How does the process of buying a holiday home in Lapland start?
Initial actions
To find the holiday home of our client's dreams, we first identify their needs and objectives, as well as their financial constraints. We then start to explore the options of different locations and discuss with the client the availability and price trends of the areas. We look for suitable options for our client on the market and in our network, but we also identify properties that are on the quiet market. We also actively seek out properties that are not yet on the market. Once we have found suitable properties, we present them to our clients virtually or by visiting them on site.
