About us

We’ve assisted thousands in finding their perfect home abroad. Allow us to do the same for you!

The initial surge of international property buyers began in the 1960s, and since then, the interest has remained consistent. When you ask these individuals about their preferences, the majority often express a desire for sunny locations, proximity to both beaches and vibrant city centers with affordable, quality dining. Many also emphasize the importance of recreational activities, wanting to be near golf courses, padel courts, marinas, and hiking trails. Shopping and cultural activities remain high on the list of priorities. Additionally, many seek the comfort of familiar communities, often choosing areas with a significant international presence. Security, in terms of both housing quality and the standard they are accustomed to, is paramount. Essential amenities such as proximity to international airports, well-maintained infrastructure, modern technology, and dependable insurance options are highly valued. Ultimately, many view an overseas property as not just a holiday home, but also as a sound investment with potential for capital appreciation

Local offices and knowledgeable representatives

Own a house with a plot or an apartment with a patio or balcony? Private or communal pool? Walking distance to the beach? Practical and well-equipped kitchen, good wifi and air-conditioned bedrooms? SMH Estates representatives know what kind of expatriate accommodation international buyers want. They are used to dealing with specific requirements and wishes. In many cases, they cooperate with property developers who work specifically with the Scandinavian market and know what is required. But they also know the local markets, which ones are considered good and which areas or types of property for sale abroad should be avoided.

Many of our agents’ offices are located around the Mediterranean. Most of our offices are in Spain, but we also have offices in France, Turkey, Croatia, Cyprus, Portugal and Greece. But we also have representatives in the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand, such as the island of Koh Lanta, Koh Samui and Hua Hin, on Koh Lanta which is located in Krabi where there are, among other things, two Swedish schools within walking distance of longbeach, which is the island’s longest beach.

Solid experience

SMH Estate has in most cases been established for a long time in the area, in many cases for over fifteen years. Our representatives have knowledge and experience of both Swedish and local property laws. Regardless of the local real estate laws, our agencies are run in the same way and are subject to the same rules as in Sweden. The legalities of owning and buying a home can differ greatly between countries, and especially from what we are used to in Sweden. This may not be something that all Swedish home buyers think about. As a home buyer, you should always feel confident that our agents know the local law and how the process of buying a home abroad works. We know what costs you should expect and we make sure you are informed when you make your decision.
You can rely on us to be by your side throughout the process, from finding your dream home, to liaising with the bank, to writing and reviewing the contract before signing, and finally moving into your new home abroad.
