THE VALUE OF REPRESENTATION

Why work with a property finder

Barcelona’s property market is competitive, fragmented and often difficult to navigate — even if you already live here.

Listings move quickly, prices can vary significantly between streets, and traditional agencies typically represent the seller or landlord. Navigating the market well takes time, local knowledge and a clear strategy.

A property finder works exclusively for you — assessing opportunities objectively, questioning what needs to be questioned and representing your interests throughout the process.

YOUR PROPERTY FINDER

One person, from start to finish

When you work with me, you won’t be passed between agents, account managers or departments. I personally handle and oversee your property search from our first conversation to the moment you receive the keys.

I deliberately work with a limited number of clients at a time. This allows me to understand every search in detail, respond quickly and give each decision the attention it deserves.

When legal, financial or technical expertise is required, I coordinate the right trusted professionals while remaining your central point of contact throughout the process.

I'm Lara Birg — a licensed real estate agent in Barcelona, with particular experience working with international buyers and renters. I've lived in Spain since 2008, so I don't just speak the language — I understand how things work here: the unwritten rules, the local customs, and the way business is done. My clients get honest advice, full transparency, and someone who treats their search as if it were her own.

ON YOUR SIDE

I don't sell properties.

I represent you.

Traditional agents represent the property they are instructed to sell or rent.
My role is different.

I work exclusively for you — searching, assessing, questioning and negotiating from your side of the table.

No conflicting interests. Your objectives come first.

CLIENT EXPERIENCES

What clients say

Real experiences from buyers and renters I’ve represented.

★★★★★

“Professional, efficient and trustworthy — and genuinely a pleasure to work with. After helping us with our rental, we chose Lara again to represent us when buying our home in Barcelona.”

★★★★★

“I had no idea how complex and time-consuming it was to find the ‘right’ place. Lara had the knowledge and professionalism to handle everything from viewings through to handing over keys. She even reviewed my initial contract and had it changed so it was fairer and less one-sided in favour of the landlord. I highly recommend Lara — she made my transition to Spain so much easier.”

★★★★★

“Lara was great to work with. She's proactive and extremely knowledgeable about the local apartment regulations and customs. She was instrumental in helping me get my first apartment in Barcelona. I highly recommend her services.”

★★★★★

“Lara helped me look for and secure viewings for apartments from even before I was in the city. She is quick, helpful and knowledgeable about the Barcelona rental market. We managed to secure an apartment in three weeks. Fully recommend her services to anyone!”

★★★★★

“We couldn't be happier with Lara's help finding our apartment. New landlord laws in Spain had just come into effect, making the search much harder than expected. Even so, Lara never gave up on our requirements or our budget — and in the end we found a place that matched everything we were looking for.”

★★★★★

“Lara found me an amazing apartment, handled a very tough negotiation and took care of everything from beginning to end. All I had to do was come and collect the keys. She's amazing.”

FAQ

A traditional real estate agency represents the seller or landlord — their goal is to close the deal at the highest possible price. A property finder, or personal shopper inmobiliario, represents the buyer or tenant exclusively. I search the entire market on your behalf, negotiate on your terms, and have no financial incentive to push any specific property. My fee is agreed upfront, not tied to the price of the property.
You absolutely can search on your own. A property finder is for those who want to save time, access local market knowledge and have an independent professional representing their interests throughout the process. I manage the search, filter opportunities, coordinate viewings and help you assess and negotiate the right property.
I represent you — the buyer or tenant. I do not represent the seller or landlord, which allows me to assess opportunities and negotiate with your objectives as the priority.
Yes. The entire search can be managed while you are abroad. Suitable properties can be viewed on your behalf, with live video viewings when appropriate, so the search can move forward before you arrive in Barcelona.
My search covers both the open market and opportunities available through my professional network of owners and agents. Off-market availability varies and cannot be guaranteed, but the search is not limited to the properties you can find yourself on the main portals.
For rental searches, I work on a flat fee agreed before we start. My fee is always agreed upfront. Full details on our first call, no surprises.
I work across Barcelona and selected surrounding areas, depending on the type of property, budget and requirements of each search. During the initial consultation, we can determine which locations best fit your priorities.
Yes. I work with both local and international buyers and tenants looking for a home in Barcelona. I also have extensive experience supporting clients relocating to the city or managing their property search from abroad.
Yes. I handle negotiations on your behalf and review the legal terms and documentation throughout the process. For property purchases, I also prepare a market analysis based on the area and property type to help assess the property and support the negotiation. Where more complex legal matters arise, I coordinate with specialised lawyers when needed.
