Why buyers
need support

Why buyers
need support

In Spain, most agents work for the seller, not the buyer. When you ask about a property, you’re already speaking to the seller’s agent. Their job is to sell the property on their client’s terms, not to check if the deal is right for you. That’s why many buyers face unpleasant surprises after signing. Independent support means someone is on your side.

About us

We’re Anna and Mila — architects, entrepreneurs, and homeowners who have been through all the challenges of buying property in Spain ourselves. When we met, we were both working in real estate and design — and quickly realized we shared the same view: the market is full of listings, but buyers often lack one simple thing — clear guidance and a human approach. We’ve seen how people get lost in paperwork, trust the wrong agents, and pay for it later. That’s why we created Bon Property — an agency that works only on the buyer’s side. We combine legal precision, architectural thinking, and real-life experience to help people buy homes in Spain with confidence and peace of mind.

Anna Patterson

I’m an architect with an MBA in Business Management and over ten years of experience leading an interior design and renovation studio. Over the years, I’ve worked on projects of different scales and helped clients navigate every stage — from concept to purchase. My background in design, management, and real estate gives me a clear view of how a property should work — legally, technically, and practically. At Bon Property, I focus on property search, client strategy, and overall agency development.

Mila Garts

I’m an architect and engineer with years of experience in property assessment and renovation management across Catalonia. My role is to look beyond appearances — to check the structure, paperwork, and real potential of each home. I help buyers understand the full picture before they decide, so their choice is not only beautiful but also smart and safe. At Bon Property, I’m responsible for architectural due diligence, visual analysis, and coordination of renovation projects.

success stories

  • Laura & Patrick

    Dublin, Ireland

    We asked for help finding an apartment that fit our needs – close to the sea, near a school, but away from the tourist crowds. Instead of getting flooded with random listings, we received about 10 handpicked options, each with clear pros and cons. From there, we chose our top three and got video tours since we couldn’t come in person. In the end, we found a place that was just right for our family.

  • Christopher Miller

    Seattle, USA

    At first, the mortgage process in Spain felt overwhelming – so many papers, translations, and questions from the bank. I was helped to understand each step and introduced to a broker who made it all manageable. In the end, everything went smoothly and I purchased my apartment near the Sagrada Família.

  • Andreas M.

    Berlin, Germany

    I was pretty nervous about buying a place abroad – everything felt new and a bit confusing. The way it was explained step by step made it much easier. Nothing was rushed, I always had time to think, and that took the pressure off. Looking back, the whole thing felt a lot simpler than I expected.

  • Emma S.

    London, UK

    I moved to Barcelona for work and needed a place quickly. I was worried it would take months, but within a week I had a few good options to choose from. Everything was explained clearly, and the paperwork was handled without stress.
