Purchase guidance
We start the search for your dream home together with you.
A trusted team of experienced brokers, a wide network of professionals and a unique strategy to find the home or investment you actually want. And because our fee is paid by the seller, the service is effectively free for you as a buyer.
Why work with us
The three things that actually matter in a buyer’s broker.
Plenty of agencies will show you homes. Far fewer combine a real local team, the right professional network and a strategy that surfaces the homes you don’t see on portals.
A trusted team of experienced brokers
Our agents live in the markets where they work. Most have ten years or more on the ground in Ibiza, Mallorca, Portugal or Dubai. You always have one dedicated contact, never a call centre.
A wide network of professionals
Lawyers, notaries, tax advisors, architects, surveyors, builders, banks. We bring our shortlist of vetted partners so you don’t have to find and qualify them yourself.
A search strategy that actually finds homes
Most of the best homes never reach the public market. Our off market network and direct relationships with developers give you access to inventory that is invisible to portals.
The process
Six steps from first conversation to the keys.
You always know where you are in the process. One dedicated advisor stays with you from step one to handover.
- 01Discovery
We start the search together with you
A first conversation, in person or online. We map out who you are, what you’re looking for, your timeline and your budget. No template questionnaire, just a real conversation that lets us spot the home you’ll actually love.
- 02Curation
A shortlist that respects your time
We use our network of trusted brokers, owners and developers to surface on market and off market opportunities. You receive a curated shortlist, not an inbox full of listings. Most of what we send was never publicly advertised.
- 03Viewings
On the ground with a local expert
We organise the viewings, drive you between properties, and join every meeting. Honest feedback, real comparables, and an experienced second opinion on construction quality, location and value.
- 04Due diligence
Legal and fiscal coverage end to end
When you’re ready, we coordinate the lawyers, notaries, surveyors and tax advisors. Title checks, urban planning checks, energy certificates, structural surveys: nothing is skipped, nothing is your problem to chase.
- 05Negotiation
A negotiator on your side of the table
We negotiate price, conditions and timing with the seller’s agent. You see every offer in writing before it goes out. The goal is a fair deal that closes, not theatre.
- 06Closing & beyond
From signing to keys, and after
We accompany you through signing at the notary and the handover of keys. After closing, we help with renovations, property management, rental setup or onward investment, whatever your next move is.
Royal Estates didn’t just find us a house. They built a small team of lawyers, notaries and architects around our purchase, and walked us through every step. We would never have managed that on our own from abroad.

Frequently asked
Questions buyers ask us first.
Why is your service free for buyers?
In our markets, brokerage fees are paid by the seller out of the agreed sale price. Whether or not you work with a buyer’s representative, the seller pays the same fee. Bringing us along costs you nothing extra and gives you a dedicated advocate.
Do you only sell your own listings?
No. We work across the entire local market. If the right home for you is listed by another agency or sold privately, we still represent you, negotiate on your behalf and split the fee with the listing side.
How long does a typical search take?
Most of our clients close within two to six months from the first conversation. Some find the right home on the first viewing trip, others take a year. We move at your pace.
Can you help with investment properties too?
Yes. A meaningful share of our clients buy primarily for investment: rental yield, capital growth or as part of a fund. We model returns honestly and walk away from deals that don’t make sense.
Ready when you are
Let’s start the search for your next home, with no cost and no commitment.
A first call to understand what you’re looking for. From there, we either move forward together or we don’t. Simple as that.
