we did what you're now considering

We made this dream come true ourselves. Now we help you.

Ramon and Joyce are husband and wife, and they run RC SolMar Homes together. They made the move to Spain themselves, with everything that comes with it. So they know exactly where you are standing now.

"We started over here ourselves. With everything that comes with it."
Ramon and Joyce have known this coast for years. They came here on holiday first, again and again, until the idea of staying took hold. Now they live here. It was a big decision, and it is one they still enjoy every single day. Exactly the step you are considering now.
So they know what that step asks of you. Packing boxes in the Netherlands. Applying for an NIE number without knowing what it is. Signing at a notary who speaks not a word of Dutch. And then getting ordinary life going: a doctor, a bank account, someone to fix the air conditioning. They had to work all of that out themselves. You no longer have to.
Both of them come from the trade. Joyce worked in property in the Netherlands, where she learned that buying a home is rarely only about the home: it is about how you want to live and who will come to stay. So a conversation with her starts with listening. Ramon was an estate agent there, and before that he ran his own underfloor heating company. So at a viewing he sees what you do not: how a house was put together, what was done properly, and where it will cost you money later. And they know this coast from the inside: the developers, the planning laws, the neighbourhoods where people live year-round, and the places you are better off skipping. Between them they cover both sides of the same question: will you be happy here, and does it hold up on paper?
That is why they do this work. They want others to find what they found, and they know how much depends on a good start, certainly when you are leaving behind everything you know. So no pressure and no sales talk. Sometimes we say no to a sale, and it costs us revenue. That is fine. Because when someone is happy here, they send us their friends and family. That is how we have worked for years.

we know the plans, you're buying the future

What's a building site now will be an oasis in three years.

A buyer sees what's there today. We know what's coming: the new promenade, the planned supermarket, the neighborhood that will be ready in three years — and the spot that will be worth more in five. That's the difference between a real estate agent and a regional specialist.

We monitor zoning plans and building permits across the entire region
We know the developers — and know who delivers what they promise
We also tell you what challenges the region will face in 3 years

What buyers often worry about

What does it cost on top of the purchase price?
Budget around 12–14% purchase costs. We create a complete overview in advance — no surprises at the notary.
Is my deposit safe with new construction?
Each construction phase is covered by a bank guarantee. We verify it before you pay.
Can I rent the house if I'm not there?
Often yes, with a rental license. We tell you where that's easy — and where it's not.
What if I'm still undecided between buying and renting?
Then we'll tell you that too. Sometimes renting first for a winter is the best advice we can give.
Start at step 1. Just a conversation.
No obligations, no sales pitch. At your home or via video.
