    What is a Personal Shopper in the property sector?

    A property personal shopper, also known as a property advisor, is a professional who specialises in helping and advising property customers who are looking to buy or invest in property. In this case, our future buyers.

    Our personal shoppers know the property market inside out and work hand in hand with you to find the right property for you and your circumstances.

    The services of our personal shopper are particularly suited to a foreign public who are unfamiliar with the buying process in Spain. Therefore, we provide you with the assistance of our lawyer with solid experience in the real estate sector throughout the entire purchasing process.

    What our Real Estate Personal Shopper can do for you

    We’ve already seen all the benefits that hiring a property personal shopper can bring, but what functions can they perform? Here’s a step-by-step guide to what they do:

    2

    Obtaining foreign national number(s) (NIE)

    3

    Opening a bank account

    This is the account into which the money for the transaction will be deposited.

    What is the difference between a personal shopper and an estate agent?

    A personal shopper focuses exclusively on the buyer, defending his or her interests and receiving his or her remuneration exclusively from that client. In addition, they do not have a portfolio of properties; in other words, they analyse all the homes available for sale and cover all the markets in which there are properties.

    On the other hand, the estate agent works in conjunction with the seller and the buyer, as both need to work together to complete a sale. They take care of convincing the property owner to entrust them with the sale of their property, and always have the seller’s benefits and interests in mind, although they have to negotiate with both parties, seeking the approval of both (buyer and seller).
