A soft landing experience. You can research the move. You still need a friend to guide you through it. I help U.S. clients relocate, invest, and settle in Spain with real clarity and access to homes you won't find on a listing site.
Moving to Spain is exciting. Understanding how Spain actually works is another story. Processes are fragmented, information is scattered, and navigating everything from abroad can feel overwhelming. I bridge the gap between the U.S. and Spain, combining international experience with deep local knowledge, so your move is clear, guided, and stress-free.
"I tell clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear."
I'm Annette, founder of CITY-AGENT. I'm a Florida-licensed real estate broker with over 35 years of experience working between the U.S. and Spain, and a background in journalism that shapes how I work: asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and cutting through the noise. If something doesn't make sense, I say so.
I work as a solo advisor, without a team of employees pushing you toward a sale. Instead, I work alongside a vetted network of local, licensed professionals across the Costa del Sol, bringing in the right expert for your specific situation.
A conversation to understand you, your family, your priorities, and what's realistic for your timeline.
I come back with straight answers to your questions and a practical path forward tailored to your situation.
I guide you through neighborhoods, properties, schools, and the professionals you'll want on your side.
Once you arrive, I stay close. For as long as you need me, I'm just a call away.
These properties aren't publicly listed. I access them through trusted relationships and local knowledge built over years on the ground. Every search starts with understanding exactly what you're looking for, and just as importantly, what you're not. This isn't a catalogue of ready-made listings. Each search is shaped around your situation and the reality of the market right now.
"Moving from Miami to Barcelona felt overwhelming at first, but Annette gave us clarity from day one. She didn't just show us properties, she helped us understand neighborhoods, schools, and how life actually works here."
"What impressed me most was the discretion and access. The properties I saw were never publicly listed, and every recommendation felt aligned with my goals and timeline."
"The biggest value wasn't just finding a home, it was the soft landing. From introductions to legal advisors to helping us settle into daily life, she stayed present long after we arrived."
I start with an initial conversation designed to understand your situation, priorities, and timing. This lets me ask the right questions and set expectations before any properties or locations are discussed.
I come back with a clear outline of options and next steps: practical guidance, realistic timelines, and a structured plan so you can move forward with confidence.
Yes. I organize a tailored on-the-ground visit that respects your pace and priorities, from neighborhood tours to professional introductions.
Start with a conversation. No pressure, no sales pitch, just clarity.
