Client testimonials

Thank you very much! It was very educational and informative! Buying in Spain should be prohibited without your seminar 😇 A real primer on Spanish real estate 🙏 Thanks again!

What a thorough seminar!! I found it very interesting to listen to, although I can mostly use hindsight here. I am currently concerned with non-resident income tax, but I am also interested in the topic of inheritance.

I am very satisfied with the work of Merlis and Eve. The entire purchase process was well under control, and concerns were highlighted when necessary so that nothing was delayed. Although the transaction took place several years ago, they are still there and, if necessary, give good advice and share their experiences.
