With many Spanish Estate Agents find the going tough as we head into the spring market, traditionally a high point in property sales expectations, many spanish agents are supplementing their income with managing villa rentals while the sales market flounders.
The Spanish Property MLS has even supplemented its portfolio to include a specialist site for villa […]

AMLASpain, The Spanish Property MLS, has said that its goal for 2008 is to achieve authority status on google for Spanish Property. Having added in the last two months a Spanish Property Forum & Community forum, Video facilities for property marketing, a sub-domain for holiday & villa rentals in Spain AMLA believes it has put all the ‘cards in […]

Social networking is all about bringing people together….Facebook, Myspace
etc have all been valued recently with huge sums being bantered about in the
multi-millions. Just like the purchase of YouTube what is the valuation of these
companies based on. With You tube it was fairly obvious. 100 millions viewers
everyday is a pretty large audience for an advertising company to own….and
whatever you think, thats all Google really is….an advertising company. They
protect their market share with a ruthless disregard for competition even
slapping the hands that feed them…..the website owners, if they dare try to
share in a mythical value,(Pagerank) that Google in its wisdom has bestowed on
them. What is value anyway if it does not act as a medium of exchange…no real
value at all. Its like getting stranded on a desert island. All of a sudden a
man from Google rows buy and chucks a gold bar onto the beach…..Your rich. There
is a snag though. Yea the obvious one…and a month or so later you starve to
death. Ah…but you died a rich man….said the Googleman at your funeral when they
finally found your body and buried you.

I digress. I was making a point about social networking and their value to
businesses that are not multi-mi..billion dollar advertising companies. Well if
you cant beat them…so the saying goes….then create your own…..market that
is.

One site that is attempting something new in Business & Social networking
is amlaspain.com, The Spanish Property MLS

They recently announced the launch of a community forum to attempt to bring
local community services together with the future potential residents looking to
buy property in Spain.
Launch hot on the heels of a video site, a spanish language version and soon to
be launched villa
rental site, AMLA seem to be attempting to create a network of sites similar
to a social network within the framework of a business driven entity…the
Property MLS.

AMLA, The Spanish Property MLS has announced that it has introduced video dispay to its list of services. The company which recently launched AMLACasas, its Spanish language MLS for the domestic market hopes to encourage through its video site and forum  social networking between those people looking to move to Spain with the communities and services that already exist in the ex-pat communities.

AMLASpain which currently holds over 12000 examples of Costa Blanca Property and Costa del Sol Property in its database is beginning to compete in the domestic market as well for keywords like propiedades and pisos

Moraira, originally a small fishing enclave on the Eastern Med coast of Spain has  grown  in stature  over the past five years  and is now one of the most sought after areas for  UK  Buyers of Holiday homes and Investment Property.

One of the reasons that Moraira Property has become so exclusive is due to the planning restrictions in the Moraira Valley allowing properties in Moraira only to be built to a height of 4 storeys maximum. This means that villas for sale in Moraira are predominant over apartments.

The Moraira vally is also a lush of Greenery. An underground supply of water and further planning restrictions over the felling of pines means moraira properties are surrounded by greenery usually only found much further North 

AMLA Spain, who operate the Property MLS to English speaking Agents and
buyers of Spanish Property for the Costa’s of Spain and Islands is set to
launch an all Spanish version of its MLS to the Spanish Domestic market under
the domain AMLAcasas.com .

The AMLA MLS set up only a year ago is already beginning to dominate the search
results for Costa Blanca Property & Costa del sol Property and property in
the Costa Calida, Costa Brava and Costa Tropical aren’t far behind. The
area where it was launched, the Costa Blanca now has results for nearly all the
major resort keywords such as Alicante Property, Javea Property, Calpe Property,
Benidorm, Moraira and Denia to name a few. The Balearic Islands of Mallorca and Menorca also
have good exposure.

With the launch of its new look website at the beginning of October, the MLS
site has achieved Page 1 status for more major keyword search terms than any
other in the market and at half of the cost of its nearest rival advertising
site, is beginning to attract members at an ever-increasing rate, especially at
a time when markets are slow due to the Global worries over mortgage and credit
issues.
The Association has a Code of Practice and says that it is trying to ‘raise the
bar’ on perceived standards in the unregulated industry of Properties for sale
in Spain.
The owners of the MLS come from a US Real Estate background where exams are
needed to hold a licence to sell Real Estate and conflict of interest is much
reduced in the industry by the MLS

The amlacasas site will expand this growth across Spain taking on the major
advertising sites such as Idealista before looking towards the UK market and
the rest of Europe.

So if its Spanish Property you are looking for, or propiedades or casas you need look no further than
AMLASpain.

There is only one place to find Javea Property on the net and thats The Spanish Property MLS . Javea, the med town on Spain’s Eastern coast or Costa Blanca is a lively thriving holiday resort in summer but also has a both a resident ex-pat comminity as well as an older spanish community based in the old town under the shadow of Mont Go the mountain that looks like an elephant!
Great town Javea….check out the listings. Calpe Property listing as well

The Spanish Property MLS provider has this week launched its website aimed at the domestic Spanish market. AMLA Casas  was launched with a database of  over 10,000 ‘ propiedades‘ covering the coastal regions of Spain, the Balearics and Canary Islands.

The quiet launch of the site was indicative of the MLS providers approach to the market.
” We are trying to introduce a new way of doing business in the market” said a spokesperson for  AMLA, “The market is dominated by advertisers at the moment and we have to beat them on exposure before Agents will consider the Multiple Listing Concept”

AMLA, The Association of Multiple Listing Agents aims to bring a US style MLS to the European property markets adding education and ongoing training to its Code of Practice to provide a place for buyers and sellers to do business with confidence in a market that has suffered  in recent months from scandal and property crash fears.

” Confidence is the key to a recovery in the market” ” Prices are, on the whole stable but their is a lack of confidence in the market and to some degree the Real Estate industry as a whole. Sometimes a little order within a profession can give buyers the boost in confidence they need to make the decision to buy.

So for those of our readers who are bi-lingual, look out for propiedades en Moraira or all tpes of Casas when searching Google ES
