Testimonials
Hear what some of our recent clients had to say
Very impressed listed with them 2 weeks ago my property has been marketed on over 100 high-ranking property platforms worldwide and translated into 79 languages. Proof of all marketing sent when requested and I have a viewing booked in next month already.

Esales very recently assisted in the marketing and sale of my overseas property. I can wholeheartedly recommend their professional marketing services as from day one they have been thorough. I must extend an extra arm of gratitude to my agent who went over and above to get things done outside working hours. Without his expert knowledge and guidance to set the right price for the market the process would have been harder. I was very pleased at the speed and efficiency of correspondence or calls at the weekend to tell me I had an offer. There was a few hurdles to get things done often but this was no issue for the reputable notary office they put me in touch with. I felt everything was under control at all times. If you are looking for an efficient and professional service to market to global investors look no further. Everything was extremely transparent.
Muhamed Ashid
I highly rate how professionally this company handled the marketing and exposure of my property, also the fact they are contactable by phone or email at any time for updates and help. They are so much more cost-effective than local agents who can easily fob you off and charge extortionate fees. Esales has more coverage in all markets around the world and after many years of trying with local agents, we decided this was the best route to go with. Delighted to have sold inside 8 weeks of listing and we will be listing 4 other overseas properties we own. Very thorough and transparent from start to finish and we sold over asking price for any cynics out there !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review
I have had an excellent experience advertising my properties with eSales and can confidently say they are true professionals in international real estate marketing.
Through eSales, I successfully promote a diverse portfolio of premium properties located directly in front of Ponta Preta Beach, Maio, Cabo Verde, including:
Beachfront and beach-view residential development lots
A model beachfront home
My beachfront restaurant, Martin’s,
A private beachfront mansion, and
My penthouse villa, Villa Martin
The eSales team is highly dedicated, responsive, and genuinely committed to serving their clients. They provide outstanding exposure, consistently generate high-quality, serious leads, and understand how to position unique international properties to the right audience.
What truly sets eSales apart is their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to connect sellers with motivated buyers and investors from around the world. Their platform has been an invaluable tool in expanding interest and visibility for my Cabo Verde properties.
I highly recommend eSales to any property owner or developer looking for reliable service, strong international reach, and real results. — Martin D. Harris Maio Properties | Cabo Verde

My property is advertised with Esales, not sold yet but it is early days. I live in Spain and deal with Gerard who always responds to any questions I have within minutes or at most, a few hours. My property is advertised all over the world so I am confident it will sell eventually, The fundamentals here are what impressed me. Gerard does what he says he will do and very quickly. For an online service that is very important and gives me confidence. Also, if Gerard needs information, he will call me. Speaking to a human being these days is rare but still essential. Thoroughly recommended.

I must say that my first exposure to this company was via an online search on google which happened to be an 'accident'. I normally engage directly with estate agents selling property face to face but after reading all about the company I decided to contact the company within minutes. Initially I was reluctant to respond but I am so glad I did!
Immediately after sending a request to contact me a polite and professional member of staff named Gerard phoned me and explained extensively how his company could meet my needs and requirements for selling my Bulgarian mountain house. I decided to go ahead and pay the one off marketing fee as I knew instantly that this would save me thousands of pounds in estate agent commission in Bulgaria.
Furthermore, Gerard went out of his way to compile and assist me with my marketing profile page and within just 48 hours, as promised, my property was live on 76 portals online, representing 42 countries with a spectrum of potential buyers of 249.1 million. Gerard has been transparent throughout and has advised me regularly regarding the progress of potential buyers. I am so impressed and Gerard advised me this is just part of the service offered by the company. I am very happy with the services offered and would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate in The Gambia
Selling a luxury estate in Brufut, a beachfront lodge in Kotu, or a commercial development plot along the Senegambia Highway requires navigating a unique West African legal and customary framework. While The Gambia—affectionately known as “The Smiling Coast”—enjoys high demand from international expats, eco-tourists, and the diaspora, real estate transactions are strictly bound by localized land tenure distinct from typical Western markets. To ensure a smooth, legally binding equity transfer, vendors must master the difference between leasehold and customary land rights, clear complex dual-track capital gains calculations, and target global cash networks.
1. Navigating Land Tenure Frameworks, Alkalo Papers, and Transfer Deeds
Real estate in The Gambia operates under a dual legal structure that splits property rights into distinct administrative categories, heavily managed by local community authorities:
Leasehold vs. Customary (Freehold) Land: Most premium real estate targeted by international buyers sits on State Leasehold land (typically 99-year terms issued by the Ministry of Lands and Regional Government). Conversely, older or more rural tracts operate under Customary Tenure, which is managed by local village heads known as Alkalolu (singular: Alkalo).
The Alkalo Transfer Document: If a property has not been modernized into a state leasehold registry, the transfer begins with an Alkalo Recognition Letter or “Alkalo Papers” signed by the village head and witnessed by the local Area Council. For a seller, having up-to-date, authenticated Alkalo records and a certified cadastral sketch plan is a non-negotiable prerequisite to marketing your asset legally.
The Assignment and Ministerial Consent: The closing process does not conclude with a private contract signing. The legal transfer of a state leasehold requires a formal Deed of Assignment drafted by a local legal practitioner. Crucially, this assignment remains legally incomplete until it receives formal Ministerial Consent from the Ministry of Lands. Sourcing a buyer who understands that state clearance can take several weeks prevents transaction drop-outs.
2. Navigating the Gambia Revenue Authority (GRA) Tax Matrix
The Gambia treats real estate disposals with high fiscal scrutiny. The Gambia Revenue Authority (GRA) enforces a protective “higher-of” tax baseline at the point of sale to prevent undervaluation:
The Dual-Track Capital Gains Tax (CGT):When disposing of a capital asset (land, buildings, or structural improvements), the tax rate applied depends strictly on whether the seller is an individual or a corporate entity:
Individual Sellers:The tax due is the higher of 15% of the actual net capital gain OR 5% of the gross selling price (consideration).
Corporate Sellers / Partnerships:The liability steps up significantly to the higher of 25% of the net capital gain OR 10% of the gross selling price.
The Valuation Trap: If an individual sells a villa for D5,000,000 (Gambian Dalasi) but has a net calculated profit of only D200,000, 15% of that profit is D30,000. However, because 5% of the gross sale price is D250,000, the GRA will legally demand the higher D250,000 payment. Realizing your liability is tied to gross value rather than net margins protects your liquidity at the closing table.
Stamp Duty and Local Rates: A flat Stamp Duty is levied on the registration of the Deed of Assignment. Furthermore, closing agents cannot process the transfer without a formal Tax Clearance Certificate. Sellers must present verified receipts showing that annual municipal rates, Area Council ground rents, and localized rental income taxes (8% for residential, 15% for commercial portfolios) are paid completely up to date.
3. Strategy: Tapping Global Diaspora Capital vs. Local Credit Bottlenecks
Traditional brick-and-mortar agencies in Banjul, Serrekunda, or the tourism hubs command high local commission margins, frequently cutting into profits by 5% to 10%. Furthermore, relying entirely on a localized storefront confines your listing to a domestic market heavily limited by strict commercial mortgage rates and localized banking liquidity.
The Reality of Diaspora and Expat Liquidity: The primary buying engine for premium Gambian properties consists of successful Gambian diaspora members residing across the United Kingdom, Western Europe, and North America, alongside European retirees seeking eco-villas. These cash-rich buyers are positioned to execute foreign-currency transfers and complete deals quickly without requiring domestic financing.
The Borderless Platform Advantage: Listing a property through hyper-local channels misses the international liquidity wave entirely. Conversely, deploying a specialized global property marketing platform projects your Gambian asset across hundreds of top international real estate networks in over 70 languages. This connects your listing directly with a vetted database of more than 30,000 active international investors. This cross-border strategy drives secure cash offers, ensures funds comply seamlessly with central bank compliance protocols, and allows you to bypass the steep commission premiums of traditional, isolated regional agents.
