My family purchased an apartment in Barcelona in December, 2018, with the assistance of Aliga…read moreRealtor. It was by sheer luck that I ran into Jose when he showed me the apartment. From then on it was all smooth sailing, with the very professional assistance of the entire team. Jose took me to the policy office for the NIE, accompanied me several times to the bank for account opening, to the Notary office for the transfer of ownership, and to the gas/electricity company for the change of name, and finally to the municipal office for tax payments, so on and so forth. Jose's proficiency in English was also a big plus. He even acted as an interpreter in my interaction with the bankers and utility providers. All those services were beyond my expectation, as there was no fee charged on the buyer, and Jose did it all for free. Ana took care of all the paperwork, and it was amazing that the documents (offer and counter offer; downpayment agreement) were all bilingual, making it reader friendly for non-Spanish or Catalan clients. Carlos, the head of the office, offered words of wisdom whenever we ran into complex issues, and provided backstop and confidence. The whole office is like a seamless team with clear division of responsibilities and cooperate whenever needed. In my search for housing, I worked with several realtors, including 3 big names and several boutique offices. Aliga stood out as the most professional, reliable, and client-oriented company, and it leads the second by far. Now that we have run the entire process from house showing to registration, we are in the best position to recommend Aliga without any reservation to anyone who happens to search for a home or wants to sell a house. You will find it a crown jewel and you will never regret working with them. Even to this day, we continue to feel extremely lucky to have met and worked with Aliga. Jason, Nancy and Jun

I definitely recommend him because he is friendly, hard-working, and he helped us tremendously with our move. 1. He found us an amazing apartment in the best part of town. 2. He found us a storage room at a great price. 3. He resourced a parking garage for us in the new neighborhood. 4. He provided cleaning services. 5. He got us the best deal for internet services. 6. He got us very efficient movers. etc, etc, etc.... you get the picture! Just Landed in Barcelona always has different types of housing to fit your needs.

When I first landed in Barcelona I wish that I had encountered Conor instead of the typical cheesy…read morerental agency that ink stuck with for now. These nasty people refused at first to refund my Reservation Deposit and also tried to Jerry-rig the rent payments to overlap....incredible! ( Hint: they like to wear soft shoes!) A friend recommended Conor and he immediately pointed out the illegality of what was going on. I resisted their bullying of a 70yr old man and eventually got a new contract. Soon I will buy an apartment of my own and I will be glad to have Conor to guide me through that process. His services include connections in Design and Construction, as well as running his own agency. Un Saludo, Conor.

Be very careful with the extra charges and the check-in process here…read more Our biggest issue was not the apartment itself. It was how the host handled communication, extra fees, and arrival. Before the stay, we were suddenly asked to pay an additional €80 "holiday check-in fee" plus tourist tax through a payment request right before arrival. The holiday fee had not been clearly and openly explained to us in any practical way beforehand. It was buried inside a long block of listing text, without being clearly highlighted before the free cancellation period ended. As foreign travelers, how were we supposed to know a local holiday surcharge would apply if the host never clearly explained it? We asked a very normal clarification question about these charges, especially because the listing said the tourist tax was charged per person, per night, and one guest was not staying all nights. This was a simple and valid question. There were not endless messages from our side. There was essentially one clarification request about the charges and one follow-up about the check-in process. That was all. What made this even more frustrating was that the host had our information and arrival details already, but still did not clearly flag these costs in a direct way before arrival. The payment request initially did not even come with a proper breakdown. For travelers already dealing with flights, time differences, and a wedding schedule, this kind of last-minute surprise is extremely inconvenient and stressful. Check-in was also unnecessarily difficult. The host insisted on doing it in person, but then arrived late, so we had to wait even after check-in time had already started. We did not complain and simply waited. Once the host arrived, the explanation took about 30 minutes and went through far more detail than necessary while part of our group was trying to unpack and get ready for dinner. It made the entire arrival feel rigid and inconvenient. The most unreasonable part is that after all of this, the host left us a nasty review, even though our only real issue was asking for clarification about significant extra charges that had not been clearly disclosed in a straightforward way. Asking about an €80 fee and a tax calculation is not bad behavior. It is basic common sense. If you book here, read every line extremely carefully and be prepared for extra costs and a very inflexible communication style. For international travelers especially, this was far more stressful than it needed to be.
