One of the first questions we ask when thinking about buying property in Spain (or any other country) is if it is convenient to use a real estate agency to find the ideal home. With internet and the wide offer we can find both in websites and real estate portals, coupled with tools like Google Maps, do we really need a real estate agency?

3. Here we offer 7 good reasons to
use the services of a company:
1. Save time
2. Increased security
3. Area knowledge
4. Experience
5. Cost
6. Language barriers
7. After Sales Service

4. 1. Save time
A good agency will make a preliminary
selection based on your requirements
and preferences. Without that, it may
take weeks to visit different places and
promotions, and time is money.

5. 2. Area Knowledge
The real estate agency can advise on the best area
to buy and that always depending on your needs
(proximity to services, hospitals, greater peace,
public transport, etc.) With a good agency, you
have the certainty to choose the appropriate area.

6. 3. Increased security
An expert real estate agent is aware of the
legislation and knows personally all projects.
He/she will avoid those developments who might
have any problems either with paperwork or with
poor quality of construction.

7. 4. Experience
A professional with years of experience can advise you
on possible changes or improvements to make to your
future home, give you ideas for decoration or lighting,
and even gardening. Your agent can also get you in
contact with people or companies who are responsible
for the maintenance of your garden, swimming pool,
cleaning, etc. Remember that he or she has advised
many people before you.

8. 5. Cost
To work with an agency does not involve any extra
cost for the client, since the developer or the property
owner always pays the agent’s fees. Prices are the
same whether buying through an agency or not, and
the agent can always negotiate to your advantage
because it sells to multiple buyers and therefore it is in
a better position to negotiate.

9. 6. Language barriers
Although some builders might speak some English,
in many cases is insufficient for fluid
communication and it can generate
misunderstandings. An agency with staff who
speaks your language is essential to avoid
problems.

10. 7. After Sales Service
A real estate agency will monitor for you the
building process until completion and do the
previous check-up before you receive the keys,
making sure everything is in perfect condition,
saving you time and unnecessary travel.
