Know someone buying or selling on the Costa del Sol?
A buyer who is searching, or an owner who wants to sell: introduce them to Mr. Broker Estate. We guide the client in their own language, from first enquiry or listing to the notary. On a completed sale you receive 20% of our own commission share.
What is an introduction worth?
Pick the sale price and see your fee instantly. For illustration only.
Example based on a customary 5% commission, excluding VAT. On a shared file only our own received share counts. No promise of income or return.
People whose network looks south
For professionals in Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovakia and the Czech Republic who regularly meet clients with plans on the Costa del Sol. And for private individuals too: if you know a friend, relative or neighbour with plans in Spain, that introduction counts just the same. You do not have to sell anything: you make the introduction, we do the rest.

From introduction to payout
Every step is confirmed in writing, so you always know where a file stands.
- You register a client
Name, contact details, buyer or seller, and the search brief or the property. By form, email or WhatsApp, before the client is in touch with us.
- We assess within 2 working days
You receive written acceptance with a registration number and end date. Only then is the registration valid.
- We guide the client
Search, viewings, negotiation and coordination with lawyer and notary. You are kept informed.
- The sale completes
Binding purchase contract, then completion at the notary. For new builds the private contract is the starting point for the commission; the deal stays protected meanwhile.
- You receive your fee
Within 10 working days after we have received our commission and your invoice. With full visibility of the calculation.
Clear, in writing, no small print
The signed agreement and the accepted client registration determine the entitlement.
- Fee
- 20% of the own commission share actually received by Mr. Broker Estate, excluding VAT.
- Shared commission
- Another agent's share does not count.Our own marketing, travel, administration and staff costs are not deducted.
- Which introductions
- Buyers and sellers. A new listing is worth as much as a buyer.A seller is linked to a specific property and a sales mandate accepted by us.
- Discretion
- Your cooperation with us is not advertised and we never share amounts with the client.As the agreement and privacy law require, the client is informed that a referral arrangement may exist. Nothing more.
- Registration
- In advance, in writing, by form, email or WhatsApp.Valid after explicit acceptance with a registration number. An automatic acknowledgement is not yet acceptance.
- Protection
- 24 months from acceptance.A binding purchase contract within that period remains protected if completion at the notary takes place later, for instance with new builds.
- Payout
- Within 10 working days after completion at the notary, full receipt of our commission and a correct invoice.For new builds the developer usually pays our commission after the private contract is signed, but this can take up to 60 days and shifts if not all licences are in place yet. We are transparent about this and you receive your fee within 10 working days after we have been paid.
- Cooperation
- No joining fee, no minimum number of introductions, non-exclusive.Introductions only; you do not negotiate or represent us. 30 days' notice; running registrations remain valid.
Your name goes with it. We live up to it.
An introduction is a matter of trust. That is why we work so that your client thanks you afterwards.
Guidance in your client's language
Boutique agency in Marbella for Dutch, Belgian, Slovak and Czech buyers and sellers. Five languages at the table.
One contact, the whole journey
From search brief to keys: selection, viewings, negotiation and coordination with lawyer, notary and bank.
Transparent towards you
Written registration, a file number, progress updates and full visibility of how your fee is calculated.
Who looks after your client?
No big office where your client is a number. Two people who guide every file personally, from the first enquiry to the handover of keys at the notary.
Yoni Bernard
Belgian, lives and works on the Costa del Sol. Founded Mr. Broker Estate as a boutique agency for buyers and sellers who prefer personal guidance to a large office.
Also co-founder of DecoGym, supplier of turnkey fitness installations to hotels, resorts and residences in Spain. That is how he knows developers, managers and communities from the inside.
- Dutch, English, Spanish, Slovak, Czech
- One contact for buyer, seller, lawyer, notary and bank
- Personally reachable on WhatsApp, also after the deal
Lucia
Slovak, and Yoni's steady tandem for years. Lucia is the first point of contact for our Slovak and Czech clients and makes sure every file runs smoothly, from the first meeting to the appointment at the notary.
She knows the Costa del Sol inside out and knows exactly how a buyer from Bratislava or Prague looks at Marbella. For partners that means a fixed contact who guides your client in their own language and keeps you informed.
- Slovak, Czech, English, Spanish
- Guidance of Slovak and Czech buyers and sellers
- Follow-up of partner registrations and progress updates
Your client is in good hands with us
Almost ten years on the Costa del Sol, more than a hundred completed files. This is what people who worked with us say.
Yoni handled our sale from A to Z, right up to the appointment at the notary. We never had to chase anyone ourselves.
Maarten J., seller, San Pedro de AlcántaraWithin three weeks of the first viewing we had an offer that made sense. Clear, fast and always reachable.
Sarah G., buyer, Nueva AndalucíaAs a Belgian you want someone who knows the Spanish paperwork and speaks your own language. Yoni does both.
Steven C., buyer, EsteponaI passed on a client and got a confirmation with a file number the same day. After that I heard at every step where things stood.
Kenny P., referral partner, AntwerpNo sales talk, just an honest valuation and a plan. Our penthouse sold for the price he predicted.
John L., seller, MarbellaThe coordination with lawyer, bank and notary ran entirely through Yoni. All we had to do was come and sign.
Eric M., buyer, BenahavísHis network with developers made the difference: we got to see a unit before it went online.
Annic C., buyer, La Cala de MijasLucia guided our parents entirely in Slovak. For them that was the difference between hesitating and signing.
Janko S., buyer, SotograndeLucia sent an update every week, even when there was nothing new. That kind of calm is what you want when buying abroad.
Renata M., buyer, Golden Mile, MarbellaAs a Czech tax adviser I refer clients to Lucia. She knows exactly which questions to ask upfront.
Milan K., referral partner, BrnoLucia arranged the viewings around our weekend in Marbella and had the shortlist ready. Two days, one decision.
Tania T., buyer, CalahondaOur sale went through Lucia; the buyer came from her Slovak network. Fast, discreet and neatly handled.
Nelka K., seller, ElviriaWhat partners often ask us
What do I provide when registering?
Your name and partner ID, the client's full name, phone and/or email, whether they are a buyer or seller, the search brief or budget if known, the property in the case of a seller, and the date of introduction. You confirm that the client agrees to the introduction and to our contact.
What if the client is already known to you?
Then no fee is due for that introduction. We let you know in writing as soon as possible, with an explanation, without sharing confidential third-party data. With duplicate requests, the first fully received and accepted registration counts.
Do I get paid if the buyer purchases through their company?
Yes, if demonstrably the same purchase and the same economic interest are served. We confirm that link in writing. This gives no general entitlement to all transactions of related persons or companies.
How does it work with new builds?
With new builds the developer usually pays our commission after the private contract is signed, but up to 60 days can pass between signing and payment. If not all licences are in place yet, it can take longer. We are transparent about this and pass on all information we receive from the developer, so you know when to expect your fee. Your registration and the protection of the signed purchase contract remain in force meanwhile.
Does my client know I receive a fee?
We handle it discreetly: your cooperation with us is not advertised and we never share amounts with the client. Under the agreement and privacy law, the client is informed that a referral arrangement may exist. It is a short, neutral notice, and it protects both you and us.
Can I also introduce a seller?
Yes, and for us that is at least as valuable as a buyer. A new listing that comes in through you and that we take on as a mandate falls fully under the same 20% arrangement. You register the seller together with the property.
What if the sale falls through or the commission is refunded?
On cancellation, rescission or non-completion no fee is due. If we have to refund a received commission in whole or in part, the fee is adjusted proportionally and we explain this in writing.
I introduced both the buyer and the seller. Twice 20%?
No. Per transaction the same partner is not paid 20% twice. If there are different partners on both sides, a split is agreed in writing beforehand.
Can I introduce someone as a private individual?
Yes. You do not need a company. You register the client in the same way and receive the same fee. We discuss beforehand how the payout is handled correctly for tax in your country. For regulated professions or employees, we first check together whether your professional rules and employer allow a referral fee.
What about my client's privacy?
You share only what is needed for the introduction and ask the client's consent beforehand. ID documents or financial files are not part of the standard registration. Both parties work under the GDPR; an introduction is not consent to newsletters.
