# Directimo > Directimo is a buyer-side personal shopper for property buyers in Spain (Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca). Verified listings and independent due diligence before you commit. Operated by Directimo SL, Málaga, Spain, with a second office in Bucharest, Romania. The site is published in 6 languages (English, Nederlands, Polski, Français, Español, Română). English is the reference version; property listings are indexable in English and Spanish. ## Frequently asked questions Source: https://www.directimo.com/#faq - **Is Directimo free for buyers?** A free buyer account gives you full access to the documented property catalogue, zone guides, market reports and the Shortlist feature. No credit card is required. Premium access activates with your buyer mandate, signed after your free consultation. - **Does Directimo work for sellers or developers?** No. Directimo works exclusively on the buyer side. We do not take instructions from sellers, listing agents or developers, and we do not advertise properties on behalf of vendors. - **What makes Directimo different from a property portal?** Portals show listings. They do not check documentation, verify prices, run due diligence or negotiate on your behalf. Directimo is a buyer representation service: your personal shopper searches 99.9% of the market, shortlists to your brief and protects your interest throughout. - **What can I access with a free buyer account?** With a free account you can browse all documented properties with zone-level locations, see photos, descriptions, payment plans and building details, and open the full unit price tables on new developments. You can also use the Shortlist to add any listing from any website for your personal shopper to review, explore zones, read guides and market reports, and receive a weekly email with your new matches. - **Which areas does Directimo cover?** We currently cover Costa del Sol (from Estepona to Nerja) and Costa Blanca (from Dénia to Torrevieja). Your personal shopper has on-the-ground knowledge of both coasts. - **How does Directimo help me choose the right area?** Your personal shopper produces zone-level intelligence reports covering lifestyle, infrastructure, price trends and comparable transactions. We also accompany you on zone visits, so you see each area the way a buyer needs to rather than the way it is sold. - **Can Directimo help me compare new developments and resales?** Yes. We access developer price lists, floor plans and availability directly, including pre-launch allocations, and compare them against resale options in the same zones on price per square metre, finish quality, location and total cost of ownership. - **Can I get exact property locations?** Exact addresses and full map access are part of the Premium tier, which activates with your buyer mandate. Free account listings show zone-level locations to protect vendor privacy during the early stages of your search. - **Can Directimo help with legal, tax and mortgage?** Yes. On the legal side, your personal shopper works with your lawyer, or introduces a local independent one, on title, contracts and the notary. If you are financing, we can introduce a mortgage broker, and a tax adviser for the fiscal side of buying and owning in Spain. - **Can I buy remotely?** We can do a great deal remotely: market research, shortlisting, documentation review and initial negotiation. We strongly recommend at least one in-person viewing trip before committing to a purchase. We will accompany you and coordinate everything on the ground. - **Does Directimo guarantee returns, discounts or availability?** No. We present independently verified information to help you make a better-informed decision. Past transaction outcomes do not guarantee future results. Any price benchmarking is an internal estimate based on comparable closed transactions, not a guaranteed saving. - **How do I get started?** Create a free buyer account to explore the catalogue and build your shortlist. You do not need a consultation for that. When you are ready to work with a dedicated personal shopper, book a free 25-minute consultation and we will take it from there. - **Why not just contact the listing agent directly?** A listing agent's duty is to the seller. They will not tell you if the price is above market, if there are title issues, or if a better alternative exists. Your personal shopper's job is to tell you exactly those things. - **What is the buyer mandate?** The buyer mandate is the agreement that formally retains Directimo as your personal shopper. It sets out the scope of the search, the zones covered and the terms of the engagement. Signing it activates your Premium account and assigns a dedicated personal shopper to your brief. - **What languages does my personal shopper speak?** English is the primary service language. Additional language support varies by personal shopper. Let us know your preferred language when you book your free consultation and we will match you accordingly. - **Can you help after I buy (rentals, management, settling in)?** Yes. Every partner we introduce is one we have vetted and worked with, not a name from a directory. After completion your personal shopper stays your point of contact and connects you with trusted local partners for settling in (utilities, insurance, renovations, furnishing, schools, healthcare) and, if you rent it out, for property management (tourist licence, guest management, cleaning and reporting). ## Market reports & intelligence -
