How It Works

From your first inquiry to holding the keys — we handle every detail so you can focus on choosing your dream home.

1

We present an overview of property types, educate you on areas and lifestyle, and pinpoint exactly what you're looking for. This can be done on the ground in Spain or completely virtually.

2

Property Selection

You'll receive a curated portfolio of options matching your criteria. All you have to do is choose — we handle the rest.

We verify the seller's legal identity, land registry status, debts and encumbrances, building permits, bank guarantees, and the 10-year structural insurance (Seguro Decenal). Your investment is fully protected.

Your Team on the Ground

A dedicated team built on one principle: service, service, service.

Elad Alon - Founder & CEO, Spanish Riviera

Elad Alon

Founder & CEO

Operating on the Costa del Sol since 2016, we've built Spanish Riviera on a simple principle: service, service, service. Everything we do revolves around making your buying experience smooth, transparent, and stress-free.

Our team has closed dozens of transactions — apartments, penthouses, commercial properties, and construction land. Every deal has deepened our understanding of the market, the legal process, and what international buyers actually need.

When you work with Spanish Riviera, you get a team that takes full responsibility on the ground — from finding the right property, through due diligence and legal, all the way to handing you the keys. We bridge the gap between the international mindset and the reality of buying in Spain.

"All you have to do is choose your dream property. We take care of everything else."
Cassie Childers - Sales Executive, Spanish Riviera

Cassie Childers

Sales Executive · USA & International

Cassie was born into real estate. Her family runs Childers Sotheby's International Realty on the Jersey Shore, where she grew up around closings, listings, and the rhythm of the business from a very young age.

She relocated to Spain in 2019 and has spent the years since helping American and international buyers navigate the Costa del Sol — translating the way Spanish real estate actually works into terms buyers from the US, UK, and beyond instantly understand.

For our American clients in particular, Cassie is the bridge: she's lived the move, knows the lifestyle firsthand, and walks every buyer through the decisions that matter — areas, schools, taxes, residency, and what life on the coast really looks like once you're here.

"I've made the move myself. I know exactly what our American clients are weighing — because I weighed it too."
