Property Search Strategies in Barcelona that Deliver Results

2021 is a great time to buy property in Barcelona

Mark Carr of Spain Advisors outlines the importance of first securing a mortgage, then the steps in the process, and tips on real estate agents and negotiating.
The market moves fast. Most of the best deals are sold before they are advertised.

It's unlikely to find a good deal online because everyone else is there too. We have our own method and work with a network of owners and shoppers to find the best deals first. All we need are your search details and an email address.

What's a Fair Price?


There is no standard or 'market' price for real estate in Barcelona as each neighborhood, bulding and apartment is unique. Sellers simply list for the price they want, and buyers, with no reference, might pay too much. We have methods of evaluating the price, then we negotiate. Our clients, the Fischers bought a flat near this beach and are very happy.

Spain Advisors or the Real Estate Agent

Your first contact is normally with an Agent. They are very nice people.

However, if you put us side to side, you realize:

  • We negotiate for the lowest price.
  • We slow down the process to ensure that each document and contract is correct.
The Real Estate Agent

  • Their Client pays them a 3-6% commission of the seller’s price.
  • They usually move through the buying process quickly.
