Malaga Property Finder

Buying property in Spain:

A profitable and secure decision

Real estate agent specialised in property purchases in Spain

Hi, I am Louise Brace. A property finder and short-term rental investment expert. I found my happy place here in Andalucía over 20 years ago and now I make it my mission to help clients find their perfect location and property in Spain. 

I have such a passion for helping my clients find the best property out there and to negotiate the best possible deal. 

Call it an obsession: I don’t stop until I get that fit between property and client exactly right. It’s a time consuming process, but an extremely rewarding one and I love what I do.

Your trusted property finder in Spain

My property finder service is designed to help you make informed decisions on purchasing a property in Spain. I am not a real estate agent. I only work with buyers and give impartial, independent advice. 

I am on hand pre-visit, during visit, through the negotiation process and post-sale. I work with families and couples who want to make Spain their home, individuals looking to invest in a vacation rental, and investment groups who need eyes and ears on the ground to seek out the best investment opportunities.
