Why an independent buyer's agent matters in Spain
Most Spanish listings are controlled by seller-side agencies whose duty is to the vendor, often duplicated at inflated foreign-buyer prices. An independent buyer's agent sources on- and off-market stock, negotiates for you, and screens for legal or structural problems before you commit.
How to verify a buyer's agent in Spain
In Spain a buyer's agent (personal shopper inmobiliario) isn't separately licensed, so judge them on independence: they should work for you under a written mandate and be paid by you, not take a cut from the seller's agency. Many reputable ones belong to AEPSI, the Spanish personal-shopper association.
Typical fees
Typically 1–3% of the price or a fixed fee, buyer-paid.
The mistake to avoid
An 'agent' who only shows you their own or a partner agency's listings. A true buyer's agent holds no inventory and is paid by you.

What does a buyer's agent do in Spain?
They work only for you — sourcing on- and off-market property, arranging viewings, negotiating the price and coordinating the legal checks. A seller's agency, by contrast, owes its duty to the vendor.
How are buyer's agents paid in Spain?
Usually 1–3% of the price or a fixed fee, paid by you. Confirm it's buyer-paid and not a kickback from the seller's side — that's what keeps them independent.
