Due Diligence

We make sure you are receiving the highest value for your investment dollar; whether you are buying or selling a property or home, planting vineyards or olives, developing a winery or resort project, building a home, or buying a business.

Priority SCA Services:
· Verification of clear title, irrigation rights, well rights, access rights, access to utilities.
· Financial analysis of a property or business. Due to local business customs it is often difficult to see the real numbers for costs and income, but with our extensive experience we can provide a very close estimate of actual operating costs, and potential revenues, using a standard Income Statement format. We can also provide accurate current values for a rural or vineyard property, home, apartment, or business that are otherwise not available.
· Purchase negotiation and representation: SCA represents you, meaning we negotiate the best possible price for your investment. We understand all the local customs, tactics, and business practices which have enabled us to close hundreds of deals in the past few years; deals that have saved our clients many thousands of dollars/pesos.
· Development and construction costs: We have developed many projects, and have our own team of architects, engineers, and contractors. This means we can give you value prices for your project, and save you significant money on any given job.
