Finding a reliable estate agent in Spain? Pay attention to this.

Do you dream of buying a house in Spain? Then a good estate agent is essential. But how do you know if you are dealing with a reliable estate agent in Spain? The real estate world works differently there than in the Netherlands - and unfortunately many people get stuck because of miscommunication, unclear agreements or hidden defects.

That's why in this blog we give you the most important tips for finding a real estate agent who really puts your interests first.

No central brokerage system

Unlike the Netherlands, there is no central database of properties for sale in Spain. Each real estate agent has his own offer - and often properties are even listed in multiple places online with different prices.

A reliable real estate agent in Spain:

  • Works transparently about the source of supply
  • Has no double agenda or hidden committees
  • Really takes the time to understand your situation

"In Spain, the buyer is himself responsible for proper guidance. So don't just choose the first estate agent you come across."

Pay attention to language and experience

Language barriers often cause misunderstandings. A Dutch real estate agent in Spain offers the advantage that you can discuss everything in your own language - from legal documents to negotiations.

CasawayGo works with Dutch-speaking brokers with local knowledge, so you get the best of both worlds:

  • Understandable explanations and communication
  • Deep knowledge of the Spanish real estate market
  • Network of notaries, lawyers and local specialists

Personalized approach vs. mass approach

Many large parties work with so many clients at once that you become a number. Whereas when buying a house in Spain, trust, attention and clarity are crucial.

A reliable broker:

  • Listens to your needs and asks pointed questions
  • Doesn't walk around pushing, but thinks with you
  • Also dares to dissuade when something is not right

Check this before you engage with a real estate agent

✅ Does the real estate agent have demonstrable experience in Spain?
✅ Is there transparent communication about costs and process?
✅ Will you get one fixed contact person or will you be passed on all the time?
✅ Are there references or real customer stories?
✅ Is there active participation - including follow-up steps such as rental or emigration?
