Dutch real estate agent in Valencia
As a Dutch real estate agent in Valencia, I, René Blaauboer from Cabanyal Estate, help buyers from the Netherlands and Belgium find and buy a home in Valencia and the surrounding area. I myself am originally from the Netherlands, live and work in Valencia and am fluent in Dutch, English and Spanish. For many Dutch, the buying process in Spain is new and sometimes confusing. That's why we accompany you step by step, in your own language, so that you can shop in Spain with complete peace of mind. I am a certified real estate agent in Spain and in addition to the mandatory registration and certification, I am also affiliated with the main professional associations of real estate agents in Spain. Therefore, I am a fully recognized real estate agent in Spain.
Why hire a Dutch real estate agent in Valencia?
Buying a home in Spain is different from buying a home in the Netherlands. The rules are different, the documents are different, and often the way of working is also different. That's why it's good to have a Dutch real estate agent in Valencia who:
- Get to know the Spanish buying process, but also understand the Dutch mentality
- Explain everything clearly in Dutch
- help you avoid unnecessary mistakes and risks
- connect you with trusted professionals, such as lawyers and mortgage advisors
- get to know the local market of Valencia and the coastal towns well
At Cabanyal Estate we work daily with international buyers, many of whom come from the Netherlands. We know exactly what questions and concerns Dutch buyers have, and we take the time to do so.
How we help the Dutch shop in Valencia
We accompany you from the first contact to the signing before a notary. Broadly speaking, the process is as follows:
- Presentation and analysis of your wishesWe start with a phone call or a video call in which we analyse your wishes, your budget and your calendar. What type of property are you looking for? An apartment, a house, a newly built house or, on the contrary, something to renovate? In the city of Valencia or do you prefer a coastal town?
- Selection of suitable homes: depending on your wishes, we make a selection of properties in Valencia and its surroundings. You will receive them by email or WhatsApp, with clear explanations and photos.
- Visits (also possible virtually)If you are in Spain, we will plan physical visits. If you are still in the Netherlands, we can also make virtual tours through video calls, with videos and 360º tours. This way, you can get a good idea from a distance.
- Negotiation and booking If you want to buy a property, we will help you negotiate the price and conditions. This is usually followed by a reservation contract and, later, a sales contract. We will explain to you in Dutch what exactly you are signing.
- Lawyer, mortgage and notaryWe collaborate with an experienced lawyer who is used to working with international buyers. For mortgages, we can put you in touch with a mortgage advisor who specialises in foreigners. We accompany you until the transfer before a notary.
- After-sales support and practical issues: After the purchase, we can also advise you on issues such as utilities, insurance and, if desired, rental or property management.
Throughout the process, you will have a single point of contact: a Dutch-speaking real estate agent in Valencia who will quickly answer your questions by phone, WhatsApp or email.
Regions in which we operate
Cabanyal Estate is based in the El Cabanyal neighbourhood of Valencia, close to the beach. From here we work on:
- City of Valencia: among others, El Cabanyal, Betero, Malvarrosa, Ruzafa, Arrancapins, El Carmen, La Saïdia and other neighbourhoods.
- Coastal areas and villages around Valencia: places with good connections (public transport) to the city.
- New construction projects on the coast between Valencia and Alicante, for example in Calpe, Dénia, Benidorm and other popular coastal towns.
Many of our Dutch clients are looking for an apartment or house in Valencia or on the coast, as a second home, as an investment or to move permanently (on a long-term basis). We know the different neighborhoods and price levels and can help you make the right choice.
Purchase costs in Valencia for the Dutch
When buying a property in Valencia, there are several costs to consider. Generally speaking, you can count on:
- Property transfer tax (in the case of homes already built) or VAT (in the case of newly built homes)
- Notary and registry fees
- Possible attorney fees
- Realtor Commission
In Valencia it is common for both the buyer and the seller to pay a commission to the real estate agent. We will clearly explain to you in advance what expenses you can expect, so that you do not run into surprises. During our first conversations, we will be happy to give you an indicative calculation of the expenses for your total budget.
Frequently asked questions
Why should I hire a Dutch real estate agent in Valencia?
Because this way you will receive explanations in your own language about the buying process in Spain, the risks and the costs. You won't have to figure it all out yourself in Spanish and you'll have someone by your side who knows both Dutch and Spanish practice.
Do they also help with mortgages for the Dutch?
Yes. We collaborate with a mortgage advisor specialized in international buyers in Spain. They can help you see what possibilities you have with your income in the Netherlands or Belgium.

We operate throughout the city of Valencia, such as El Cabanyal, Malvarrosa, the centre and other neighbourhoods, as well as in the surrounding coastal towns and villages. In addition, we also advise on the purchase of new construction projects between Valencia and Alicante.
Can I buy a home remotely, without having to constantly travel to Spain?
Yes, it is possible. We can do much of the preparatory work through video calls, virtual visits, and digital documents. Of course, ideally, you'll want to come and see the property in person, but we also have experience with buyers who manage much of the process from the Netherlands.
