From first conversation to your home on the Costa del Sol.
Five steps, one point of contact. No pushy sales funnel, just a calm process with clear milestones, expected timelines and deliverables per phase. Below you will find exactly what you get at each step.
Introduction
Selection
Analysis
Purchase
Aftercare
First understand, then search.
It starts with a personal conversation, in person in Marbella or the Netherlands, or via video. We map out your situation clearly: what is the purpose of the purchase, on what timeline, for what use, with what budget and what risk appetite.
Nothing is sales-oriented. No listings shown, no pressure. By the end of this conversation we know whether and how we can work for you, and what you can expect from us.
What you receive
- Profile conversation of approx. 60 minutes
- Written purchase brief as follow-up
- First indication of locations, price segments and timeline
- Transparent explanation of our fee structure
A shortlist, not a search engine.
Based on your brief we compile a personal shortlist of 6 to 12 properties, from our own portfolio and the broader Costa del Sol network. We only present properties we have seen ourselves or specifically requested on your behalf.
Each property comes with a short rationale: why this one for you, what it does or does not solve, and what questions we have already raised with the selling party.
What you receive
- Shortlist of 6-12 properties with motivation per property
- Short video or photo presentation for a live feel
- Pre-selection of 3-5 viewings per visit
- First market data: comps, average selling time, price band
Beyond the pretty photos.
For the properties that make your shortlist, we build a thorough analysis dossier: structural, legal, fiscal and investment. We work with a dedicated pool of structural engineers, notaries, tax specialists and valuers.
This is where we often separate a dream property from a sound purchase. Or we strengthen the negotiating position to the point where the purchase does become justified.
Dossier contents
- Structural report by independent engineer
- Legal check: ownership type, mortgages, restrictions
- Fiscal analysis for your NL/ES situation
- Investment thesis: yield, exit, risk
- Price opinion with comps and negotiation margin
Negotiation, legal, keys.
From the moment you choose a property, we take charge. We negotiate directly with the seller or their representative, in your interest, using market data and structural findings as leverage. At the same time, the legal process runs through an independent Spanish notary.
You only sign what you understand. Every clause is explained in your language, in advance and at handover. We are present at the Escritura, as your purchase partner, not as a seller.
What we arrange
- Negotiation to final agreement
- Drafting of preliminary purchase contract (Arras)
- Assistance with NIE number and Spanish bank account
- Coordination with notary, mortgage provider, valuer
- Present at the Escritura (handover)
The relationship does not end at key handover.
After the purchase we help with interior design, renovation, management and rental, depending on what you need. Many clients buy their first property through us and return years later for a second purchase through the same relationship. That is what we mean by it.
We are also there for practical matters: a leaking tap in July, a change in Spanish law, a request for refurbishment or setting up a rental programme in another season.
What we continue to do
- Interior: introduction to Dutch and Spanish designers
- Renovation: project management for refurbishments
- Management: introduction to property managers, cleaning, security
- Rental: setup or optimisation of seasonal rental
- Market updates: 2x per year for your location & type
Four principles that are non-negotiable.
We would sooner decline an assignment than fall short of our promise of calm, sharpness and independence.

Our four principles
- No sales pressure, ever. A 'no' is a good answer.
- One point of contact, from briefing to long after key handover.
- Independent advice: buyer-side only, never a seller's commission.
- Transparent fee, discussed upfront, no surprises.
