In the luxury segment, the buyer has no advocate.
Engel & Völkers, Sotheby’s, every friendly local agent — all of them are paid by the seller. Their incentive is the highest possible price. That is not a criticism, simply their mandate.
This creates a structural imbalance: on the seller's side sit professionals with market access, experience and a clear mandate. On the buyer's side sits someone who doesn't speak the language, doesn't know the tax logic, and has no one to tell them what a fair price would be. That is why the „buyer's agent“ is standard in the US and the UK. In Spain, it is the exception.
This is precisely the gap Montaurio Advisory fills. We are not agents without a seller's listing, but the structural counterpart: an advisory engaged and paid exclusively by the buyer. Our fee and your benefit point in the same direction — that is not a matter of attitude, but of structural interest alignment.
Our work is to protect you from mistakes you would only notice years later. Sometimes that means advising against a property you love. It always means being honest — even when it is uncomfortable.
