FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions
SELLING A PROPERTY
1- Can I sell my house without a real estate agency?
Yes, of course. But please bear in mind that selling your house can be a lengthy and complex process, with many steps and details to consider. That is why using a real estate agency may be the best option, even if it means paying a commission. Here are the main advantages:
a) Fair valuation and price
Through a professional valuation, they can determine the fairest and most competitive price for your property, which is crucial for a quick and effective sale. It prevents you from setting a price that is too high and the property becoming ‘stuck’ on the market, or a price that is too low and losing money. This alone often pays for the commission.
b) Professional marketing and greater visibility
Real estate agencies have access to marketing tools and platforms that a private individual does not have. This includes:
-Listings on high-traffic national and international real estate portals.
-Professional photos and descriptions of the property, and sometimes even virtual tours or videos.
-Advertising campaigns on social media and email marketing targeted at potential buyers.
All of this ensures much wider exposure for your property, increasing the chances of finding the right buyer more quickly.
c) Customer acquisition and qualification
Do you really want curious people visiting your home? A real estate agency rigorously screens interested parties, showing the property only to people who are truly qualified and have purchasing power, which saves you time and avoids unnecessary visits.
d) Visitor management and negotiation
Dealing with scheduling visits, answering questions and managing offers can be overwhelming. The real estate agency takes on this task, freeing you from worries. In addition, consultants are professionals in negotiation and can get you the best sales conditions without letting emotions influence decisions.
e) Bureaucracy and legal security
Selling a property involves a series of complex legal documents and procedures (property registration, registration certificate, usage licence, energy certificate, deed, rights of first refusal, etc.). The real estate agency supports you throughout the process, ensuring that the documentation is in order, that all legal requirements are met and that the transaction is secure, avoiding future problems. We have partnerships with lawyers and notaries to facilitate this process.
In summary, although there is a commission involved, the benefits of time savings, greater exposure of the property, market knowledge, negotiation experience and legal security that a real estate agency offers make it an investment that, in the end, can pay off and make the sale of your home much smoother and more efficient.

2- How can I find out the fair value of my property?
To determine the fair value of your property, we carry out a free, no-obligation market valuation. We analyse factors such as location, condition of the property, specific characteristics and the sale prices of similar properties in the area.
3- What documents do I need to sell my house?
The essential documents include the Property Registration Book (issued by the Tax Authorities), the Land Registry Certificate (issued by the Land Registry Office), the Use Licence (if applicable), the Energy Certificate and the Technical Data Sheet for the Property (for properties built after 2004). Don't worry, we will help you gather everything!
4- How long does it take, on average, to sell a property?
The time it takes to sell varies greatly and depends on several factors, such as price, location, condition of the property and market demand. However, our goal is to find the right buyer in the shortest possible time, using the best marketing strategies.
BUYING A PROPERTY
1- What are the additional costs when buying a property?
In addition to the purchase price of the property, you will have to factor in costs such as Municipal Property Transfer Tax (IMT), Stamp Duty, deed and registration costs, and possible bank appraisal costs if you take out a mortgage. We detail all these costs for you.
2- Is it better to buy with or without a mortgage?
The decision depends on your financial situation. Buying outright avoids interest and banking bureaucracy. However, a mortgage allows many people to buy a home without having the full amount available. We help you evaluate your options and find the best mortgage for you.
3- How can I find the ideal property for me?
Start by defining your priorities: location, number of bedrooms, budget, type of property. Then you can explore our online listings or, even better, contact us so that one of our consultants can help you find the options that best suit your needs and preferences.
4- What type of property is most profitable to invest in?
Profitability varies with the type of investment. Properties for long-term rental can offer a stable income stream. Properties for short-term rental (local accommodation) can have higher returns, but with greater seasonality and management. Properties for resale (flipping) require careful analysis of their value potential.
5- How much does it cost to have a real estate agency assist me with my purchase?
Absolutely nothing. If a deal is made, the prospective seller will bear this cost. The buyer pays exactly the same amount.
