Costa del Sol Referral Partner Programme
You have the client. We have the coast. Introduce your buyer to La Sala Homes and we take the sale from the first viewing to the notary, in their own language, while they stay your client throughout.
Why introduce your clients to La Sala Homes
Part of The La Sala Group
Restaurants, the beach club and two decades on the coast. Your client has probably already heard of us, which is a different conversation from introducing them to a name they have to look up.
On the doorstep of Puerto Banús
Our office sits in Nueva Andalucía and we know the urbanisations street by street, from Estepona to Marbella East.
Fourteen languages, nine spoken in the office
British, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, French, Bulgarian, Russian and Estonian, so your client is looked after in the language they actually think in.
We handle the whole sale
Viewings, negotiation, lawyers, notary, keys. You introduce, we deliver, and you are copied in at every stage.
Your client stays your client
We do not market to them, we do not add them to our mailing list, and we never go round you.
Marketing you can use
Unbranded brochures, floor plans and current prices for anything we hold, so you can put a property in front of your client under your own name.
Die La Sala Group
Von der Gastronomie zum Zuhause
La Sala begann vor über zwei Jahrzehnten als Hospitality-Marke an der Costa del Sol, mit gefeierten Restaurants wie La Sala Banus und La Sala Puerto, dem ikonischen Beach Club La Sala by the Sea und einer treuen internationalen Gemeinschaft aus Residenten, Urlaubern und Investoren. Über die Jahre stellten uns unsere Gäste immer wieder dieselbe Frage: Können Sie uns helfen, hier ein Zuhause zu finden? Die Antwort darauf wurde La Sala Homes, eine natürliche Erweiterung der Gruppe, aufgebaut auf denselben Beziehungen, derselben lokalen Expertise und demselben Anspruch an außergewöhnlichen Service. Heute verbindet La Sala Homes den tief verwurzelten Ruf der Gruppe mit einem modernen, technologiegetriebenen Ansatz für den Immobilienmarkt. Wenn Sie mit uns zusammenarbeiten, verbinden Sie Ihre Kunden mit einer Marke, die sie bereits kennen und der sie vertrauen, getragen von einem Lifestyle-Ökosystem, das keine andere Agentur an der Küste bieten kann.

How it works
Five steps, and the only one that needs anything from you is the first.
Apply
One form, about five minutes. Tell us who you are and send us proof you are trading.
We check, and send you the agreement
We look at your company and your documents, then send you the collaboration agreement to sign. Your commission is set out in it, agreed with you before you introduce anybody.
Register your buyer
In writing, before anyone has spoken to them. We confirm within two working days and tell you there and then how we are treating the introduction.
We run the sale
Property selection, viewings, the offer, the reservation, the lawyers and the notary. You stay informed throughout and as involved as you want to be.
You invoice us on completion
Once the sale completes at the notary and we have been paid, you invoice us and we pay you.
What happens to your client in Spain
Buying here does not work the way it does at home. This is the process your client goes through, and the part of it we take off your desk.
Viewings
In person or by video, planned around the dates your client is actually here. We send you the feedback after every one.
The offer
Put in writing with the price, the conditions and the timetable. We negotiate it and come back to you before anything is agreed.
Reservation
A reservation deposit takes the property off the market while the lawyers do their work. It is normally held by the agency or the lawyer, not the seller.
Due diligence
Their lawyer checks the title, the debts, the licences and the community. We put the file together for them and chase what is missing.
The arras contract
The private purchase contract, normally ten per cent. It fixes the final price and the completion date, and it carries a penalty on both sides.
Notary
Completion happens in front of a notary, with both parties or their power of attorney. The keys change hands there.
Land Registry
The deed is registered and the community is told who the new owner is. Until that is done the purchase is not finished.
Taxes and costs
Budget ten to fourteen per cent on top of the price: transfer tax or VAT, notary, registry and legal fees.
The purchase process, step by step
Who we work with
If you have a client who wants to buy on the Costa del Sol, there is a way to work with us.
- Estate agents outside Spain
- Relocation and mobility firms
- Wealth managers and family offices
- Property consultants and buying agents
- Lifestyle and concierge services
- Developers with overseas buyers
- Past clients and anyone with a single introduction to make
Your client stays your client
We never contact your client outside the sale you introduced them for. They do not go on our mailing list, they are not called by another agent here, and when the sale is done they go back to being yours. A registered introduction is protected in writing, and that protection is in the agreement you sign, not in a promise on a web page.
Questions we get asked
How does the referral programme work?
You introduce a buyer who wants to purchase on the Costa del Sol, we handle the sale from first viewing to notary, and you receive a share of our fee when it completes. You sign one agreement at the start and register each buyer in writing before anyone speaks to them.
What commission do you pay?
It is agreed with you in the collaboration agreement, and it is a share of the fee La Sala Homes receives on the sale, never a share of the purchase price. What you earn depends on the kind of introduction and how involved you stay, so we set it out in writing before you introduce anybody.
Do I have to be a registered estate agent?
No. We work with registered real estate companies and with individuals. You do need to be able to invoice us, which in Spain means being registered as self-employed or trading through a company, and abroad means the equivalent where you are.
Do I need to come to the viewings?
If you are based on the Costa del Sol, yes, and it is in your interest: an introduction you accompany is worth more than one you do not. If you are based outside Spain and your clients live abroad, you are not expected to travel.
How do I register a client, and how long are they protected?
By email to info@lasalahomes.com, before any contact between your client and us, with their name, phone and email. We confirm or decline within two working days. A confirmed registration is protected for twelve months, and that protection covers their spouse or partner and any company they control.
When am I paid, and how?
On completion, once La Sala Homes has itself been paid, against your invoice. We do not pay on exchange, on reservation or on a promise, because we are not paid then either.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole Costa del Sol: Marbella, Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía, Benahavís, Estepona, Sotogrande, Mijas, Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Marbella East. If your client is looking somewhere we do not hold stock, we will say so rather than waste their trip.
Do you work with agents outside Spain?
Most of our partners are outside Spain. Our website runs in fourteen languages and the office speaks nine, so an introduction from Stockholm, Warsaw or Amsterdam is handled in the client's own language from the first email.
Can I stay involved in the sale?
As involved as you want. Some partners introduce and ask only to be kept informed; others join the viewings by video, sit in on the negotiation and come to the notary. Both work, and we adapt to you rather than the other way round.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your company details and proof you are trading: a company registration or licence if you are a company, or your self-employed registration if you are an individual. The application form asks for exactly that and nothing else.
Become a partner
One form, about five minutes. We come back to you with the agreement and the commission set out in writing.
