We are Dom and Sophie — a French couple who chose the Balearic Islands as home over a decade ago.
First Ibiza, then Menorca. We've lived the islands from the inside: understanding local market dynamics, building trusted relationships with leading agencies, and helping discerning buyers find properties that others never see.
This intimate knowledge — combined with our commitment to representing buyers exclusively — is why we created EscapeToSpain.
After years of observing how the Spanish luxury market operates, we saw a fundamental problem: buyers had no independent representation.
Even agents claiming to "help buyers" were taking seller commissions. The conflict was structural, not personal. Good agents, bad incentives.
"We kept asking ourselves: if we were buying a €10M villa, who would truly represent our interests? The answer was troubling — no one."
EscapeToSpain was built to answer that question. A service that works exclusively for the buyer, with compensation aligned to your success — not the seller's asking price.
Local presence. We live here. We know which urbanizaciones have hidden legal issues, which agencies have genuine off-market inventory, and which "exclusive" listings are actually overpriced.
Established relationships. A decade of working with leading international and boutique agencies across the Balearics means we access inventory before it reaches portals — and negotiate from a position of mutual respect.
Structured process. A background in economics and systems analysis, refined through years of hands-on luxury transactions. We bring rigour to a market that often lacks it.
Signature Case Study: A client approached us seeking a villa initially listed at €7M. Through patient negotiation and market intelligence, we secured acquisition at €6M — saving €1M from day one.
We then provided renovation advisory, optimizing the property's layout and appeal without overcapitalizing.
Today, the property is on the market at a confidential price — significantly above the original investment.
This outcome wasn't luck. It was the result of aligned incentives: we had no pressure to close at €7M, no commission from the seller pushing us to compromise, and no competing relationships clouding our advice.
Dom leads acquisitions: sourcing, negotiation, due diligence coordination, and transaction management. His analytical approach and deep market knowledge guide every mandate.
Sophie manages client experience and operations through CARRÉ EVENTS, our parent company established in 2015. Her attention to detail ensures every touchpoint — from first inquiry to post-acquisition — reflects the discretion and care our clients expect.
Together, we handle a limited number of mandates at any time. This isn't a volume business. It's a relationship built on trust, expertise, and aligned interests.
