward. Then we received a tip to approach Moraira Invest Group. We then made an appointment with Arie van Staalduinen of Moraira Invest Group and finally, after a very pleasant intake interview, decided to offer our villa for sale. We can recommend that to everyone! Moraira Invest Group definitely distinguishes itself in many ways compared to the three estate agents we also had experience with, among others. They are very proactive, communicate accurately, clearly and transparently, are extremely flexible and keep you constantly informed during the entire (sales) process. We are very pleased that we chose Moraira Invest Group at the time, which also resulted in our villa being sold by Moraira Invest Group and would like to thank them again for that. Adios!!

Marco Teeuwen, ps. As agreed, I will come to Spain in mid-April, and we will once again toast to the sale.

Last year we made the decision to buy a second home in Spain. After some time searching, we came into contact with Moraira Invest Group (Arie and Boj). Because you have an idea of ​​what you want, but you don’t know where to go in Spain, I’m glad I chose this company. They take their time with you and name the pros and cons of each house you want to see. Behind the scenes, even more, homes are being searched for you, so you can see all the variations. After viewing 42 properties, we bought a super house, which meets all our wishes. More importantly, they are not only looking for a house but also perfectly explain how everything works in Spain in terms of rules, laws, etc. In addition, it does not stop when there is a signature, but you can still ask all questions and wishes. go to them. In short, it is a very good and professional business before and after the purchase. Thanks again Arie and Boi. Mark&Mandy

This was a Grupo Tenza project. We had some extra wishes and that could all be added.
We signed the purchase agreement in May 2019. Arie followed the construction for us and together with Marike den Dulk guided through the entire paper mill. Due to Corona we were able to move into the house in July 2020.

In any case, we are very proud of it.”

“In the middle of the Corona time, the plan arises to initially rent a house in Spain. Through friends we get the number of Arie from Moraira Invest Group. At the first call there was an immediate click. I have no idea what I’m looking for, but Arie sends me a link to the possible homes that are available. Arie takes all the time for us and shows us various homes via a video call. However, I keep coming back to that one house. It is above budget but has an appeal to us. We make a proposal and Arie starts working with it somewhat surprised. “Don’t you want to come and see first?” he suggests. It will be the first real live Buy without Watching episode for Arie and also for us. It’s not until March that I travel to the house for the first time and that immediately feels great. Arie has arranged everything and is always ready to make us feel at home. Partly because of him and certainly not least because of Boi, we now feel completely at home in our Spanish house. Moraira Invest Group, and Arie in particular, is an absolute must for people who dare to put their trust in strangers!”

“After a holiday in Andalusia, we decided it was time for a permanent home in Spain. We had already seen a lot of Spain, but we didn’t really know the Costa Blanca.

Through AzurLiving in the Netherlands, we were brought in contact with Moraira Invest. They made arrangements for us to view houses in Moraira and in Altea.

We went out with Arie van Staalduinen. He not only showed us many houses to determine our wishes and tastes, but also took the time to give us an impression of Moraira and the surrounding area. We immediately felt good about it. He soon brought us to a house that came very close to our ideal house. We made an offer and reached an agreement with the sellers.

A few weeks later we were back in Moraira for the transfer. Arie guided us to the lawyer, the notary and the bank. And to make the almost ideal house the ideal house, we have made a few adjustments, including the construction of a garage. Arie helped us with the Spanish rules and laws that have to be taken into account in such an adjustment. Even when the renovation was not going smoothly, Arie was immediately available to help us.

We can warmly recommend Arie van Staalduinen and his team, and we are very grateful for the professional and personal support of the entire process surrounding the purchase from us wonderful Spanish house.”

34 years lived in this charming city and also holiday resort.
Moraira is a picturesque seaside resort, embedded in the surrounding mountains, which has a particularly favourable climate
It has no high-rise buildings, but beautiful villa neighbourhoods with many beaches and a unique modern marina.
It has an excellent level of facilities in both food and leisure sector and excellent restaurants with a wide variety of cuisines.

“In February 2015 I offered my house in Moraira to Moraira Invest Group to guide the sale. During the discussion, I indicated, “Just make it the candy of the week”. Give it extra attention in the shop window and on the site. We then jointly set a sharp asking price and started the promotion trajectory.
Within 2 months, I received a phone call that someone was interested. Negotiations went smoothly, and the sale was quickly settled.
Then it actually starts … Then you discover what the real estate agent means to you. So many things are different from in the Netherlands and if you do not speak the language it is quite difficult. Moraira invest is very well-informed about the laws and rules in Spain and if you have questions they help you adequately. This knowledge enables them to carry out the entire process smoothly, from the oral agreement to the transfer at the notary, without having to worry about anything.”

“After having lived on the Costa Brava (Begur) for 3 years, we decided at the end of 2017 to move to the warmer south. Through friends, we came into contact with Arie van Staalduinen from “Moraira Invest Group”. They had bought a house a year earlier through Arie and were extremely satisfied.

After visiting many houses during a few days, Arie decided to show us a house that was slightly above budget, but that fully met our preferences. From the moment we walked in, it turned out that Arie had judged our wishes well. We fell in love immediately. Now we had to negotiate because the asking price was above our budget. During this nerve-racking process, Arie worked tirelessly for us and put a lot of time into the whole process. He was always available for all kinds of questions, even if these had nothing to do with the sale of the house. In the end, we managed to negotiate with the previous owner, thanks to Arie’s mediation. We paid a 10% advance for the house and a year later the deed would be signed. This seems a long time, but was a common preference of all parties. It gave the vendor some time to finish his new house, and it gave us some time to save money. Because of this agreement, a considerable part of the asking price was reduced.

In December 2018 the moment arrived. The transfer of our new dream home. Throughout the year, Arie has assisted and advised us on all kinds of things that come to mind when you move to a new place where you don’t know anything and nobody.

In short: we are very satisfied with the service and personal, professional manner in which Arie van Staalduinen and Moraira Invest Group have assisted us throughout the entire process. We will continue to see each other and his wife Francine in the future.

“Our Spanish story:

It is the beginning of June 2017 when we and our friends (we are 3 couples) for the 7th time in 5 years, are in Benissa for the annual holiday or the end of year celebration. Until a few years ago the area was completely unknown to us but under the impetus of friends who have a country residence here, we’ve soon learned to appreciate the region.

“The first asset” and most likely the reason to come here on vacation is the pleasant climate, of course, but there is so much more that attracts us to Moraira, Benissa and Calpe. The “easy going lifestyle”, the casualness, the delicious food, the hospitality of the people, the friendly prices, etc. are just some of the many advantages of the Costa Blanca.

For many, vacation means peace and doing nothing. In our group the ladies enjoy a quiet afternoon in the sun around the pool. Two of the men really don’t like sunbathing and prefer to take a walk. That’s how we stumbled (I will never forget) on Sunday, June 4 during one of the many afternoon walks against a gate with a sign “Se vende”. Nothing unusual because there are hundreds in the area, but this was a nice house in that typical modern Spanish style, on top of the mountain in an oasis of peace. We both thought it was a nice “thing”, or at least nice enough to try to have a better look than from the street. Bruno pushed the gate and yes, it opened. Bruno also noticed that the shutters on the upper floor were completely closed and could therefore decide that the house was more than likely not occupied. We gathered all our courage and stepped inside, so that we could take a look around the whole house and the garden. We could also secretly peep inside and at first glance everything seemed fine, except for a few details (pool needed a makeover, because it was quite desolate, the covered pergola seemed on the small side for such a large house, because in the end we all want to live outdoors as much as possible in Spain, but otherwise there was really nothing insurmountable and the house was in very good condition (was only about 6 years old we would later find out)).

NOT or NEVER intended to buy a house in Spain, but the curiosity was triggered and I wanted to have a look inside the house. I mailed the same 4th of June (Sunday) with the question whether it was possible to visit the house. That same evening I got an answer and yes, two days later on Tuesday we were allowed to visit the house. An appointment was made and so it happened. The three of us (the 3 men) went on that famous Tuesday (June 6th) where we met “Anja” from Moraira Invest Group for the first time. (Later it will become clear that she is the red thread throughout the process). She represented the seller of the house. We then walked around with the three of us and even went to the “catacombs” of the house to check if everything was OK up to and including the foundations. We could not find any defect that was not immediately visible and what we also noticed was the working method of Anja. We got carte blanche and she did not “push” anything, plus she answered all the questions we asked her (the fun ones and the less fun). Sometimes we were told in all honesty “I do not know”, but that did not bother us either. Rather, “I do not know” than a forced lie to spawn us. Her casual approach was one of the reasons that gave us a very comfortable and pleasant feeling after our visit.

After a first (rather long) visit and a barrage of questions to Anja we returned with the promise that we would make a bid. That is how it happened, that same day (June 6th) I made an offer. After two days of negotiating back and forth, there was a “deal”. That was on Thursday 8th of June. That same evening, the sales agreement was concluded and the advance was paid.

And there you are, you have just ACCIDENTALLY AND TOTALLY UNEXPECTEDLY bought a house, you speak several languages, except a word of Spanish and do not know where to start first or last. (In the margins nonetheless mentioning that at the signing that evening there was a misunderstanding about a relatively small amount. It is the CEO of Moraira Invest Group, Mr. Arie Van Staalduinen who intervened and who negotiated in our advantage with the seller. We found out later that we were probably at the wrong end and misunderstood, yet Arie never made a point of it, great class, that man!!).

And then …. Suddenly the most bizarre “stories” of things that happen on the Spanish real estate market are going through your mind making you a bit insecure and allowing doubts to take over. Actually, we knew nothing, we did not know anyone and we were about to make a fairly important purchase. We were already reassured a bit by someone we knew in Belgium, who now works at Belfius Bank and who had worked in Alicante for 10 years at the Santander bank. That gave us the feeling that all those “cowboy stories” that go around will surely have existed in the past but that Spain is now evolving quickly and that everything has become a lot more professional. (And now, 1 year later, I can fully agree).

Since we did not know anyone we could only fall back on one party and that was Moraira Invest Group, the seller. They have arranged everything for us down to the last detail. In Dutch whenever possible, in English where it needed to be for everything else. They arranged for us the lawyer, the notary, etc. The only thing we had to do was follow and sign when necessary. The “full” administrative cost would be a small 12% and indeed, on the bill in September at the lawyer we could determine that the final fee was about 11.5% on the purchase price of the house. And nothing else has come up afterwards. Once again, everything happened as we were told.

There was a rental contract with Belvilla on the house. One of the purchase conditions was that we had to comply with the existing rental contract (which is also logical). Since the house had a high occupancy rate during the summer and the rental fees were substantial, I wanted the sale to be complete before the 31st of June so that all the rental income would accrue to us. And here it goes …

Many Belgian or Dutch people will be astonished while reading the following text.

So on Sunday, June 4 we stumbled upon the house. On Tuesday, June 6 we visited the house and also made a bid. June 8 there was an agreement about the price and on Friday, June 23, that is exactly 15 days later, everything was signed at the notary and the house was our property. You should try that in Belgium or the Netherlands. Good luck !!

And when you think that was it, there was just that little extra. It turned out that the pool was NOT regularized. I reported that this would be a breaking point for me because I did not want a house in warm Spain without a swimming pool. No problem, within a week that would be solved. Knowing our Belgian bureaucracy, I was of course very sceptical BUT, that was beyond the Spaniards. By June 23rd, the day of the signing at the notary, it was effectively legalized. You understand that I already had to review my opinion about Spain. We can learn a lot from this.

There you go, so simple, smooth and easy everything went during the purchase of that house. A child can do the laundry. So far, so good.

And then…. Because we were not there yet.

As I already mentioned, we found the pergola too small in relation to the “size” of the house. So we wanted a larger pergola. Remodelling? Yes, but how and with whom and how do you explain that. A thousand questions, zero answers.

Although Anja’s job had been done for a long time and this did not belong to her task as a saleswoman, we had no other party to rely upon. Again Moraira Invest Group assisted us during the complete project of renovation from A to Z.

During that renovation I had to adjust my opinion or better said my prejudices about Spain a second time. All works were executed perfectly although they did take 2 weeks longer than expected but that did not bother us because quality was more important to us than the speed (after all, it was the winter months). And whether that quality is there! Just look at the photos and everything becomes clear.

During the Christmas period the house was rented to a Belgian V.I.P. That was right in the works and we were promised that the yard would be completely cleaned up before the guests would arrive. If in my whole story one thing has gone wrong, it was that. What I understood under tidying, the Spaniards had understood differently. They had just put all materials / work equipment together in different places until after the holidays, while everything had to be removed.

So you get a phone call from the concierge that all work supplies are lying around in the garden, a day before Christmas, one day before the guests arrived and you are standing at 1850 KM from the house. Once again (as always), Anja ensured that all materials were gone and that everything looked perfect before our minister was due. In retrospect, this was the most stressful moment in our entire Spanish process.

Probably now it becomes much clearer why I wrote before that ANJA was (and still is) the red thread throughout our project. For everything, and literally everything where we had difficulties, Anja and the Moraira Invest Group have been the rock in the surf. We are now a year later and it will not surprise you that we still have very close ties with Anja and her husband Alex. Every time we come to Spain, we have a bite to eat together, so at a nice “dinner” we pick up stories about our experiences and laugh about it.

What once was an abstract real estate agent for us, has now become our comrades. As a company that counts! In terms of service you can hardly score higher, I think.

PS We are now a year further on and we like it more and more here. To the extent that my wife dares to drop sometimes, to settle permanently in Spain and leave Belgium for what it is. Although I am not ready for it today, I certainly do not exclude that possibility. If it ever comes this far then we will certainly build our own place here, completely to our liking and according to our building style. And if it ever comes to that … … we already know who will build that house for us.

Our names and telephone numbers are known at Moraira Invest Group, you can always request them as far as we are concerned.”

“We decided to buy a property in Moraira in 2014. Through the internet we came into contact with Arie and Elisabeth from Moraira Invest, we send our wishes by e-mail and Elisabeth went to work with that wish list. She sent us objects that might meet our criteria. After deleting some of them and adding others to it, we came to a definitive list of properties that we considered worthy of visiting. Then Elisabeth drew up a complete viewing program on the basis of that list, which she mailed us for approval. The mail traffic went very smoothly, on all questions from our side came clarifying answers and everything was mutually discussed. In April 2015, during a planned viewing week, Elisabeth spent four days with us to visit the homes from the list. The program was updated occasionally: Elisabeth added properties and deleted others, judging our reactions to certain already visited properties. So we came closer and closer to what we were looking for. It must have been quite a job for her to arrange all this, but in the end we have found our ideal property. Only a few weeks later, we have made the decision, and we have actually proceeded to purchase it. During those few weeks we kept in touch with Arie and Elisabeth. Additional questions were always promptly answered and crucial information was immediately looked for. Moraira Invest also provided us with advice and assistance during the purchasing process itself. No effort was too much. From our experience, we can only recommend Moraira Invest: they listen very well to the customer, inspire confidence, provide accurate and complete information, speak with great knowledge and work very professionally and accurately. We have also greatly appreciated the friendly and personal approach. We would like to thank Arie and team, and in particular Elisabeth, to have made the purchase of the perfect property possible for us! “
