Selling a home in Spain can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process. Our Seller’s Guide walks you through every step, helping you move forward with confidence and clarity.
Choosing a professional estate agent is an important first step when selling your property. Unlike in some other countries, in Spain you can choose to work exclusively with one agency or list your property with multiple agencies.
One agent manages your property sale from start to finish, handling marketing, viewings, and communication. Your property is still shared with other agents through our network, ensuring maximum exposure while maintaining a single point of contact.
You can list your property with several agencies at the same time. Each agent works independently to market and show the property, which can result in less focus from each agent and more coordination required from you as the seller.
At Nerja Properties, we recommend working exclusively with us. This allows us to dedicate our full attention to selling your property, work closely with you throughout the process, and provide a friendly, personal service. We guide you every step of the way, from pricing and marketing to viewings, making the process simple, effective, and tailored to your needs.
Before putting your property on the market, it’s important to understand its true value. While many sellers have a price in mind, a professional valuation ensures your property is priced competitively and attracts serious buyers.
At Nerja Properties, we offer a free, no obligation valuation. We work with you to understand your goals, whether that is a quick sale, maximising your return, or a balance of both, and tailor a pricing and marketing strategy to suit your needs.
Before listing your property, it’s important to understand the costs involved in selling. While every sale is different, there are a few key costs to consider:
The exact costs can vary depending on your situation. For example, you might be selling a second home, buying another property with the proceeds, or be of retirement age.
At Nerja Properties, we guide you through these costs and can put you in contact with a trusted local lawyer to clarify your specific circumstances and help plan your sale.
Before your property can sell, it needs to be ready for the market. This includes gathering key information, presenting your property effectively, and marketing it to the right buyers.
Nerja Properties will help ensure your property is professionally presented and reaches the right buyers. We provide practical advice on preparing and staging your home, take professional photos and videos, create floor plans, and manage marketing across major property portals, our website, social media, and email campaigns. Your property also benefits from exposure to our network of existing buyers and collaborating agents, helping it stand out and sell more effectively.
Once your property is prepared and marketed, potential buyers will want to see it in person. Viewings are an essential part of the selling process, as buyers often make decisions based on how the property feels.
Keeping the property clean, tidy, and well maintained is important. Simple steps such as decluttering, removing personal items, opening curtains to maximise light, and arranging furniture to highlight space help buyers visualise themselves living there.
Nerja Properties organises and manages all viewings, accompanying each buyer to present your property in the best possible light. After every visit, we provide detailed feedback and advise on any adjustments that could improve appeal. By handling viewings professionally and securely, we increase the chances of finding the right buyer quickly.
When a buyer is interested, the process moves from offer to completion. This stage involves negotiating terms, signing contracts, and finalising the sale through a notary.
The process usually includes:
Throughout this stage, Nerja Properties is on hand at every step. We coordinate with buyers, lawyers, and the notary, manage documentation, and negotiate on your behalf, ensuring the process runs smoothly and giving you confidence and peace of mind until the sale is complete.
