Steen Koldsø

Working with Steen has been an absolute pleasure. His patience is truly unmatched. He took the time to listen to our wishes, understood our needs, and only showed us properties that genuinely fit our criteria and budget. He was always available, always calm, always professional, and that made the entire process stress free. Thanks to him, we found the perfect place in Torrevieja. If we ever buy in the area again, we won’t think twice: we’ll contact Steen. Along the way, he didn’t just become our real estate agent… he became a friend. Thanks Steen!

I have bought various real estate over the years but never have I experienced a person such as Steen. The level of patience, customer care and dedication is unmatched. Steen is a mature person, so he is not pressing you for a sale. On the contrary he takes times to understand what you are looking for and meticulously provides overview and good dialogue. Steen spends a lot of time and is highly available where he is very good at communicating quickly and efficiently no matter the time. I have never experienced a sales process where the sales agent has added as much value as Steen has done. Steen gets the upmost recommendations from our family. Friendly, good dialogue, patient and very passionate about what he does. Thanks Steen. Been a pleasure. We look forward to enjoying Spain.

We had the great pleasure of working with Steen, and we can honestly say that he went above and beyond what anyone could expect from a real estate agent. He showed extraordinary dedication, spent a great deal of time guiding us, and maintained close contact throughout the entire process until we found the home that was truly “us.” It has been an extremely pleasant and positive experience working with Steen, and we can warmly and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy property in Spain.

Steen was excellent and if Guardamar del Segura was the right place for us I would be delighted to secure one of the apartments that we were shown. Steen was extremely generous with his time and very informative on the area and the properties. Thanks very much Steen.

Steen was really helpful throughout the process of buying our Spanish home. He knew the area well and was also able to recommend a good lawyer to assist us to purchase. Throughout, he stayed in contact and was able to answer all our questions so the process of buying a house for us went smoothly and without problem!

It was a great pleasure for us to work with Steen Koldso. He was with us from the moment of a house selection till the moment we signed a deed. Now we are happy with our new house in Spain!

We had a great experience with Steen. He listened to our requirements and delivered results. He did a wonderful job communicating with his vast knowledge of the region we are interested in; and gave good recommendations. Highly recommend!

I met Steen for two days in March 2023 following my registration on developments.es website and follow-up conversation through zoom. I was looking for an investment property with high potential to generate sufficient income to pay all expenses and mortgage, together with excellent capital growth prospects. I selected a number of developments from the website that attracted my interest. We visited approximately 8 sales offices over the period, ranging from high priced towers on the beachfront to lower priced units inland. My impression of the higher priced units was, although exceptionally high quality and very well located, that they would not generate sufficient rental income to justify the price. Looking at Airbnb listings, it seemed that €2,000 per week was an effective ceiling in the area at peak times, before management and other rental costs. The cheaper units were generally located too far from touristic amenities. There was, in my view, too much uncertainty regarding renting them at all, and certainly the locations would limit capital growth. I saw or heard nothing to disprove my analysis. I learned during my visit that there are essentially four factors driving price increases in this market. First, developments tend to launch well before commencement at a relatively more attractive price, and as units get built prices increase significantly. Second, later phases of a development are priced higher than earlier phases, as there are show units available; apparently this makes them easier to sell. Thirdly, lower priced units tend to sell first leaving more expensive units as the cheapest available (per equivalent unit). The lower priced units tend to be the most attractive to an investor seeking yield. Fourthly, there is a natural market price increase as time passes. I spent some time trying to separate the proportion of these price increases that were caused by natural market increases due to the passage of time from those caused by the stage of development, but was unable to do so. Market data in Spain is very opaque. I found it impossible to ascertain the prior prices of sold units. Salespeople would not reveal that information, and prices for sold units were blanked out on their literature. However it was clear that the best prices were available for early pre-construction phase 1 units, and the more recent the launch date, the better the choice of units available. Armed with this insight I would have picked different developments to visit. The website: The developments.es website is okay, but I would recommend several improvements. The information available is very limited, and totally insufficient to make decisions regarding viewings, let alone purchases. Had I known then what I know now, I would have selected different developments to view. The limit of 20 downloads is not enough, and some of the downloads repeat information, wasting part of the 20. Prices are often out of date, so that by the time of my visit the better value units were sometimes gone, and often the prices on the list had increased. The website might be good for someone looking to conduct superficial analysis, but many of the factors relevant to an investor are not considered. Some pages didn't give a completion date, some didn't state distance from the beach, shopping and restaurant facilities, some made it difficult to distinguish between internal area and terrace area, some weren't clear which units had views and which did not, public transport options were not made clear, community charges usually ignored. Some pages used "private pool", others used "shared pool" to mean the same thing. All in all, the site is mainly an attention grabber, with much of the important information left unknown until the visit. This means the visit is less efficient than it should be, as developments that would have been ruled out in advance are needlessly visited, and vice versa. The agent: Steen is a personable knowledgable agent. We got on very well for the two days. He showed me the Costa Blanca area as well as the developments I had chosen, explaining very well why some areas were developing and others not. I felt the fact that I had chosen the developments we viewed limited the usefulness of my visit. It became clear to me that the investment I was looking for was not among our viewed properties due in part to the limitations of the website detailed above.
