About Denise

How I ended up in this role

I grew up in Mijdrecht and in America, and after my time in America I went to live and work in Amsterdam. There I was a manager and a sommelier. I had always wanted to become an estate agent, but I lived on my own in Amsterdam and could not afford to study without an income.

One day a friend took me to Moraira, and I fell in love with this area on the spot. He introduced me to my predecessor, and shortly afterwards I had a conversation with Marc in the Netherlands. Everything fell into place. Marc trained me, and at last I could do what I had always wanted, and on the most beautiful little patch of earth at that. By now I have my diploma and five years of experience.

What I value about this work is that I get to make people's dreams come true and guide them through it well. Every day is different, and we work with the nicest and kindest clients, often sharing a lot of emotion along the way. This work makes me very happy.

Outside work I love sport and walking with my two French bulldogs. Beyond that I fully enjoy Mediterranean life: sun, sea, beach and good food and drink.

My region

Moraira, Benissa and Costa Blanca North

I live in Benissa Costa and know the region inside out, in daily life just as well as on the property market.

Off-market listings reach me mainly through networks. Over the years I have built a network that often lets me hear early what is going on, before anything is officially up for sale.

For me this region is the most beautiful part of Spain. There is no industry, plenty of greenery, and its own microclimate with almost always good weather.

Way of working

How we work

The standard Costa Select approach, the same for every client and every consultant. From the first introduction to well beyond the handover of the keys, we follow these five fixed phases.

  1. 01 / 05

    Introduction & strategy

    Your goals, regions, budget and use. Together we build a search profile that fits. (2 to 4 weeks)

  2. 02 / 05

    Search & shortlist

    Property portals, off-market listings and our own network. You get a short, carefully chosen shortlist. (4 to 8 weeks)

  3. 03 / 05

    Negotiating

    We negotiate on your behalf: without emotion, but sharply, based on comparable sales. (1 to 3 weeks)

  4. 04 / 05

    Due diligence & legal

    Lawyer, valuation, technical inspection and tax calculation. We coordinate everything. (3 to 6 weeks)

  5. 05 / 05

    Completion & aftercare

    Handover, keys, registration, insurance and aftercare in the first year. (1 to 2 weeks plus aftercare)

What clients say about me

Friendly and helpful

The words that come back most often in my feedback are friendly and helpful. I think that is because I genuinely listen to people and help them with complete honesty through such a big decision.

Making someone's dream come true is, for me, a dream job. Every day I share in my clients' emotions, from the first visit to the moment the keys are handed over.

For me a purchase is only truly successful once you are happy with your new life here.
