Frequently asked
An estate agent in Barcelona is appointed by the seller and paid by the seller, so their job is to achieve the vendor's price. A buyer's agent is hired and paid by the buyer, holds no listings, and can present any property on the market. Barcelo Property Invest works exclusively buyer-side, so the recommendation, negotiation and due diligence all point the same way.
Before you start viewing. Most of the value comes from the search brief and from seeing the right properties first, so an advisor engaged at the beginning can filter stock, stop wasted visits and put you in front of pre-market and off-market homes. A typical Barcelona purchase takes 60 to 90 days from search to notary.
The engagement is agreed in writing before any search begins, and the fee is paid by the buyer only. Nothing is received from sellers, developers or agencies, which is what keeps the advice independent. The structure is explained in full at the first consultation, so there is no surprise at signing.
Yes, and many clients do. Every property is visited and reported on in writing before it is recommended, video visits are available, and completion can be signed through a notarised power of attorney. NIE, Spanish bank account, mortgage and notary steps are coordinated with your lawyer.
Yes. Barcelo Property Invest works in English, French and Spanish, and has guided buyers from across Europe, the United States and Latin America through purchases in Barcelona, Sitges and the Maresme.
Our Approach
Invest with Confidence
As your dedicated buyer's agent in Barcelona, we manage the entire acquisition process for you, from the first search to the final signature, with independent guidance and access to the entire relevant market, from publicly marketed homes to selected pre-market and off-market opportunities.
Every acquisition is supported by independent legal, architectural and, where required, tax advice, helping you make informed decisions with complete confidence.
Your Property Acquisition Process
1
Personal Consultation
A private conversation about how you want to live, your budget and your timeline. Together we turn it into a clear search brief built around what truly matters to you.
2
Curated Property Search
We activate the trusted network Myriam has built over many years: agencies, developers, family offices and private owners. You see the best of the public market plus selected pre-market and off-market opportunities.
3
The Barcelo Property Report
We visit every property before recommending it. Your written report covers key details, pros and cons, risks, real cost and a financial analysis, so you can decide with confidence, even from abroad.
4
Property Visits
Private visits at times that suit you, or detailed video visits from abroad. We accompany you and look beyond the presentation: building, light, noise and layout.
5
Offer, Negotiation & Due Diligence
We negotiate the strongest defensible price and terms using market evidence. Our lawyer and architects check title, planning, contracts and technical condition, with tax advice when needed.
6
Smooth Acquisition
We coordinate the deposit contract, NIE, bank account and any mortgage through to the notary, and stay by your side until you receive the keys.
Fees and Scope
How we are paid, and exactly what we cover
Two questions decide whether an adviser is right for you: who pays them, and what they will and will not take on. Both answers are below, in full.
How we are paid
Barcelo Property Invest is paid by the buyer only. There is no listing-side income, no commission from a seller, developer or agency, and no referral fee, so nothing in the recommendation depends on who pays us.
- Agreed before we start
- The engagement and the fee are set out in writing before any search begins, so the cost is known before you commit to anything.
- Quoted at the first consultation
- The fee is confirmed at the free 30-minute consultation and reflects the scope of the search and the acquisition, not a standard markup on a price.
- What it covers
- Search brief, whole-market sourcing including pre-market and off-market, the written Barcelo Property Report on each property, private or video viewings, offer and negotiation, and coordination of legal, technical and notary work to completion.
- Nothing from the seller
- Because the seller pays nothing, a property is recommended on its merits and any home on the market can be presented, not only stock a firm needs to shift.
What we cover, and what we do not
- Budget
- Residential acquisitions from €1M, most often €1M to €3M and above.
- Areas
- Barcelona city, Sitges, the Maresme, Castelldefels, Gavà Mar, Sant Cugat and the Costa Brava.
- Who we act for
- International buyers: a primary home, a second home, a relocation or an investment purchase. Buyer-side only, never the seller.
- Languages
- English, French and Spanish, on every call, report and negotiation.
What we do not do
- We do not sell, list or market property
- We do not represent developers or receive developer incentives
- We do not manage rentals or act as a property manager
- We do not take commercial, hotel or retail investment mandates
If you need a sales mandate, a rental manager or a commercial asset adviser, another firm is the right call. We would rather say so than stretch the brief.

FAQ
We're here to answer all your questions.
Here are some common queries we address to help clarify our services and your journey with us:
In Spain, the answer is no, and this is something most international buyers don't realise until it's too late. The vast majority of real estate agents in Barcelona are mandated by the seller. They hold the listing, they work for the seller, and their commission depends on closing the transaction at the highest possible price. When that same agent offers to "help" you as a buyer, they cannot truly represent your interests, no matter how friendly or professional they appear. Unlike traditional agencies, we hold no listings and represent no sellers. Our only mandate is yours, as a buyer.
A buyer's agent specialized in luxury properties exclusively represents your interests throughout the entire acquisition process. Unlike traditional agents who often work for sellers, we provide unbiased advice, confidential access to off-market villas, beachfront homes, and penthouses in Barcelona, Sitges, and Maresme. Our expertise ensures a tailored search, skilled negotiation on your behalf, and a seamless, secure purchase, giving you complete peace of mind.
Most agencies in Barcelona work for the seller. We work only for you. That single difference changes everything, from the properties you're shown to how hard we negotiate on your behalf. Add multilingual support and genuinely independent advice, and you have a service built entirely around your interests.
Our service is uniquely designed for foreign buyers, offering comprehensive support throughout the buying process; from initial consultation to post-purchase assistance. We overcome language barriers, understand cultural nuances, and provide detailed local market insights. Our multilingual team ensures every interaction is clear and tailored to your preferences.
Our strength lies in our dedication to each client when buying a property in Barcelona. Unlike larger agencies, we prioritize personalized service, ensuring that every aspect of your real estate journey is tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Whether you're searching for exclusive apartments or luxury houses in Barcelona, our focus on building meaningful relationships allows us to deliver the kind of attention and care that larger firms often struggle to provide.
