MySpot Barcelona launches myspotbuyers.com, a new home for its buyer’s agent service, along with a YouTube channel for buyers

The boutique estate agency founded by Linda Ferstl brings its established buyer representation service online, with a dedicated website, a free buyer’s guide and YouTube video content

MySpot Barcelona, rooted in Sant Antoni and l’Eixample, has launched myspotbuyers.com, a new website dedicated to its buyer’s agent service. The site gives the service its own home, with clear information on what buyer representation includes, and practical resources for anyone thinking about buying in Barcelona or elsewhere in Catalonia.

A model built around the buyer

In Spain, estate agents usually work for the seller. A buyer’s agent turns that model around and acts solely in the buyer’s interest. Many British buyers will know the role as a “buying agent” or “property finder”.

MySpot Barcelona searches the whole market, including off-market properties. It negotiates price and terms and carries out full due diligence on ownership, debts and technical condition before the client commits. The team also advises on choosing a neighbourhood, mortgages, the NIE, bank accounts and taxes, and stays by the client’s side after signing at the notary for any post-purchase support they might need.

Experience on the buyer’s side

Linda Ferstl is German and has lived in Barcelona since 2011. A property investor herself, she holds an Executive MBA from ESADE and brings more than 15 years of international sales experience. Having bought property in Spain as a foreigner, she knows first-hand the challenges of buying in an unfamiliar market. Wanting to make that experience smoother for others, she went on to certify as a buyer’s agent under the standards of AEPSI, the Spanish Association of Real Estate Personal Shoppers.

For companies and advisers with clients from abroad, MySpot Barcelona is a trusted partner to refer clients to when they’re looking for a home in Barcelona.

“No two clients, properties or negotiations are exactly alike,” says Linda Ferstl. “Buying a home in another country means making big decisions in an unfamiliar setting. With the new website, we want to make our service easier to find for buyers who would value that support, and to give anyone considering a purchase in Catalonia a clearer picture of how the buying process works.”

New: the MySpot Buyers YouTube channel

For anyone considering buying in Spain, or already in the middle of the process, MySpot Barcelona has also launched a YouTube channel. Its short, practical videos cover the questions international buyers ask most: how the process works, common pitfalls, and what to check before committing.
