Client Testimonials

Carlos was invaluable in helping us navigate the process of buying a home in Spain from the US. He took care of everything from start to finish—from reviewing the deposit contract, to setting up bank accounts and NIEs and even helped us find a lender. He took care of everything so that we didn’t have to make repeated trips overseas and could stay in the US throughout the process until we closed.

Carlos also personally flew down to meet us on closing day to make sure that everything went smoothly. He made sure that everyone we worked with spoke English, and he took the time to explain every step of the process. I just can’t say enough about how generous Carlos has been with his advice. We are incredibly grateful to him for helping make our transition to Spain seamless, and we continue to rely on him for tax advice.
