"We have been working with Esteban Lannoy on the sale of our home for a few months now, and although the deal hasn't closed yet, we want to highlight the great service we are receiving. From the very first moment, he has given us a lot of confidence, professionalism, and clarity throughout the entire process. The organization of viewings, communication with us, follow-up with interested parties, and the way the sale is being managed have been excellent. We greatly appreciate his dedication, seriousness, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing our home is in good hands. We are very satisfied with the treatment we have received so far and without a doubt recommend Esteban to any owner who wants to sell their home with a close, professional, and committed advisor."

most common types
Altea, on the northern Costa Blanca, draws sellers who own premium villas—often with mountain or sea views—and are ready to market to a discerning international buyer base. The typical sale process here is more deliberate than in busier resort towns; buyers tend to be affluent Europeans, particularly from France, Germany, and the Benelux, seeking a permanent or second home in a setting that balances authentic Spanish character with modern comfort. With 24 active listings under Team Picou and an average asking price of €1,725k, Altea’s market is dominated by villas (17 listings), reflecting the town’s reputation for exclusive, hillside properties. Unlike neighbouring coastal towns, Altea’s historic old town and protected skyline mean that new developments are limited, so sellers often offer established homes on generous plots, including four land parcels for custom builds. This scarcity of supply, combined with the town’s distinct mountain-meets-sea geography, creates a market where properties can command a premium, but also require patience and realistic pricing to attract the right buyer.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell with you?
We work on success-fee basis: if we don’t sell, you don’t pay. The commission is agreed in writing before we start and only charged on signing at the notary. No monthly fees and no marketing surcharges.
Do I have to sign an exclusive?
It’s not compulsory, but we recommend it. With a single point of contact we coordinate the strategy, control who visits your home, and avoid your property appearing at different prices on multiple portals — which scares off serious buyers.
How long does it take to sell?
On the Costa Blanca, a well-prepared and correctly priced home sells in 3–6 months on average. If after 60 days qualified viewings haven’t happened, we review price and exposure together — straight talk, no excuses.
What if you don’t sell it?
You pay nothing. We release the listing whenever you decide and hand you a report on everything that was done: viewings, buyer profiles, feedback received and conclusions. That intel is valuable on its own.
What our clients say

★★★★★
Noel is a true professional. We had been searching for an apartment for a long time, sending countless messages on Idealista and often feeling frustrated by the lack of responses and the fear of potential scams. Thankfully, Noel responded to us quickly and efficiently. He demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the process, from arranging the deal with the landlord to showing us the apartment in detail. Being a native English speaker, Noel was a perfect fit for us, as we do not speak Spanish, and his excellent command of Spanish was also a significant advantage. His sense of humor made the whole experience less stressful. We look forward to working with him again when we begin the process of buying a property in Spain.
★★★★★
I regularly work with different real estate agents, and I can confidently say: Noel Picou from RE/MAX is by far the best! His Canadian-French-Spanish background shows in his outstanding communication and strong international understanding. He is always available, provides quick and clear feedback, and remains supportive even after the deal is done. With a lot of initiative, he identifies potential issues early and ensures that everything runs smoothly before questions even arise. A clear recommendation — I can highly recommend Noel without any hesitation!
★★★★★
Recently, my wife and I relocated from Ottawa (Canada) to Benidorm (Spain). Throughout the process, Mr. Noel Picou was exceptionally helpful. He stood out as the only agent who maintained consistent communication with us and treated our needs with the utmost seriousness from the very beginning. Noel is both friendly and highly professional, and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Without a doubt, when it's time for us to find a new home, Noel and Re/Max Inmomas will be our first choice!
★★★★★
For us the experience was excellent, with honesty and transparency to the fore from the very start and throughout the process, given how complex buying a home is. I must express my thanks to Alejandro, our real estate agent, who looked after us with professionalism and warmth right up to the final minute of the purchase. This is our first experience with these matters, but if we had to do it again RE/MAX would undoubtedly be our first choice. I recommend them 100 percent.
★★★★★
Noel Picou took care of us and from the very first moment we've been very satisfied with him and with the agency. Noel got involved from the start; he's been very professional, very thorough and knew the ins and outs of renting a flat. He handled everything and we're very satisfied and pleased with his attentiveness. If we had to do another deal we'd come back to Noel. It's been a pleasure.
★★★★★
I have worked with Remax for sale of property in Finestrat, with agent Noel Picou / Remax. I have found Noel to be very professional in presenting facts, due diligence, and communicating with ease and timely. Over the years I have worked with many agents but Noel is outstanding and would highly recommend his service.
★★★★★
I couldn't be more grateful for Noel's commitment, diligence and professionalism in carrying out the sale of my property. Without a doubt, I recommend him completely.
★★★★★
Working with Noel Picou has been great. Reliability, professionalism, complete trust in an agent. If I had another purchase to make I'd definitely call you, Noel.

“The right price isn’t an opinion: it’s the median of the comparables.”
I value with real comparables: closed sales of similar properties in the same area, adjusted for condition, size and views. That tells you whether what you’re asking (or being asked) is above or below market, and how much real room there is. No over-valuing to win the listing or under-valuing for a quick sale: the honest number.

“A solid valuation gives you power at the negotiating table.”
Knowing what something is truly worth changes the entire conversation. I prepare a valuation with comparables and explain where every figure comes from, so you negotiate with arguments, not feelings. Same if you’re selling: we set the price that attracts serious offers from week one, without leaving money on the table.
