So yes I too am getting a bit sick of the sweeping statements.
I have also seen gringo and local prices on property, but in the last few years this has been happening less and less in the popular areas where the prices have been rising.
For example a 5 bed villa for $40k instead of $20k is still a bargain to most gringos (although it would be pretty remote at that price  ). Whilst someone doubling a $200k property for gringos is not going to find many buyers.

That's exactly why I'm making such a fuss about it Rob, because we don't do it either, but still statements are made constantly lumping all european agents in the same basket.
I heard a lot of good things about you and your company during my visit by the way, Alex and Sabine say "hi", I told them I'd pass it on.
