Looking for expert help when buying property in Spain?
A Personal Property Shopper (PPS) is exactly what you need.
While most people think of an estate agent when buying a home, there’s a key difference between an estate agent and a Personal Property Shopper. Let me explain:
Estate Agent:
• Works for the seller
• Focuses only on properties they have been instructed to sell
• Motivation: Sell fast and for the highest price (seller’s interests)
Personal Property Shopper (PPS):
• Works for the buyer
• Searches across the entire market, including off-market properties
• Motivation: Find the perfect property at the lowest price (buyer’s interests)
How It Works:
1. We get to know you:
We’ll ask questions about your budget, desired location, lifestyle, future plans, and more—because a home is more than just bricks and mortar.
2. We search for the perfect property:
Once we find it, we perform a technical and legal inspection to ensure everything is in order. This is included in our service fee.
3. Negotiation:
Let’s say the asking price is €210,000. We negotiate the price down to €190,000, saving you money.
4. Secure the deal:
We prepare the “contrato de arras,” binding the deal between buyer and seller while final details are worked out.
5. Final steps:
We help with notary appointments, paperwork, and can assist with financing or subsidies if available.
Example:
• Your budget: €200,000
• Initial fee to PPS: 50% of the 3% fee = €3,000
• Negotiated price: €190,000
• Second half of our fee + 20% of negotiated discount:
– €2,700 (PPS fee)
– €2,000 (negotiation commission for saving €10,000)
Final house price: €194,700 + taxes and notary fees.
