For many potential buyers, it seems logical: look at a few properties, get a feel for the atmosphere, and then decide. But that's like going to a restaurant without knowing what you like, how much you want to spend, or whether you're on a diet. You might end up with a beautiful dish in front of you — but is it right for you? No idea.
The importance of a proper first conversation
People looking to buy property in Spain often think the real journey starts with their first visit on site. But that’s a misconception. Without a solid first conversation — with the right questions, clear expectations and well-defined conditions — you risk losing time, money, and opportunities.
What a good pre-visit talk gives you
A proper consultation with an expert in Spanish real estate brings clarity about:
- Your total budget (including purchase costs and renovation)
- Your true housing needs and priorities
- Your financing options (loan, personal funds, selling in Belgium?)
- The right regions and property types for your situation
- The difference between what is possible, what is legal, and what is wise
It helps you avoid falling in love with a house that turns out to be unfeasible, illegal, or simply not right for you.
Efficiency and emotion
Buying property in Spain is often an emotional decision — but it has to make sense too.
A well-prepared visit is far more valuable than going in blind.
You’ll only see properties that are truly relevant, with the right context and information.
The experience becomes not only more pleasant, but also more successful.
The collaboration starts before the plane takes off
At SpaansVastgoed.be, we always begin with a thorough preparatory talk — online, by phone or in person. Because a well-prepared buyer… gets better results.
💡 Real estate is not Pinterest
Looking at beautiful photos is fun. But if you start with listings, you miss the point of a smart property purchase:
👉 Is now the right time?
👉 Which region fits your lifestyle or long-term plans?
👉 What’s the smartest tax structure?
👉 Are you buying privately, via a company, or as an investment?
👉 And most of all: why are you buying? (Holiday use, rental income, retirement, emigration?)
These and other questions all belong to… the preliminary conversation.
🔍 Start with a plan, not with a property
Proper preparation saves you time — and thousands of euros.
That’s why our approach is the opposite of what most people expect:
👉 We don’t focus on listings. We focus on what’s right for you.
For those who...
✅ Are seriously considering buying in Spain and want professional guidance
✅ Prefer to prepare well instead of adjusting things later
✅ Choose realism over romanticism
Think first.
Then feel.
Then buy.
