There are many many estate agents in spain, it all depends where you want to go. If you like the idea of living on the Costa del sol this includes Sotogrande, Marbella, Estapona, Pueto Banus and many more. Or you may wish the counrtyside (campo) ie. Jimena de la frontera, Gaucien etc.
This does all depend of your budget but there are places round here which arnt so expensive.
Do you know which area of Spain you want to move to? A lot of the sites are generalised, or concentrate on the hideously overdeveloped touristy areas.
It’s probably more sensible to look at sites that specialise in the area you are interested in, as they will have local knowledge which can be invaluable. Also you need to consider why you are buying the property; is it for investment, your own use, renting out etc? The sites listed below have some good overviews.
I found thousands of spanish properties from all areas of spain and lots of useful information about spain and buying property at http://www.aplaceabroad.com/
Buying the property is not a problem. Getting a “resident permit” that allows you to live on your property is another issue. In addition – if you are a US citizen, consider the tax implications. You will spend quite a bit of money for tax consultants to handle both, tax payments in Spain and the USA.
