BUY REAL ESTATE IN SPAIN WITH ME, YOUR LOCAL REALTOR®, WHEREVER YOU ARE LOCATED
Buying a home -whether it is in your own neighborhood or on another continent- is always a big undertaking. It may represent the largest financial transaction of your life, and it will definitely be one of the most complex decisions you will ever make, especially if you are buying abroad and you don’t speak the language.
That’s where I come in:
I am a local English-speaking Buyer’s Agent and REALTOR®, and I am here to help you navigate the Spanish real estate waters with ease.
I will help you find the perfect house for you and your family, your home away from home, or the best profitability investment in the Spanish Basque Country, or elsewhere in Spain.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
As an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR)® REALTOR® -or Buyer’s Agent, I work exclusively for Buyer Clients, helping them in the search and purchase of real estate in Spain, whether they reside in the country or abroad.
Following a first, comprehensive meeting (in person or online) where we discuss their purchasing project in depth (their needs and preferences, desired area and their budget) and I explain my services and fees, we sign an exclusitivity agreement and I get to work to find the perfect property for them.
Let’s get started!
- I prospect the entirety of the market in the desired area, keeping my Clients’ needs and preferences in mind.
- I filter the properties that fit their criteria and I prepare a brief on each one of them.
- I visit the properties with the Clients or on their behalf, depending on what’s needed.
We have found it!
- I verify the property’s legal status and paperwork (Nota Simple, HOA minutes, etc.)
- I work on a bespoke negotiation strategy and negotiate on my clients’ behalf until we have reached the best price possible.
- I check the purchasing contracts: Arras, Title Deeds, and more.
- I accompany my Clients (or go on their behalf) to the Notary to finalize the purchase of the property. We receive the Title Deeds and keys.
After-sales Services
- I provide guidance and support with after-sales paperwork: taxes, registry, utilities, etc.
- I can change the utilities to the new owners’ name, I can register the property with the local authorities (Registro de la Propiedad), I can advise on taxes to be paid and more.
- I also offer Property Management and Concierge services for rental properties (short/long-term or vacation) and second residences.
I offer an array of bespoke services to make your Spanish real estate purchasing experience an easy and hassle-free one.
I’ve got you covered. From A to Z.

OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT IN SPAIN AND APPLY FOR YOUR NIE
To finalize a real estate purchase in Spain as a foreigner, you must have a local identification number (NIE) and an operational bank account in the country.
In order to successfully acquire a property in Spain, you will need a Foreigner’s Identification Number (NIE: “Número de Identificación de Extranjero”) and you will also need to open a bank account in Spain.
Whether you are in Spain or abroad, I can help you get both in a timely manner so that you can close the deal on your new house in Spain without hassle.
