Selling property in Spain traditionally comes at a steep cost, with estate agents often charging between 3–6% of the final sale price. For a €250,000 home, that’s up to €15,000 gone in fees alone.
But a smarter, more affordable way to sell is gaining traction and it’s the fixed-fee model. 5 Real Estate can sell your property in Spain for a fixed fee of just €999 + IVA, from the first step to the final notary appointment.
Why Homeowners Are Ditching Traditional Agents
The Problem with Commission-Based Selling
Estate agents in Spain typically charge a commission of 3–6% on the final sale price. This means that if you’re selling a €300,000 home, you could lose up to €18,000 in fees. These commissions are usually taken directly from the sale proceeds, reducing your return significantly.
For many homeowners, this model feels outdated and expensive, especially when the same results can be achieved for less.
The Rise of Fixed-Fee Estate Agents
More sellers are now choosing fixed-fee agencies that offer full estate agent services for a flat rate. This shift is part of a wider trend towards transparency, fairness and cost-efficiency in the Spanish property market.
With 5 Real Estate, you can sell your home for €999 + IVA. That includes listings on the biggest portals, professional marketing and expert support, all without hidden fees or inflated commissions.
What You Get for €999 + IVA
Professional Photography & Listing Creation
First impressions matter. Your property will be showcased with high-quality photography and a professionally written listing designed to attract serious buyers. This isn’t a DIY process, it’s handled by experienced professionals who know what works.
Listings on Major Portals (e.g., Idealista, Fotocasa)
Your property will appear on Spain’s most visited property websites like Idealista, Fotocasa and Kyero. These platforms attract millions of buyers every month, both local and international, giving your home the exposure it deserves.
Compared to traditional agents, who may limit visibility to their internal networks, this approach ensures maximum reach from day one.
Buyer Enquiries and Lead Management
As a seller, all buyer enquiries go directly to you which means that there are no delays, no miscommunication and no third-party filters. This puts you in control of who views your home and how you respond on top of it all, you’ll have our full support along the way as and when you need it.
Step-by-Step Guide to Selling for a Fixed Fee
Step 1 – Prepare Your Property
Before listing, ensure your home is clean, clutter-free and well-staged. Small touches like fresh paint, open blinds or tidy outdoor spaces, can make a big difference for buyers.
In addition to having your home aesthetically pleasing, you will also need to gather and prepare documents such as:
- Title deeds
- Energy performance certificate (EPC)
- Photographic ID
- Proof of tax payments
Step 2 – Choose a Fixed-Fee Agent
Not all fixed-fee agents are equal. Look for a company with a proven track record, multilingual support and no upsells or hidden charges.
5 Real Estate is one of the most trusted names on the Costa Blanca and in Murcia, with glowing reviews from thousands of sellers.
Step 3 – Launch Your Listing
Once your photos are taken and your listing is created, your property will go live across multiple portals. Most listings are published within a few days, ensuring you hit the market quickly with maximum impact.
Step 4 – Handle Viewings and Offers
You have the flexibility to arrange viewings yourself or with assistance from your agent, depending on the service package. When offers come in, you decide how to respond, giving you full control over negotiations.
Step 5 – Close the Sale with Legal Support
Selling property in Spain involves legal steps such as conveyancing, contracts, notary appointments and final tax obligations. A good fixed-fee agent will connect you with trusted legal professionals to ensure the process is smooth and compliant.
Common Myths About Fixed-Fee Selling (Busted)
“It’s Only for Tech-Savvy Sellers”
Not true. Fixed-fee agents like 5 Real Estate walk you through the entire process with real human support. You don’t need to be a tech expert, just a motivated seller.
“You Get What You Pay For”

This model is ideal for:
- Property owners who want to keep more of their sale proceeds
- Expats or remote sellers needing a reliable, transparent service
- Investors looking to sell multiple properties without multiple commission charges
Whether you’re selling a holiday apartment or a large villa, this approach gives you the flexibility and value modern sellers expect.
