Clarity Before You Commit

Moving to Spain is exciting. Figuring out how is another story.

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.

Why City Agent

True advice, not a sales pitch

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 Different Approach

Simple, structured, and personal

01

Discovery Call

A conversation to understand you, your family, your priorities, and what's realistic for your timeline.

02

Strategy & Clarity

I come back with straight answers to your questions and a practical path forward tailored to your situation.

03

On-The-Ground Visit

I guide you through neighborhoods, properties, schools, and the professionals you'll want on your side.

04

Ongoing Support

Once you arrive, I stay close. For as long as you need me, I'm just a call away.

Most of what I find is off-market.

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.
