It is a pleasure to examine property for sale in the US multiple listing service ( MLS). Although the commissions paid to realtors is higher in N America, the market is as transparent as can be.
It has to be down to how Real Estate works in Spain, agents don’t want to give out too much information as buyers simply go direct to the owner and we miss out on potential sales!

“as buyers simply go direct to the owner”
Do Spanish agents not have a catch-all clause like UK agents, thus from my selling agent’s contract “No private introductions will be recognised.”?
