About me
I know this market from every side.
I started out in Mallorca in 1998, first as an estate agent. Later I took on my own building projects, and finally I looked after houses whose owners don't live here all year. Over that time I saw many good purchases. And sadly also a few that would never have happened with a little more knowledge.
That is why I no longer broker property. I explain how the market works here, which questions you should ask and where the usual pitfalls are.
Estate agent
I know which questions get asked at viewings. And which ones almost always go unasked.
Developer
I have built houses myself. I know permits, building costs and timelines on the island from my own experience.
Caretaker
Many problems only show up months after the purchase. I have solved them myself often enough.
Good to know
This is not an estate agency
I no longer sell property. With my online course Mallorca Kaufkompass I give you the knowledge you need to find the right property and buy it safely.
Anyone buying in Mallorca should know the right questions. A missing cadastre entry, an extension without a permit or underestimated additional costs can get very expensive very quickly. That is exactly what the course and my conversations are about.
My experience
What I have done in more than 25 years
Since 1998 I have accompanied buyers and sellers on the island. Along the way I got to know the property market from very different roles. Today you benefit from that knowledge.
Agent and house hunter
I searched for and sold villas, fincas, penthouses and apartments for clients. That taught me what really matters at a viewing.
Construction supervision
I accompanied building projects and checked work on site. I know where timelines and costs tend to get out of hand.
Caretaker and property manager
I managed houses whose owners are only here a few weeks a year. Many defects only become visible at that stage.
Tradesmen service
Over the years I saw which tradesmen work reliably and which don't. I'm happy to pass on that experience.
Developer
I carried out new-build projects in Mallorca myself, from the permit to the handover.
What you can rely on
At home in Santa Ponsa
I have lived on the island for more than 25 years. From Santa Ponsa I know the southwest particularly well, but I advise on property all over Mallorca.
Honest and discreet
I earn nothing from your purchase. That is why I can tell you honestly what I think of a property or a price. What you tell me stays between us.
German, English, Spanish
We can talk in any of these three languages. That also helps when it comes to Spanish documents.
People I trust
Over the years I have worked with many professionals in Mallorca. Some of them I still recommend without hesitation: law firms that also speak German and English, experienced architects and builders, good property managers and service providers for the house.
