Welcome to the 15th episode of the second series of the Valencia Property podcast and we are back... yes back after the summer although the Valencia summer lasts well into September and the autumn.

In this episode we introduce our three new businesses that we have been working on over the summer through interviews with Maria, Catherine and Marije. 

We start with Maria and Valencia Remodels which you can find at www.valencia-remodels.com for all of your modernisation needs. Maria talks about her background and why we needed this new website in the VP collection. 

Next it's Catherine and www.steppingstonerentals.com In this we look at why we are starting a new company for medium term rentals, who it might suit and some of the challenges we are finding including an appeal for more properties. You can also read about this in our latest blog post on VP here. 

Finally we chat with Marije all about the new Dutch arm of VP at www.valencia-property.nl Why did we need a specific Dutch website? You can find out all about that and Marije's background in Valencia and real estate there. 

As usual we talked about our blog posts for the month and we had our monthly recommendations. You can find out more about each of them below.

The Digital Nomad Episode (AKA I'm Away)

A bit of a different podcast this month as I am currently homeless as a modernisation goes on at my house so I am one of those famous digital nomads working from anywhere on the laptop. 

As usual we will start the podcast by taking a look at what we have published in the last month and how it might affect you as a buyer of Valencia property and we are also looking at our new Dutch website and one of the services that Marije will be offering within it.

Then we turn to Stepping Stone Rentals where we have a fully functioning website and the ability to book our properties and every week we have more and more properties available for our clients who start moving in this September. We present for you today our corporate press release if those are still a thing and more news about how to navigate the SSR website and blog.

As usual we have our recommendations for the month too. The article of the month has to be the one about the Americans flocking to Valencia as it explains why this tide of people are finding exactly what they are looking for here. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/07/31/the-top-reasons-american-buyers-are-flocking-to-valencia-for-real-estate/

Our recommended video this month is all abut the history of Spain in animated form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPcfZLaMoAo&pp=ygUFU3BhaW4%3D 

and our recommended properties are a few of those that we described as eye candy. 

Sagunto Castle Views https://www.valencia-property.com/sagunto/townhouse-in-shadow-of-the-castle-2077.php

Meliana Mansion https://www.valencia-property.com/valencia-region/meliana-mansion-house-2008.php

See Ya in Silla https://www.valencia-property.com/outside-valencia/see-ya-in-silla-2074.php

Bocairent Boutique Hotel https://www.valencia-property.com/bocairent/great-boutique-hotel-potential-1439.php 

So until next month when we will be more or less back to normal after the summer break it's goodbye for now and of course if you have any questions you can contact us on whatsapp, mail or through our social media channels. and if you are looking to buy your own Valencia property or rent out a Stepping Stone Rental property feel free to contact us and take those first steps.

The latest Valencia Property Podcast talks about the rental crisis in Valencia and gives an update on the situation after our post in October. We also talk about our new project "Stepping Stone Rentals and how this will affect your ability to land in Valencia with security, safety and a place to stay while you look for your long term rental or purchase. We also have an interview with our rental specialist Jessica all about the changes in the rental market over the last twenty years in Valencia and a continuation of our "What's it like to be a realtor in Valencia?" series. 

In terms of what we talk about on the podcast the links below will take you to the referred to articles.  

My favourite article was the one showing our renovations in Valencia and the before and after of them. It's so satisfying to get to the end of a project and show it off so we thought we'd do a few. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/15/renovating-properties-in-valencia/

My favourite video was again James Blick who this month talked about what it was like being a veteran immigrant into Spain. What happens when you get past the honeymoon stage? Is it still worth living in Spain. Take a look at the good the bad and the ugly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnUubH2X3o 

And my favourite property... oof so many to choose from this month as I said in the article about the eclectic or diverse nature of the Valencia Property market but I think my favourite was and is the house overlooking Cullera bay you can see at the link in the show notes. For under 300k you get great views, the seaside, outside space, lots of inside space, light and a feeling of freedom, you even get a lift opening out into your living room directly from the garage. It's superb. https://www.valencia-property.com/cullera/blue-skys-and-sea-views-2052.php

In this episode also known as "What's It Like to Work as an Estate Agent in Valencia?" we look into what we do in the shadows, all of the background work and how we work here at Valencia Property. There is an interview with David and Paul about their working days and also I tell you what it is that I do (Graham here) day to day in running the company (And producing this podcast, blogs, descriptions and more)

Our recommendations for this month are as usual an article, a video and a property.    The article you should read is 112 Reasons to Move to Valencia. Why? Well I took a lot of time writing it some years ago and it was inspired by a friend asking on twitter this week what one thing is good about the place you live. Just one, here's 112 https://valencia-property.com/new/2017/06/10/112-reasons-to-move-to-valencia-the-best-lifestyle-design-for-you/   The video this week is from one of our favourite youtubers, James Blick. James this week put out a video of 12 things he hates about living in Spain. Take a look at the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRablU35bOI   And the property, orange groves and history https://www.valencia-property.com/valencia-region/orange-groves-and-history-2006.php
