Buyer’s agent · Madrid

Independent buyer’s agents in Madrid, verified by Frankly.

Frankly does not sell homes and does not employ agents. What we do is introduce buyers to a small number of independent, buyer-side agents in Madrid we have met and checked ourselves. The first call is thirty minutes, it is free, and it is in English.

The agency that publishes a listing is engaged by the seller — that is the job, and the good ones do it well. A buyer’s agent is engaged by you instead: they run the viewings, the negotiation and the paperwork from your side of the table.

The agents

One agent today. We would rather introduce one person we can vouch for than publish a directory, so this list grows slowly — and it will always say how many are on it.

Frankly-verified

Brian Mosbeux

Co-founder and relocation advisor at PropXper

Belgian, and in Madrid since 2012.

Brian is an independent buyer’s agent. He runs his own practice; Frankly does not employ him and does not direct his work. We have met him, checked how he works and we make the introduction — that is the whole of the relationship.

In his own description of the role, he is your first call: clarifying what you actually need, laying out the options, and keeping the search and the negotiation strategic rather than reactive.

“No landlords. No sellers. No hidden incentives. You’re the only client we answer to.”

PropXper’s own description of who it works for. Frankly is quoting it, not certifying it.

Figures published by PropXper, not measured by Frankly.

The practice is two people. Brian handles the search and the negotiation; Dulce Guerrero, Mexican and in Madrid since 2018, handles client support.

Strategy and paperwork run over video call, so a search can be underway before you land in Spain.

He works with a small standing circle of specialists rather than an in-house department: an architect for structural due diligence, a real-estate lawyer for non-resident purchases, and a tax specialist for Spanish non-resident tax.

In plain language

What “verified” means here — and what it doesn’t.

Frankly has met every agent on this page and looked at how they work before listing them. What we can state about each one is narrow and checkable: they are independent, they work buyer-side only, and they are not employed by Frankly. We make the introduction and then step out of the way — we are not a party to anything you agree with them.

Something to talk about

Madrid listings asking below their district median.

We track asking prices across Madrid and compare every listing against the median precio por metro cuadrado (price per square metre — the figure Spanish listings are normally compared on) for similar homes in the same district. 1,294 are currently asking below it, and they are a reasonable place to start a first conversation.

Asking below the median is a comparison of asking prices, not a valuation. It means a home is asking less than comparable homes ask — not that it is worth more than it costs, and not that the agency priced it wrong. What it is good for is knowing which questions to ask at the viewing.

Next step

Start with a conversation, not a contract.

Thirty minutes on a video call, before you book a flight: what you are looking for, what it costs in the districts you are considering, and what the process looks like for a buyer coming from abroad — the NIE (the Spanish tax number every foreign buyer needs), the nota simple (the land-registry extract showing who owns a property and what debts sit against it) and the notario (the public official who witnesses and registers the sale). No obligation on either side.

Questions

Do the agents on this page work for Frankly?

No. Each of them runs their own practice. Frankly does not employ them, does not direct their work and does not take instructions on their behalf. We verify the agents we list and make the introduction; everything after that is between you and them.

What does a buyer’s agent actually do?

They work the purchase from your side: shortlisting, arranging and attending viewings, checking the building and the paperwork, negotiating the price, and coordinating the lawyer, the notario (the public official who witnesses and registers the sale) and the bank through to completion. The listing agency does the equivalent work for the seller.

Do I have to use one of these agents to use Frankly?

No. The listings, the verdicts and the district data are free to browse and nothing on the site requires an agent. The introduction exists because most of the buyers who write to us are outside Spain and ask for one.

Can we talk before I come to Madrid?

Yes, and that is the normal case. The first call is a video call, and the strategy and most of the paperwork can be handled remotely, so a search can be well underway before you land.

What language is the call in?

English. Spanish is available too — say which you would prefer in the notes field and it will be arranged.
