Buyers’ Agents, also known as property finders, work exclusively on behalf of property buyers, locating properties that exactly match their specific requirements. In all cases, they e meet clients in advance of the search process, either in person or via a video call, for an in-depth discussion about why they plan to buy in Spain, what they want to find and where. If the client hasn't decided where, a buyers agent will make suggestions that match the buyers criteria and it is often the case that clients buy somewhere they had never heard of until the agent suggested it.
