Safe Buy Spain
Safe Buy Spain is an organization that was initiated by a group of like-minded real estate professionals on the inland Costa Blanca South and Murcia regions of Spain. Disillusioned by the lack of regulation, ethics and professionalism shown by many unregistered agents the SBS was started to act as a common voice of established, legal, tax paying agents.
Making Our Mark Count
The SBS is a non-profit group and unlike other similar organizations does not charge members a fee for joining. Membership of SBS is based on the real estate agents references from clients, their time in the industry, their legal status and most importantly of all their impeccable reputation for offering first class service to their clients.
This community of agents and their support network will uphold the highest standards and this initiative has been backed by banks, insurance companies, finance companies, lawyers and architects.

Safe Buy Spain was an idea that had been thought about over many years by a select group of agents who were tiring of the poor standards and ethics of certain agents in the area. The group initially met in early 2017 however the demands of busy agencies meant that the group was only officially formed in late 2017 with the original 3 founding members and 2 further agents who were asked to join the group. All participating agents offer identical standards of customer service, honesty and integrity and regardless of who you choose to find your dream home you are guaranteed a first class service with your trust in our hands………..
We are not under the illusion that we are speaking for the entire industry, we just want our customers to have the confidence that there is a group of like minded agents who aspire to the highest standards and that should you choose to work with any of us, you will receive the same levels of customer service, attention to detail, trustworthiness and honesty.
