Buyer Representation
Many people buying in Spain don't realise that listing agents work for the seller, not them. At my place in the sun, we’ve flipped the script. We are completely independent consultants based in Marbella who work exclusively for you, the buyer. We don't 'sell' you anything; we help you navigate the legal complexities, reveal what listing agents won't tell you, and manage everything from price negotiation to furnishing your property to finding you a trusted gardener. We aren't just finding you a property; we’re ensuring your dream investment doesn't become a headache. "We tell you what the listing agents don’t!”

Our Services for Your Dream Property
Needs Analysis & Lifestyle Profiling
The process begins with a deep understanding of your specific requirements. Beyond the property itself, the focus is on your lifestyle and budget, factoring in essential community elements like proximity to schools, sporting facilities, and local shops to ensure the location is a great match.
Financial Transparency & Forecasting
To avoid any "post-commitment shock, we will advise you of the costs you can anticipate incurring. This includes both the initial purchase expenses and recurring long-term commitments such as city taxes and community charges, ensuring you are fully informed before making a commitment.
Market Sourcing & Shortlisting
Leveraging our extensive knowledge of the Costa del Sol market, a "long list" of potential properties is curated. You then review this list and provide feedback to create a refined shortlist of preferred homes that align with your specific criteria.
Guided Viewings & Validation
Each shortlisted property undergoes a final verification against your needs. For viewings, you are picked up at your hotel and provided with escorted in-person tours—including a look at the surrounding neighborhood. We advise all our clients to vist in person, however where this is not possible we can provide "live feed" video tours if you cannot visit the coast in person.
Negotiation & Professional Services
Once a preferred property is chosen, with our help the focus shifts to securing the best possible price through professional negotiation. We can also be connect you with a trusted network of multilingual lawyers and mortgage lenders to handle the legal and financial requirements.

The service continues after the sale, offering everything from furniture packages to property maintenance (gardening, pool care, and key holding). my place in the sun works strictly in your interest, and the service fee is a flat £500 / €575, payable only upon the successful completion of your purchase.
