Default Desperately need help/advice to sell our house in Vilamoura

Hello,
Our 2/3 bed townhouse in Vilamoura has been on the market with remax since feb 2011. We've had little to no interested and have dropped the price vastly to no avail. We are desperate to sell, so would really appreciate any help and advice you guys can offer, especially recommendations on good agents/companies that might be able to help.
Many thanks

I've never found Remax to be a lot of good & in some places, they've proved to be as much use as a chocolate teapot....


Have you also given the sale to other agents in your area or is it just with Remax?

Just remax!
I'm starting to question how good they are. We have been lucky enough to have very good tenants for the past year but they have suddenly decided to move out due to harassment from remax! I have also just tried to find our house on their website to no avail!
We could really do with a personal recommendation for an agent as we can not get to portugal to meet with new agencies!

As I said on other post you must check your contract and clause about cancellation, also Portuguese Estate Agent contracts generally have an automatic renewal clause, very important if you have sole agency which re-Max normally is, to cancel any contract correctly.

If after checking your contract, you find you are able to cancel your contract. I would suggest using casa.sapo to see which agents are active in the area and list with multiple agents. Exclusive contracts do not appear to work in the favour of the client.
