RESS Real Estate San Sebastian

Contacted RESS for a purchase overseas in Spain. I was vague with the area I wanted to settle in but Maria and Patxi were up to the task. Maria went above and beyond my expectations. It was a difficult purchase by any standards and she and Patxi were consummate professionals. Being clueless as to the ever changing laws, they helped me and my husband every step of the way. I don’t think the sale would have gone through if it wasn’t for their due diligence and constantly thinking outside the box to make it happen. I am proud to say I’m writing this review in my new home in Spain. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

We wanted to lease an apartment in Donostia/San Sebastian, and realized that finding one and being able to rent it as foreigners with limited Spanish would be difficult. Maria at RESS did an outstanding job of helping us navigate that process. Aside from finding apartments to meet our requirements and negotiating with the owners and their real estate agents on our behalf, she facilitated related but equally important steps such as getting a bank account in Spain, providing contacts such as a handyman, and getting empadronamiento at the Udalinfo. We're convinced that working with RESS and Maria was the right step to take, and we're very appreciative of the thoughtfulness and hard work they displayed in shepherding us through the process. Highly recommended.

Buying a property in San Sebastian is very difficult due to the high demand and the low number of properties on the market. I was born in the area but have been leaving abroad for many years, which made it more difficult and the whole process seemed daunting. For starters, as a non resident I was finding it difficult to aproach a bank to ask for a mortgage. Maria made things easier from the beginning by putting me in contact with a Spanish bank to obtain a mortgage and help me determine what type of property and area would suit my budget. When we found the property the whole process was very quick, with Maria taking care of all the usual legalities, even the transfer of utilities when the purchase was completed.. I am really happy I used RESS and would not hesitate to use their services again.

They helped us find and lease an apartment (piso) here in Donostia - partly while we were still in the US... But they also helped with setting up a local bank account, getting the utilities set up, and our agent (Maria) went with us for our empadronamiento appointment (to register as a local resident for our Visa)... Overall very helpful and friendly - and all in excellent English.

Muy contenta con el trabajo de Patxi, gracias a el pude vender mi piso con mucha tranquilidad. Los recomiendo mucho!

Patxi nos ha ayudado con la venta de nuestra vivienda encargándose de todas las gestiones. Muy buena comunicación y todo perfecto. 100% recomendable

Muy contentas con la gestión de Patxi. Nos ha facilitado todo el proceso de venta. Gran profesional. Muy recomendable.

Gracias a Real Estate SS hemos vendido nuestra casa en un tiempo record y en unas condiciones inmejorables. Estupendo servicio!

Patxi se encargó de vender nuestra casa de la forma más rápida y eficaz posible.

Fantástico! Gracias a Iñaki hemos conocido el trabajo de Patxi.Han sabido en todo momento nuestras necesidades de venta. Muy muy cercano y con una paciencia infinita. Sobre todo lo que más se agradece la cercanía y confianza que transmite. Muchas gracias da gusto. Recomendable 100%

Patxi and his team made our dream come true. After living in the US and UK, and spending several months looking, we were able to buy our dream apartment. Without Patxi’s local knowledge and network we wouldn’t have been able to secure it due to how competitive the market in San Sebastián is. There is just not enough options of top apartments for a good price like to hire someone that will not do everything in their power to get you the apartment that you want. Don’t waste your time hiring someone without this much experience and true end to end service (initial search, investment options, rental management network, etc). They for sure are very, very busy, but they are busy because people know that they are the best, will do whatever is needed (within the legal boundaries of course) and things take time. We are beyond thankful.

No le doy 0 estrellas porque sino no puedo publicar la reseña. Teníamos una cita en Zumaia para ver una casa y ni han aparecido. Hal ponernos en contacto con ellos nos decían que no teníamos una cita. Hal decirles que tenia los email de la conversación y que habíamos sacado el numero de teléfono del email nos han puesto la excusa de que la casa estaba en obras y que ya no lo iban a enseñar. Me parece una falta de respeto y de muy poca profesionalidad. Nunca mas voy ha acudir a esta agencia inmobiliaria.

Ha sido muy fácil la compra del piso de nuestra vida con Patxi.Un profesional que está al servicio del cliente y su carácter empático lo hace todo muy fácil.Un placer encontrarse con una persona como Patxi.Muy recomendable para todo aquel que quiera adquirir el piso de sus sueños.Muy agradecido.Un abrazo

Profesional y eficiente

Todo perfecto. Patxi ha facilitado muchísimo el proceso de venta de mi vivienda. Muy profesional y muy buena comunicación.

Muy profesionales con grandes contactos en el area inmobiliaria. Te acompañan en la venta con reportajes audiovisuales de gran calidad, incluso con dron, y en la postventa. Me han conseguido muchas visitas, todas ellas serias y solventes. En las visitas nos acompañaron Daniel, Andrés y Patxi. 3 profesionales que consiguen un ambiente distendido haciendo que los clientes se sientan como en su casa . Equipo 100% recomendable

Espainian eta Frantzian kontaktuak dituen lan-talde oso profesionala da. Beraiei esker hainbat nazionalitatetako bisitariak izan ditut. Egindako argazki eta bideo lanek zintzo erakusten dute etxearen nortasuna. Bisitetan giro lasaia lortzen dute, bezeroek eroso sentitzen dira eta etxea berea sentitzen dute. Behin salmenta eginda, izapide guztietan lagundu didate. Nirea kasuan, salmenta konplikatua zen (eskatutako baldintzengatik) eta lortu dute. Elkarlan bikaina izan da! Eskerrik asko RESS!

Ha sido fantástico, la rapidez y lo profesional que ha sido, no tengo queja ninguna pero si muchos halagos, gracias

Una gestion, rapida y facil, gracias

Merci à toute l’équipe RESS pour leur accompagnement dans la recherche d’appartements. De vrais professionnels disponibles et efficaces. Leurs conseils, leur expérience, la connaissance du marché et les spécificités locales (San Sebastian) et leur aide à distance ont été précieuses.

Realizamos dos operaciones con RESS: la venta de un apartamento y la compra de una casa. Un proceso largo y complejo, pero que nos permitió conocer muy bien el trabajo de esta empresa. Podemos decir sin lugar a dudas que son profesionales sumamente competentes, con experiencia, amplio conocimiento del mercado y total compromiso con su trabajo. Guillermo también domina todo lo relacionado con la compra y venta de inmuebles: los aspectos burocráticos, cuestiones fiscales, trámites bancarios... Se adelanta a los problemas, propone soluciones eficaces y se esmera en que todo salga lo mejor posible para los implicados. Y todo ello con mucha educación, paciencia, consideración y sensibilidad ante las necesidades de cada familia involucrada. Patxi se implica igualmente hasta resolver cada asunto, con total responsabilidad y compromiso. RESS cuenta con nuestro profundo respeto y nuestra total confianza como clientes.

I will forever be grateful to Patxi Comas and Mikel Serrano for making my dream of owning a home in Donostia/San Sebastian come true. Patxi may have very well invented the concept of a buyer's agent in the area, and he truly went above and beyond. Being experienced with real estate transactions in the U.S. but unfamiliar with the system in Spain, Patxi and Mikel provided information and support every step of the way. They connected my husband and I with a bank lender, tax accountant, and real estate & immigration attorneys. While I was in Donostia last week to close on the property, I finally got to meet Patxi in person. Patxi is truly an upstanding and kind human being, and I cannot recommend him and his company enough!!!!

Excelentes profesionales! Después de meses de trabajo, llamadas y alquileres que casi se daban pero no salían, Patxi se trasladó hasta Alicante a conocer dos casas - y conversó con mi actual arrendataria. Me consta que pude conseguir alquiler gracias a su trabajo con la dueña y su muy amable disposición. La verdad que era una situación muy especial, porque emigrábamos y estábamos a contrareloj, pero no puedo estarle lo suficientemente agradecida :)

Ha sido un placer trabajar con Patxi, en todo momento ha colaborado para cerrar satisfactoriamente la venta. Gran profesional y mejor persona.

Un buen profesional, paciente, que toma el tiempo de entender lo que quieres y te orienta. Conoce muy bien el procedimiento de compra para residentes fuera de España y es muy eficaz con el asesoramiento y el papeleo.

Fantastic experience with this Company! Patxi and Guillermo are excellent. They educated us so that we understood the market. They provided us with guidance and protected our interests through every step of the process. I strongly urge anyone looking for real estate in San Sebastián to hire them. Their fee structure is very reasonable for the hard work, passion and dedication that they put forth. These are professionals who use their experience to ensure that their clients are treated fairly. We feel so lucky that we found them and would definitely hire them again.

Nos recomendaron a Patxi Comas y fue realmente excelente. Buscábamos un piso para nuestro hijo desde Chile y Patxi lo consiguió en tiempo récord en un lugar perfecto. Además, nos brindó el mejor asesoramiento, asegurando cubrir al 100% nuestras expectativas. Estamos tremendamente agradecidos. Lo recomendamos a ojos cerrados.

The experience overall was great and smoother than expected. Patxi anticipated all our needs and next steps as foreigners and guided us expertly through the whole process. He has a lot of experience and was well connected to the market and resources we needed. Top service.

Seriedad, eficiencia y solvencia en el servicio ofrecido por Patxi Comas en la venta del nuestro piso en San Sebastián .

As North Americans looking to buy a vacation home in San Sebastian, Spain, the prospect was a daunting one … until we met Patxi Comas. While the overall process is similar to buying property in the US, many of the particulars are different and the language barrier would have made things difficult. Patxi is a lifelong resident of San Sebastián so he knows the local ins and outs, and he speaks fluent English so communication was easy. Patxi is literally a one-stop shop: he was our realtor who showed us available properties meeting our criteria and budget, but also facilitated the necessary meetings and paperwork with banks, notaries, attorneys (to discuss potential visa options), and the like — we wouldn’t have known where to begin on our own, and Patxi’s help clearly saved us tons of time and potential frustration. Furthermore, Patxi connected us with local architects/contractors to renovate our apartment flat, as well as visiting recently renovated flats so that we could get a sense of the finished work. He also arranged a meeting with another foreign client at their flat currently undergoing renovation, so that we had an opportunity to ask questions and get a better sense of the scope of the overall process. In short, Patxi has been an invaluable resource who made acquiring our dream vacation home a much easier task than it otherwise might have been, and his services are fairly priced. Our highest recommendation — thank you, Patxi!

Todo perfecto. Recomendable al 100%. Sin duda volvería a contar con ellos si lo necesitará.

Magnífica gestión, rápida y eficaz.

Patxi and his team are amazing. Super professional, quick response time, very accomodating, help solve tricky problems, and get things done. Highly recommend!

Asesoramiento profesional de principio a fin.

Rassure, simplifie, résume et vous accompagne ++++ Réactivité C’est mieux que ce dont on rêve pour vous accompagner lors d’une acquisition … Mille mercis Patxi, vivement le prochain projet!

Son muy atentos y profesionales, muy aconsejables

Nous avons contacté Patxi en août 2022 pour visiter un appartement dans la vieille ville de San Sebastián. Il est d’une efficacité redoutable. En 24h notre offre a été acceptée par les propriétaires et nous avons signé le contrat de compromis de vente puis payé un accompte aux vendeurs correspondant à 10% du montant total de la valeur du bien. ( mais il est possible de signer un contrat de réservation du bien avant cela, ce qui vous laisse le temps de faire votre demande de prêt) Ensuite, Patxi s’occupe de tout: - il vous conseille une banque espagnole si besoin pour ouvrir un compte bancaire et pour faire éventuellement l’emprunt -il vous met en relation avec un notaire basque espagnol -il vous traduit les contrat de compromis de vente -il vous explique comment obtenir le NIE en Espagne ( c’est possible en 1 journée au commissariat de police de Irun si vous vous présentez avec les bons documents imprimés au préalable sur leur site internet) -il vous accompagne chez le Notaire le jour de la signature bien évidemment -il s’occupe de tous les transferts de compteur d’eau, électrique, gaz, téléphone, ramassage des déchets etc…à votre nom et sur votre compte bancaire espagnol -il vous met en relation avec un architecte ou un plombier Vous pouvez lui poser 1000 questions, il a toujours les réponses. Aujourd’hui, grâce à Patxi, nous sommes les heureux propriétaires d’un bel appartement à Donostia, ville dont nous sommes éperdument amoureux. Encore mille merci Patxi!

Un equipo fantástico de personas y profesionales que te acompañan en todo momento. Recomendable sin duda al 100%.

My husband and I, from the US, give Patxi the strongest recommendation possible. He was fantastic to work with as we found and purchased our new home in Basque Country. It would be fair to say that without his assistance we probably would not have succeeded. Finding the house and agreeing on the price was the easy part. Then came the complicated steps, which Patxi managed for us completely: getting our NIE numbers, opening a local bank account, working with the notario to finalize the deal, etc. For each step he and his team prepared the paperwork and made the appointments for us and even accompanied us to the appointments. Really all we needed to do was add our signatures. Even after the deal was done he offered to hold a key to our house and go there as necessary while we go back to the US for a few months to finish up things there and prepare to move. Hire Patxi if you want the best and most friendly service and ultimate success.

Un equipo fantàstico, te cuidan y acompañan en todo el proceso de venta o de compra del inmueble. Se lo recomemdaría a todo el mundo, se han encargado de todos los tràmites y me han facilitado la venta de mi caserío muchísimo. Gracias por todo.

We first met Patxi and Guillermo on Zoom meetings while we were still in Australia awaiting our visa. They soon found and negotiated a long-term lease on a terrific apartment in San Sebastian, no easy task since we had our cat in tow. We hardly had to lift a finger during the whole process. But much more than that, Guillermo guided us all the way through our padron and TIE appointments and was invaluable in a hundred other ways as we blindly stumbled through the migration process. These guys are terrific operators by anyone's standard.

The best decision we've ever made was to contact Patxi for our property buying quest. Patxi is at the top of his game. He knows the market inside out, is the best in finding solutions, and is warm and empathetic. If you are looking for a real estate agent, don't hesitate to contact RESS.

I want one I want an apartment here i wish the conversion was in Australian dollars on the site

Patxi was there to help with every step of the process- from locating a notario, mortgage, including how I might rent my apartment to make extra income. He is professional and truly exceptional at his job.

Contacte a Patxi (RESS) para vender mi piso en San Sebastian y no puedo estar mas satisfecho con el servicio recibido. Su amplia red de contactos en el extranjero le permitio focalizar la busqueda en un segmento de cliente muy especifico, con alto poder adquisitivo y menor sensibilidad al precio (lo que era necesario para vender mi piso). Adicionalmente, Patxi siempre ha estado pendiente de informar como iba el proceso de venta, y disponible para cualquier duda o asesoramiento necesario. Para mi, ofrece un servicio que esta a otro nivel del recibido por otras inmobiliarias tradicionales.

Excelente profesionalismo, pero por sobre todo seriedad y calidad humana

Incredible experience! Our agent was Patxi Comas - he was very knowledgeable about the market, trends, opportunities, and most importantly, how to navigate all aspects of completing the purchase...like the best place to get a mortgage, contractors to work with for renovations, etc. He was very helpful and straightforward with us on the process to find and purchase real estate in San Sebastian. He is a professional, courteous, thorough, and patient. He would respond right away if we sent him a text message or called him. We would definitely recommend Patxi and his team at Real Estate San Sebastian for anyone looking for a knowledgeable realtor in Donostia - San Sebastian.

Muy profesionales, serios y cumplidores. Buena experiencia.

Hemos trabajado con Patxi y con su empresa RESS en la compra de una vivienda turística. La profesionalidad y eficacia han sido excelentes. Recomiendo esta agencia inmobiliaria como la mejor de San Sebastián

My wife and I have worked with Patxi for the last 2-3 months. Patxi is a great professional who excels at understanding the customer needs and in offering tailored solutions along those. All the options he presented for decision making were good / great options. Additionally, he is very flexible (in terms of modes of interaction, timings etc) and a pleasure to work with personally. Finally, he has a great knowledge of the local market and depth of technical expertise in real estate processes. I strongly recommend reaching out to him if you are interested in investing in real estate in San Sebastian

Hemos tenido la mejor experiencia fuimos atendidos por Patxi, quien ha sido nuestros ojos en España, El nos ha conseguido el piso, lo ha visitado, y quedamos satisfechos con su gran gestión, pues el piso es como lo necesitábamos. Excelente. Gracias Patxi!!!!!

As an international client, I was extremely impressed with Patxi’s hands-on competence and his willingness to go an extra mile. Deeply knowledgeable of the local market and a wider strategic perspective. Throughout the past years, Patxi has become not only a trusted advisor, but a close friend, truly engaging and trustworthy. He is a great entrepreneur with superior professional and communication skillset and an extended local network, which allowed to deeply explore the market and find the perfect property meeting my very specific requirements. Way to go, Patxi! With compliments, Alex Yassik.

Working with Patxi has been an absolute pleasure. Buying property abroad is nothing short of challenging but finding a professional like him has completely made a difference for us: his extensive knowledge about the market, ample contact network, ability to connect and listen to our expectations, and personal demeanor has reduced all kind of hurdles making it an enjoyable and exciting experience. Please do not hesitate to reach out to him if you have any question or real estate need in Spain. You won't regret it.

It is truly rare to find a person these days who is so friendly and responsive to your questions and needs. Patxi is however all of that and more. He has always found properties that we loved and were exactly what we were looking for. Friendly and helpful and knowledgeable, Patxi is definitely one of a kind. He is our go to person for everything in San Sebastián and beyond.
