How do estate agents work in Spain?
How do estate agents work in Spain?
by PhilPen » Mon Aug 13, 2018 10:31 am
We have a place in El raso and we are thinking about selling up and buying a larger villa with a bit more land and a pool. Does anyone know, ( I am sure someone does), about how the commission on a sale works in Spain? Is it like back in England where you negotiate a percentage?
Any advice on what to expect would be much appreciated, along with any potential pitfalls!
TIA.
Phil

Before this topic gets going, please everyone just answer the main question and stay friendly. Estate Agent topics tend to bring out those who want to criticise and make negative comments which are unneccesary.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I suggest that you make general enquiries at a local reputable estate agent without commiting yourself

When we sold a property ip the coast the commission was 3% if it was just with them, or 5% if it was with two or more agents..
It worked for us, but ask, ask, ask... remember they are working for YOU...

We have just sold our place and bought a bigger place, it depends on what you are selling for but we looked at many estate agents and a general rule of thumb is 3% or 5000 euros whichever is the greater + Iva of course you might be able to get a deal if you instruct only one!! Remember there are lots of other costs when selling also, good luck.

Speak to Property Shop, Phil and then Property Choice, both have different methods of doing the fees, (Or did) I believe one caps his fees at a set price and the other will charge a percentage. Just do some serious homework about everything involved and as much as possible about who is involved. It can get messy !

I looked last year at selling and then buying another property just down the road for only 15K or so euros more. No mortgage and the costs for everything excluding the 15K for the actual property were around 25K euros so I didn't bother.

Had very good experience with Villa Amarillas in Quesada. Honest, reliable, tell you things as they are so no surprises later on.
But it;s getting worse and worse to sell your house, prices drop because there are simply more and more houses on the market due to the Brexit escape and ALL those new ones coming on the market.
So people who are want to sell desperately go to that Swedish one next to the ayuntamiento but they ask 6% + 21% tva on top of it,…that;s a lot off your money……
Shop around, negotiate and be lucky!!!
