Son Vida is called the Beverly Hills of Mallorca and it is a semi-private urbanization where you have same entrance in and out, 24h security, 3 top golf courses and 2 luxury hotels. Son Vida is surrounded by luxury villas from ranging between 3.5Million to over 150Million euros. Furthermore, Son Vida is set in a premium location, only 5 minutes’ drive from the center of Palma and 15 minutes from Palma Airport which makes the area very attractive and convenient. People who are buying a property or a plot in Son Vida know that it’s a good investment, their money is secure in the asset they purchase and the property value increases yearly.
After finishing my university degree in International Business and Management in Palm Beach, Florida, my visa expired, and I came back to Mallorca. At the time, there was a huge economic crisis (Year 08/09). Being a respected golf professional, the most logical route to take at this time was to teach at the golf course in Son Vida, which helped me build a strong network of high-profile individuals who were looking to invest in real estate in Mallorca. That’s when I decided to set up my own real estate company.
Generally, most people don’t go to the golf course to do business, most are there because they enjoy a game of golf, for some of them it is a way to disconnect from the daily work stress and some just play golf to socialize with other people.
Personally I don’t talk about business with a person I just met on the golf course. I like to get to know them better, then I like to build a relationship, and then you can talk about business opportunities. I would describe playing golf as a resource to meet interesting business people.
There is a wide range of different nationalities, but the majority are European buyers. Some of the many reasons why foreign people invest every year more and more in real estate is because the Balearic Islands are considered the Caribbean of Europe. Mallorca is an island which is very secure, has amazing weather nearly all year round, has great infrastructure, facilities, and commodities to live and to enjoy as your holiday destination.
Sometimes it can be challenging at first if the property doesn’t have the correct paperwork, but this isn’t challenging because the island is full of well-respected lawyers and tax advisors that help with the process.
Lionsgate Capital offers a professional mortgage brokerage service on the island and help foreign buyers with their financing needs and the purchase process. We trust Lionsgate Capital´s expertise to make the financing process easier and to save our clients´ time and money. Their service is an added value we offer our clients once they have chosen a property with us.
