About PBA Spain

Our service must be able to ‘deal with everyone’. A subtle difference with ‘our services are suitable for everyone’. The first is a humble view, the second a haughty one. The first concerns thinking along and then still being able to realize that unique house, the second is ‘turnover’.

Those who are not careful enough miss the subtleties, the catches and the opportunities. As a buying agent we are the most dedicated extension you could wish for when buying a home in Spain. And in any case the perfect professionals to guide you through the complex Spanish buyer’s journey.

We know what our strength is. We prefer to do things thoroughly and carefully, according to the highest ethical standards. The wishes of our customers form our guiding principle, their dreams are our horizon too.

One with a forward-looking view: our extensive market knowledge, our unparalleled list of connections and contacts in this line, for example for the best off-market houses, distinguishes us from other estate agents.

Elles is een vakvrouw die weet wat ze aan het doen is. Wij zijn met haar op pad geweest en voor alsnog zat ons huis wat we zoeken er nog niet bij. Maar ik ben hoopvol gestemd mede door de goede kennis van de markt die Elles heeft.

Met Elles is het een feestje om huizen te gaan kijken in Spanje, wat een energie en doorzettingsvermogen om te vinden wat ik leuk vind en past, na vele huizen te hebben bekeken hebben we een prachtig appartement in Torrevieja gekocht waar Elles alles van A tot Z geregeld heeft ook de nazorg was en is perfect, ik zal je zeker bij andere mensen aanbevelen en bij een eventueel ander huis voor mezelf vraag ik zonder meer Elles om alles te regelen. Hartelijk dank voor alles Elles Groet Gerard

My fiancée and I came to Barcelona in hopes of buying a place of our own. We searched for a personal shopper online to help us with the process when we found Elles. We met with Elles over coffee to talk about our plans and from day 1 we knew we wanted to work with her! Her "no sugar coating" approach to dealing with sellers and making sure things get done should be is what sold us. For the next year, Elles was way more than a personal shopper in that she helped us along every step of the way for moving from a foreign country to Barcelona. Her and her assistant Basil organized countless home visits for us, and even though our process took longer than most clients they were helpful and patient until we found a place we loved. I can't exagurate how useful she was to have because of her experience in real estate, the Spanish market, the Spanish culture of buying and selling, of course speaking the language when we couldn't, and looking out for our best interests as her clients. Elles was incredibly helpful and on top of everything throughout the whole process, including setting up appointments for us to get our NIE numbers, her and Basil accompanying on home visits to recognize any issues, helping us with obtaining a mortgage, communicating with banks, helping to navigate the legal system and arranging appointments with the notary etc. They are still currentlu helping us to ensure our gas, electricity, etc is all set up correctly even weeks after we've moved in to our new home. Elles and Basil's services are extremely valuable for anyone looking to buy property in Spain. They were always a quick message away, they truly care about their clients and treat them like family. They alleviated so much of our stress of moving to a new country by handling so much of the work for us, theres definitely no way we could have done this process without them. Thank you so much Elles & Basil!

Elles was a great help in the journey towards buying our first place in Spain. She did a great job in deciphering the process for us, made sure we understood each step of the way, translating legal documents and providing mental support along the way. She was always available for a call, and very responsive. Making a big decision like this felt way more comfortable with Elles on our side. She has lots of experience, and she is also a wonderful person.

Barcelona, daar wilden we kopen. Voor ons was het best lastig een aankoop makelaar te vinden die werkzaam is in deze stad. We hebben Elles ontmoet via de beurs in Nederland. Vanaf moment 1 was er een klik. Elles heeft ons geholpen bij het helder krijgen wat we nu precies zochten. Zodoende zijn we samen op zoek gegaan naar woningen. Tijdens COVID was het tijdelijk lastig om fysiek mee te gaan naar de bezichtigingen maar met videobellen kwamen we een heel eind. Elles kan goed uitleggen waarom je iets wel of niet moet doen en dat maakt haar mede ervaren en deskundig! De nazorg was erg goed. Verder vinden we Elles een heel fijn mens. Van stijf gedoe houden we niet. Elles is iemand met humor, iets wat je wel kan gebruiken in een spannende tijd zoals een huis kopen!
