Property Management Services in San Sebastián and Hondarribia, Spain
You can hire my bespoke property management services if you are a homeowner who needs year-round support with your property’s upkeep (cleaning, gardening, mail collection, parcel reception, works supervision, etc.), or if you need a concierge to manage your short-term or vacation rentals. These services are available in San Sebastián and Hondarribia. Ask me about other cities.
Opening a Bank Account in Spain and/or Applying for your NIE
To buy real estate in Spain as a foreigner, you must comply with two requirements: have a Spanish bank account and have a NIE (Foreigner’s Identification Number). Whether you are currently in Spain or abroad,
I can help you get both.
Legal Services: Golden Visas, immigration and more
I work closely with English-speaking law firms that specialize in real estate, Spanish Golden visas, immigration, and all legal matters related to being a foreigner who wishes to acquire property in Spain, invest, or migrate and settle in the country.

Buyer’s Agent · Property Manager
I am a REALTOR®, and I have chosen to specialize in the Buyers’ market because I love to share in the excitement of house-hunting with my clients, and the rewarding feeling of knowing I played a part in helping them find the right property for them.
I also provide my clients with an array of premium services to guide them and advise them throughout the process: before, during and after they have found the property they wish to buy in Spain.
I speak your language: I speak English and Spanish (and French, too!)
I hold a university degree in English and my entire professional career has been in English-speaking positions. Spanish is my mother tongue, which is why I am perfectly suited to accompany you in your house-buying project in Spain.
What sets me apart is that I don’t just speak the language, I have a cultural advantage, too: I deeply understand the Spanish and local real estate market and its nuances, and I can “translate” them for you to help you comprehend them too, so you can feel more confident undertaking your Spanish real estate ventures.

I am a Local Expert
I have travelled extensively around Spain for work and pleasure and continue to do it to this day. I can’t seem to get enough of this country! I even lived in Barcelona for a few years.
Now, I call the Spanish Basque Country “home”: I spend my days between San Sebastián, Hondarribia, Irún and beyond.
I have fallen in love with this land of blue waters, majestic mountains, the greenest farmlands I’ve ever seen, and the most amazing cuisine in the world. I have made a point of learning as much as possible about the local culture, food and traditions so I can share them with you to give you an insight into the unique Basque identity and everything the region has to offer.
Get in touch to tell me about your house-hunting project or property management needs and let’s get to work!
