International buyers, interested in your area before they call anyone.
Expaty destination platforms reach people abroad at the moment they are choosing where to live, long before they contact an agency. We work with licensed local agents to turn that interest into viewings, and viewings into sales.
Most international buyers find you late.
By the time an international buyer calls, they have already compared destinations on portals, forums and videos, and often spoken to several agencies. Many never call at all, because nobody reached them in their language while they were still deciding.
How it works.
Our platforms publish in-depth local content about each destination and run international campaigns to people exploring it. When a visitor is ready to talk about property, the enquiry goes to the local partner agreed for that area. The criteria for a qualified enquiry are agreed with you in advance, and every enquiry is tracked from first contact.
Two ways to work with us.
Receive enquiries in your area
For agencies that want qualified international buyers for their listings and new-build mandates. You handle contact, viewings, negotiation and the transaction, under your licence.
Become the destination partner
For agents who want to build something bigger: be Expaty's person on the ground in your area, with the platform, the brand and the campaigns behind you. Your licence and your local network are exactly what turns interest into sales.
What we do, and what stays with you.
We take care of:
the destination platform and its content, international campaigns in several languages, a first check of each enquiry against the criteria agreed with you, and tracking from first contact.
You take care of:
every conversation with buyers, viewings, negotiation, contracts and the transaction. Everything that requires a licence stays with licensed professionals.
Why agents work with us.
-
Buyers who have chosen the place, not just a property.
They come to our platforms to understand the destination, so they arrive better informed and closer to a decision.
-
Markets you may not reach today.
In Spain, buyers from Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands choose new builds more often than any other nationality. We can run campaigns in the countries and languages that fit your listings.
-
A test before any commitment.
We start with one area and agreed criteria, and decide together whether to continue based on what happens.
Who this is for.
A good fit if you:
are a licensed agent or agency in or near one of our destinations; can answer buyers in English, and ideally in other languages; have new-build mandates or strong local listings.
Not a good fit if you:
are looking for a list of contacts to cold call; don't hold the licence required to operate in your country.
Questions
Is Expaty an estate agency?
No. We are a marketing platform. We don't show properties, negotiate or handle transactions: that stays with licensed professionals.
How are the terms agreed?
Terms are agreed in writing before any test starts. They depend on the area and the type of collaboration, and follow the rules that apply to your profession in your country.
Do I need exclusivity to start?
No. We start with a test in one area and agree the next steps together.
I already work with developers. Can we still work together?
Yes. Many developers rely on local agents to handle international buyers, and our enquiries can support the work you already do for them.
Which areas do you cover?
You can see all our destinations on the home page. If your area isn't listed yet, tell us about it anyway.
