The Challenge

RS & AS, a retired American couple, wanted to invest in a coastal property in Spain that would also qualify them for the Spanish Golden Visa. They faced three core challenges: navigating Spanish real estate regulations from a different time zone and language; securing a Spanish mortgage as non-residents with no Spanish credit history; and obtaining the Golden Visa within a tight timeline.

How We Solved It

From the first call we acted as their full representation in Spain — coordinating the entire purchase remotely, with carefully scheduled in-person visits during their two trips. Our role included direct introduction to our trusted mortgage partners specialized in non-resident American buyers, pre-qualifying the property and seller for full Golden Visa eligibility, legal due diligence on the new-build development, negotiation with the developer, NIE processing, banking setup, notary coordination, and post-purchase services such as security system installation, water softener setup and utility activation.

From offer to keys

This is a completely unsolicited review. I came across Óscar by chance on YouTube. After a few telephone calls, we decided to go to Spain and look at the properties he had to offer. Óscar made the whole process very easy and smooth. The service has been beyond compare. Since we live in the US and we’re not familiar with the local Spanish rules, regulations, and language, he has handled everything — from arranging the security system installation to opening a bank account. He also managed to negotiate the price down. I would highly recommend him to overseas buyers.

The Challenge

SS, a young couple holding Mexican and US nationality, wanted to invest in a premium apartment in central Madrid. The challenges were significant: the property was off-market — never listed on any portal; the building’s historic status created urbanistic complications and impacted the bank’s appraisal; the seller was a foreign non-resident, requiring special protections for the deposit; and the apartment required active supervision of the renovation works in progress.

How We Solved It

We managed every layer end-to-end: sourced the off-market opportunity through our private network; conducted exhaustive due diligence on the historic building’s urbanistic status; set up a notarial escrow account to securely hold the deposit given the seller’s non-resident status; connected the buyers with mortgage partners experienced in historic buildings and high-net-worth international clients; resolved the appraisal issue with the bank through documentation review; supervised the final stage of renovation; and post-purchase, coordinated furnishing, security alarm installation and home insurance.

The Opportunity

A luxury seafront villa in Moraira was facing pre-foreclosure proceedings due to a personal mortgage default of €450,000 nominal. The asset itself was clean — no additional charges, ownership clear, market value at that point assessed at €650,000 with a post-renovation potential of €750,000. The original mortgage holder was open to a discounted settlement to avoid the auction process.

The Strategy

Our investor — an individual Dutch national — was searching specifically for distressed real estate opportunities in coastal Spain with strong upside and clean asset structure. We sourced this opportunity through our specialized NPL pipeline and structured the entire operation: from sourcing and creditor negotiation to legal coordination, debt cancellation, renovation oversight and the final ordered sale.
