Svitlana

Barcelona, Jun 2025

We were looking to rent an apartment, and they helped us find exactly what we needed very quickly. I don’t speak English very well, but they were very patient, respectful, and explained everything clearly. Compared to other agencies, everything was handled much faster and more professionally. The price was also good. I really appreciated their help!

Review of My Spain Real Estate, Jun 2025

To be honest, it is really nice to work with Luis because he is always on top of everything and very attentive. He guided my clients through the whole property process in Spain from viewings and inspections to after the purchase, and he kept helping when anything came up. He replies fast with real answers, not generic, actually investigates, shows up on time to meetings, and knows the local market very well. Price felt fair compared to others, and he communicates smoothly in English and Spanish.

Barcelona, Jan 2026

I used Luis's real estate service around October to look for an apartment in Barcelona. The communication was good - they created a WhatsApp group and there was no issue, but I was not getting too many options and the suggestions took their time. I stopped using the service and also stopped looking because the places offered were not as my expectations. I didn't pay anything since it was commission based and I didn't buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring home inspection in Barcelona.

Are there English-speaking home inspection in Barcelona?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring home inspection in Barcelona?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring home inspection in Barcelona?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Spanish is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
