#76 Exposed: The Wild West of Costa del Sol Real Estate and How to Buy Safely
Would you hand over half a million euros to a stranger on the street?
On the Costa del Sol, that’s exactly what many overseas buyers are doing - trusting unqualified, unregulated agents with life-changing amounts of money.
In this episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra and Warner expose why Spain’s property market is sometimes compared to the Wild West - and, more importantly, how to protect yourself if you’re planning to buy.
With Warner’s 16+ years of international real estate experience in Spain, Dubai, and the UK, you’ll hear:
- Why Spain’s market is largely unregulated and what that means for buyers
- The red flags to watch for when choosing an agent
- The difference between opportunistic agents vs. true professionals
- Why working with an area specialist matters
- How to buy safely and avoid costly mistakes in the process
