After spending almost three months Malta on our third visit there, my wife and I decided to buy a property that we could use for holiday and/or retirement. We contacted Frank Salt Realty, which paired us with Simone Magri as our agent. It was a match made in heaven.
Simone carefully considered our circumstances—we live in the U.S., but I hold an Italian passport; we had a relatively modest budget; we wanted something close to Valletta—and went the extra mile to show us the range of properties available. We saw residences in Floriana, Gżira, Msida and Pietà, and Simone always gave her honest opinion of the value, location and condition.
During the process, she became as much a friend as an agent. She was never pushy, always friendly and professional, and earned our complete trust. When we finally found the place we wanted—a property in Msida that checked all our boxes—she was extremely helpful in assisting us navigate all the ins and outs of the purchase. She connected us with professionals who would facilitate insurance, property management, furnishings, appliances—and even navigate residency.
When you are purchasing a property 6,000 miles (9,600 km) from where you currently live, it’s imperative to have trustworthy people looking out for your interests. Simone is that person.
I would encourage anyone looking to purchase property in Malta to contact Simone Magri. She will treat you right.
