0% Buyer Commission – What It Means for You

In many property markets, buyers pay a commission or share it with the seller. This can add a significant cost on top of the purchase price. At Feel-Ing Spain, our model is different: buyers do not pay a separate commission to us. This approach gives you a clear view of your total costs and reduces the risk of unexpected fees.

We believe transparency is essential for international buyers. You should be able to plan your budget based on the real property price and the legal or tax costs required by Spanish law — not on additional brokerage fees. That’s why we focus on clarity, guidance, and a buyer-first approach.

How the 0% Buyer Commission Model Works

Our services are structured so that buyers do not pay an additional commission. Instead, our business model aligns with sellers and developers. This is common in parts of the Spanish market and allows international buyers to avoid extra costs. You still receive full service: property selection, local expertise, and guidance through the purchase.

The main takeaway is simple: the price you negotiate is the price you pay, plus the standard taxes and fees. There is no separate buyer commission added on top. We explain those standard costs clearly in our guide to buying property in Spain.

Comparison: Traditional Buyer Fees vs. 0% Commission

In some markets, buyer commissions can range from 3% to 7% of the purchase price. For a €300,000 property, that can add €9,000 to €21,000 in extra fees. With our model, that additional charge is not applied. This means your budget goes further — toward a better location, higher quality, or future improvements.

Benefits for International Buyers

• Clearer overall cost structure
• More budget available for the property itself
• Transparent, buyer-focused guidance
• Reduced risk of hidden or unexpected fees

What Is Included in Our Service

A zero-commission model does not mean limited service. We provide the same level of support expected from a full-service agency: curated property selection, local market context, coordination with lawyers and notaries, and clear communication throughout the buying journey. Our goal is to protect your interests and help you make confident decisions.

We also help you compare areas, understand timelines, and plan viewings efficiently. If you are new to buying in Spain, our Complete Buying Guide explains the process step by step.

What Costs Still Apply

Even with 0% buyer commission, there are standard costs that every buyer should plan for. These include taxes, notary fees, land registry fees, legal checks, and (if you are financing) bank valuation or administrative costs. These fees are not specific to any one agency — they are part of the Spanish purchase process.

We make these costs transparent from the start so you can budget realistically. Our aim is to give you a clear picture of total purchase costs, not just the listing price.

Transparency and Trust

We work with clear documentation and explain each cost category. Taxes, notary fees, and land registry expenses are standard in Spain, and you should always account for them. By removing the buyer commission, we make the total cost easier to predict. This helps buyers plan with confidence and avoid unpleasant surprises.

Questions to Ask Any Agency

Regardless of who you work with, a transparent agency should answer questions clearly:

• Are there any additional buyer fees beyond the purchase costs?
• How are conflicts of interest managed between buyers and sellers?
• Do you work with independent lawyers for legal checks?
• How do you verify property documentation and debts?
• What support is offered after the purchase (utilities, registration, services)?

Is 0% Commission Always Better?

The right choice depends on your priorities. Many buyers appreciate a straightforward pricing model, especially in an international purchase. That said, the most important factor is the quality of guidance and legal protection. Our focus is to provide strong support regardless of the commission structure, ensuring you make the right decision.

How We Support Your Purchase

We provide end-to-end support: property selection, local market insight, coordination with lawyers and notaries, and clear communication. Our goal is to make the process simple and transparent, especially for buyers who are new to the Spanish market.
