For golf destinations, particularly those with real estate offerings, such as Camiral Golf & Wellness in Spain, Pirin Golf & Country Club in Bulgaria and Quinta do Lago in Portugal, the possibilities and opportunities AR and VR can offer are becoming an irrefutable reality. The decreasing age of property owners buying real estate on golf estates is also providing ample reason to invest in AR. Emilie Despois, Head of Marketing at Fine & Country, explained: "AR is something you need to do, because it’s how the next generations will increasingly look for their properties. It is a fantastic tool in both the nature of selling real estate to international audiences and in how it can aid the ease of the transaction process. "For a property that isn’t built yet, you can of course have computer-generated images (CGIs), but giving the buyer an opportunity to be ‘in the building’, from the comfort of their own home, to see and visualise how they will live in it, is priceless. For golf destinations where the majority of their buyers aren’t local, these tools allow prospective clients to gain a good sense of what’s on offer without having to jump on a plane. AR can not only make sure the property is what they want, before visiting the venue but also enable them to save time and money..."

With Labour winning the UK general election by a landslide, what does this mean for the housing market? Nicky Stevenson, MD of Fine & Country, comments: “Buyers and sellers should be assured by today’s results that the property market is likely to remain robust in the coming months. Further buoyancy in the housing market is expected once the political climate settles. “Election periods usually cause a hiatus in market activity, but that has not been the case this time around. While there may be some question marks remaining over taxation, the housing sector has shown resilience. “It is going to be very interesting to see how the new Labour government injects some fresh thinking into the industry, following several years of dramatic ups and downs in house prices and property transactions.” Read more in our latest media coverage >> https://lnkd.in/eYtpDGzX #fineandcountry #ukgeneralelection #propertymarket

Fine & Country Algarve opens a new office in Albufeira, the only international luxury brand in the area. Zoie Hawker, Managing Partner of Fine & Country Algarve says: shared her insights on the motivation behind this expansion: “We have always listed properties in Albufeira as well as we could, but the lack of an office there gave us a disadvantage. We have been looking for a good office location for the last couple of years and finally found it. One of the main drivers in us taking the decision is that none of the luxury real estate brands have offices in Albufeira. It is perceived as the ‘cheap’ mass tourism destination of the Algarve, but in reality, some of the most expensive villas on the coast are located there." The new Albufeira office is an integral part of Fine & Country Algarve’s broader expansion strategy. Hawker explains: “We plan to have five offices in total, with the next one in Lagos, hopefully by 2025, depending on finding the right location and manager. In Albufeira, we have the ideal location and will be moving staff from some of our other offices, as due to the expansion of our team, we needed extra space." Fine & Country Algarve anticipates a significant impact on its business operations and market presence with the addition of the Albufeira office. "We are budgeting for it to represent 10% to 15% growth in our business over the next 12 months," says Hawker. She notes the Albufeira office will function as a satellite of the Almancil office, led by Jorge Alexandre Pereira, Sales & Marketing Director of Fine & Country Algarve, and Almancil Sales Manager Tiago Chaves. This strategic leadership will ensure that the new office operates seamlessly and upholds the high standards of service that clients expect from Fine & Country. As the only international luxury brand in the area, Fine & Country Algarve offers unique advantages to its clients. “Trends in the Albufeira property market are the same as elsewhere along the coast, with the buyer market becoming more international, especially with strong growth from the USA. Our marketing and international events give us the edge,” says Hawker. Looking ahead, Fine & Country Algarve remains “committed to adapting to evolving market conditions through careful recruitment and steady growth”. In this expansion, Fine & Country Algarve conveys a clear message of “strength and comprehensive coverage of the Algarve region”. “With the new Albufeira office, the company is well-positioned to continue offering exceptional service and luxury properties to its discerning clients,” concludes Fine & Country Algarve. #fineandcountry #internationalproperty #estateagency
