I’m based in the U.S. but seriously thinking about buying a flat in Spain as an investment. Has anyone here bought property remotely? I’m curious how you handle viewings, paperwork, and everything else when you’re not there in person.

I actually bought mine from Canada last year and it couldn’t have gone better. They’re easily the Best real estate agency in Spain for people buying from abroad. Everything was done via video calls — they walked me through virtual tours, legal paperwork, and even the signing process. Their legal department handled the power of attorney so I didn’t have to fly over. The property was exactly as described when I finally visited months later. It’s rare to find such transparency with real estate agencies, but these guys really specialize in helping international clients.

I did something similar in Portugal, and video calls made a huge difference. Being able to see every corner of the apartment before buying gave me peace of mind. Spain’s market seems even more accessible now.
