If you’re looking to buy a property in Nerja, you’ll quickly notice how many real estate agencies promote “30 or 40 years of experience.” But here’s the truth: that’s the company, not the agent you’re actually working with
Most agents come and go. Many are brand new to Nerja and to real estate in general. Since there’s no license or certification needed to become an agent in Spain, there’s a low barrier to entry. That means it’s easy to end up dealing with someone who doesn’t really know the market, the process, or even the legal and tax implications of buying a home here.
Worse, real estate agents don’t actually work for you. Their client is the seller. Their job is to get the property sold, not to help you find the best deal or avoid common pitfalls.

Another thing most buyers don’t realize: many agencies push sellers to sign exclusive agreements. That means you, as a buyer, only get shown a limited slice of the market. Agents often won’t show you other listings, even if they’d be a better fit.
This is exactly why we created Nerja with Sanna. As an independent property shopper, I don’t work for the seller, I work for you. I have access to the entire market: agency listings, private sellers, and even off-market opportunities. My job is to help you find the right place, at the right price, with none of the usual stress or pressure.
If you’re tired of navigating a system that wasn’t built to help buyers, reach out.
