Find A Property In The Gambia
As we have already said, we are not estate agents. We do, however, provide a property finding service for our development and investor clients
If you wish to take advantage of this service we will use our knowledge of the market place and our contacts to locate properties that meet your specification.
We will charge you for the work that we do. We charge a fee of 3% of the value of the property found, subject to a minimum.
Of course, you are not really paying us for the few letters and telephone calls it takes us to find your property. You are paying for the hundreds of hours we spend each year researching the market and for our 20+ years experience and list of contacts.
