Hi friends! Today I'm sharing about navigating the shopping process of buying a house or property in Spain! When I began looking at the process, I was a bit shocked at how little is regulated, so I'm going to explain what I know and help you as you prepare for your own homeownership journey in Spain.

As a former RE agent who is also buying property in Spain, the switch to the Spanish system is quite a shock! It was interesting to hear you talk about buyer's agents because I don't think they exist up north. I envy your experience with local connections and look forward to getting to that point myself. Thanks!

it always baffles me how real estate agents justify their horrendous charges. taking care of listings, taking photos, handling inquiries? a student could do that. nothing in that work justifies their charges. its basically a job you can do without or very little training.

This is so interesting, I see the same thing in Mexico. People on FB marketplace selling properties acting as "inmobiliarias" when they have no education or formalized training. I see the lack of regulation as a pro and a con, because you may be able to snag up some good deals if you find out who may be the owner of the property and work directly with them avoiding any fishy agents. Then again, its those FB ads that allow me to find the property and neighborhood its located in. One useful thing I have done is using google street view to check out the neighborhood and the exact location as some advertisements are not accurate in their description because of that lack of regulation. Awesome video!

Strange, in US they force owner to sell his own house using agent.
