How We Work

SpainEasy team meeting to coordinate property search and client support

Buying property in Spain is an exciting adventure… but the market here is fragmented (no central MLS) and chaotic. At SpainEasy, we act as your boots on the ground. We have designed a complete, step-by-step concierge service to help you buy safely, whether remotely or in person without the stress.

Signing the Service Agreement

Hiring Your Exclusive Buyer’s Agent

This is the official start. It establishes our fiduciary duty to work 100% for YOU, not the seller.

Signing is fully digital, secure, and comes with a risk-free guarantee.

Process details:

  • 100% digital signature (fast & secure).

  • Flexible duration (18-month agreement).

  • One-time retainer of €550 (Tax incl.). Note: This amount is 100% credited back at closing.

Your benefits:

  • Risk-Free: The retainer is fully deducted from the success fee.

  • Remote Start: Begin the process from the US.

  • NIE Setup: We start your Tax ID application immediately.

This first step is more than just a contract; it’s the foundation of our partnership. It formalizes our mission to defend your interests exclusively. You sign remotely via electronic signature. From there, our team takes over: creating your file, handling the admin work (NIE, bank account), and launching the property search. You are now officially represented in Spain.

Step 2

Defining Your Criteria

We translate your lifestyle into a search plan

We take the time via video call to understand your American lifestyle needs and match them to the Spanish reality. We don’t just take notes; we build a strategic roadmap.

Process details:

  • In-depth consultation (Video or Phone).

  • Market reality check (Budget vs. Expectations).

  • Targeting specific neighborhoods and investment zones.

  • Creation of a fully customized search brief.

Your benefits:

  • Laser-Focused: We stop you from wasting time on the wrong areas.

  • Access: We prepare to scan the entire market (agencies + off-market).

  • Efficiency: No wasted time on unsuitable properties.

We go beyond just technical criteria — we explore your lifestyle, your true budget, and your deeper desires. Looking for peace and quiet, ocean views, proximity to an International School, or strong Airbnb potential? We ask the right questions to clarify your needs, ensuring we target the right assets from Day 1.

Tailored Property Selection

Finding the needle in the haystack

Since there is no central MLS in Spain, we manually scour the entire market for you.

You receive a curated shortlist of properties that actually match your criteria—no junk listings.

Process details:

  • Manual filtering by your dedicated agent.

  • Checking availability (many online listings are fake/sold).

  • Presentation of a clear, curated shortlist.

Your benefits:

  • Save Time: Stop scrolling through thousands of duplicate listings.

  • Clarity: We tell you the pros and the cons of each home.

  • Shareable: Easily share your favorites with family.

Each selection you receive is the result of real, thoughtful research. We don’t send you a generic automated feed — just a carefully curated shortlist made for you. Every property includes a detailed description, photos, and our honest, professional opinion. You can review everything at your own pace, discuss it with us, and validate the ones you want to see.

Step 4

Scheduling Property Visits

We organize, you relax

Selected your favorites? We contact the listing agents (who often don’t speak English) and organize a logical viewing schedule. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the properties.

Process details:

  • Coordination with Spanish agencies and sellers.

  • Route planning to maximize your time.

  • Logistical support for your trip.

Your benefits:

  • Zero Stress: No chasing agents who don’t answer the phone.

  • Optimized Trip: See more homes in less time.

  • Single Contact: We manage everyone for you.

This step can be a nightmare if you try to do it alone (ghosting agents, language barrier…). We handle everything: contacting agents, setting appointments, confirming times. You receive a clear, personalized itinerary based on your availability — whether you’re flying in or visiting via video.

Our Team Visits for You

Your eyes on the ground

Before you book a flight, we act as your eyes on the ground. We visit properties for you, inspecting, recording, and filtering out the bad ones.

Process details:

  • In-person visit by a SpainEasy agent.

  • detailed video walk-throughs and honest reports.

  • “Smell test” (humidity, noise, neighborhood vibe).

Your benefits:

  • Save Money: Avoid expensive trips for properties that aren’t worth it.

  • Honesty: We aren’t trying to sell the listing; we assess it for you.

  • Efficiency: Huge time savings.

We enter the property and show you the truth: the lack of light, the noisy road, the details listing photos hide. You receive a video with commentary and our unfiltered analysis. If the property isn’t a good fit, we kill it. If it’s a serious candidate, we tell you to book your flight.

Step 6

Visiting with You

You are never alone with the seller

When you come to Spain, we accompany you to every single viewing. We drive, we translate, and we advise you in real-time.

Process details:

  • Planning and organization of your trip.

  • Physical presence by your side during every visit.

  • Real-time translation and negotiation advice.

Your benefits:

  • Protection: We spot the red flags you might miss.

  • Comfort: Your questions are clearly asked and understood.

  • Confidence: You’re never alone facing selling agents.

We visit the property with you. We translate, anticipate, and clarify. You can focus on how you feel inside the home; we take care of the technical questions. After the visits, we debrief calmly to decide the next move.

Legal Expertise (Due Diligence)

The most critical step for Americans

Once you choose a home, our Legal Team takes over. We conduct a forensic investigation to ensure the property is legal and debt-free.

Process details:

  • Title Search: Verifying ownership and land registry.

  • Debt Check: Ensuring no hidden liens or unpaid taxes.

  • Urban Planning: Checking for illegal renovations.

  • Full Translation: All documents explained in English.

Your benefits:

  • Clean Title Guarantee: You will never inherit someone else’s debt.

  • Peace of Mind: We advise you to walk away if it’s not 100% safe.

  • Clarity: No “Lost in translation” moments.

Important: In Spain, the Notary does NOT check everything like a US Title Company would. It’s up to us — and our legal team — to do it for you. We scan the property: debts, fines, permits, inconsistencies… everything is verified in black and white before you pay a cent.

Step 8

Making an Offer

We fight for your wallet

We handle the negotiation aggressively using market data to ensure you pay the fair local price. We then draft the reservation contract.

Process details:

  • Drafting the offer in Spanish and English.

  • Handling the “Señal” (Reservation deposit: €1k-€3k).

  • Drafting the “Arras” (Purchase Agreement) with 10% down payment.

  • Legal support and negotiation handling.

Your benefits:

  • Fair Price: We ensure you pay the local market price.

  • Legal Security: The contract protects your deposit.

  • Transparency: Everything is translated.

We help you make the best possible offer, at the right time. You reserve the property with a small deposit (“señal”), then sign a binding sales agreement (“arras”) that protects your interests. Everything is reviewed by our legal team. You sign with full confidence — never blindly.

Closing Day

Keys in hand, champagne ready

The final step. We accompany you to the Notary Public to sign the Deed of Sale. Can’t be there? We can sign for you via Power of Attorney (POA).

Process details:

  • Coordination of the closing date.

  • Signing possible on-site or remotely (POA).

  • Final translation of the Deed.

  • Official handover of keys.

Your benefits:

  • Full Support: We sit next to you and translate every word.

  • Remote Option: Buy from your living room in the US.

  • Celebration: You are officially a homeowner!

Our team prepares the notary appointment and personally accompanies you. You understand every document, every word, every clause. And in the end? You receive your keys. You’re officially a homeowner in Spain.

Step 10

The “Soft Landing”

Utilities & Setup

Now you own it, we help you run it. We switch Water, Electricity, and Internet contracts into your name and help set up your bank payments.

Process details:

  • Opening your Spanish bank account.

  • Transferring water, electricity, and gas contracts.

  • Connecting you with trusted contractors/internet providers.

  • Post-purchase administrative support.

Your benefits:

  • Turnkey Solution: Walk into a fully functioning home.

  • One Contact: We deal with the utility companies for you.

  • Stress-Free Move-In.

We take care of all the essential steps so the lights are on when you arrive. But over the years, we’ve also developed additional services for those who want to go further — help with tax declarations, renovations, or recommendations for trusted partners.
