The Gran Canaria property market is international. Buyers come from across Europe — the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Scandinavia. Many buy without seeing the property in person until the deal is nearly done. For a real estate agency, this means your website isn't just a complement to your work: it's the most important first impression you make.
What an international buyer is looking for
- High-quality photos (at least 10-15 per property)
- Video or virtual tour where possible
- Clear information about the buying process in Spain
- Prices in euros with a breakdown of additional costs
- Contact forms in their own language
- Testimonials from other international buyers
Essential features for a real estate website
Advanced search and filters: by area, property type, price and size. Users who can filter quickly find relevant properties faster and are more likely to make contact. Location-specific pages: dedicated pages for Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Las Palmas, Mogán and other areas. These are essential for local SEO — "villas for sale Maspalomas" is a real search with high buying intent. WhatsApp integration: international buyers use WhatsApp; a direct contact button converts better than any contact form. Multilingual: English, Dutch and German are the three most important languages for the Gran Canaria international market.
