Independent property advisory · Málaga Region

Buying property in Spain should feel straightforward.

With Aluma, it is. We are an independent property advisor for the Málaga Region. We guide international buyers through every step of the purchase, from first orientation to key handover and beyond.

Unlike most agents in Spain, our primary focus is the buyer. When we guide you through a purchase, our job is to find the right property for you, not to close a deal quickly. That buyer-first approach is what sets us apart.

Premium adds relocation support, utility setup, gestor introductions and 12 months of aftercare. Most buyers choose Premium because the settlement support more than pays for itself.

All fees are quoted exclusive of IVA (21% Spanish VAT). IVA applies to clients based in Spain and EU member states. Fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.

Our approach

Independent advisor. Always in your corner.

Most agents working in Spain represent the seller. Their focus is the transaction, not the right outcome for you. Aluma is different. We are an independent buyer advisory. Our primary interest is finding the right property for you. We agree our fee with you from the first conversation, we never represent the buyer and the seller in the same transaction, and we will never recommend a property that is not right for you.

We never push

We are not under pressure to close transactions. The right decision, at the right time, is always worth waiting for.

We stay involved

We do not hand you off to a local agent. We remain your point of contact from first call to final key.

We speak your language

Dutch, English and Spanish. Nothing is lost in translation at any stage of the process.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does an independent buyer's agent do in Spain? +

An independent buyer's agent represents the buyer exclusively, not the seller. They search the full market, arrange viewings, negotiate on your behalf and coordinate with lawyers, notaries and banks. Aluma Real Estate operates as an independent buyer's advisor across the Costa del Sol and the Málaga Region.

How much does the advisory service cost? +

Aluma Real Estate offers three fixed-fee advisory packages: Orientation at €1,995, Complete at €3,995 and Premium at €5,495, all excluding IVA. Fees are paid upfront and are fully transparent. In addition, a selling-party commission may be received in certain transactions and is always disclosed in advance.

Does Aluma Real Estate work only with buyers? +

Our primary focus is independent buyer representation. We are also a licensed agent and can assist with selling property in the Málaga Region. A selling-party commission may occasionally be earned and is always disclosed in full to the buyer.

In which areas does Aluma Real Estate operate? +

We operate across the Costa del Sol, the Málaga Region, Costa Tropical (Granada) and Córdoba. Primary focus areas include Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Benalmádena and the city of Málaga.

Do I need to be in Spain to use the service? +

No. We work with international buyers throughout the entire process, including the initial orientation, market briefing and property search, remotely. Viewings are arranged around your availability, and the legal process can be completed remotely via power of attorney. Many clients complete their purchase without ever needing to travel more than once or twice.

Which package is right for me? +

The Orientation Package suits buyers who are in the early stages of exploring the market and want a structured introduction before committing further. The Complete Package is for buyers who are ready to search, select and purchase with full representation. The Premium Package adds mortgage coordination, NIE application support, relocation guidance and priority access to off-market properties.
