In this week’s episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra’s flying solo to walk you through the three most important things you need to do before you even start your search.

Why? Because she’s seen it happen far too often…

• Dream properties slipping through buyers’ fingers
• Budget oversights leading to disappointment
• People wasting time scrolling portals that are already out of date

Whether you're buying your first holiday apartment or looking for a forever home, this is the no-nonsense guide that’ll set you up for success.

This episode is short, sharp, and will save you so much stress down the line.

Tune in to discover:

✅ Why relying on property portals could mean missing out on your dream home

✅ The smart way to choose an agent (and why one great one is better than five!)

✅ The one step that buyers skip - that could cost you thousands

✅ The role of local expertise and why it gives you an edge in Spain’s fast-moving market

✅ What Sandra recommends doing now (from home) before you book a single viewing

In this week’s episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra and Warner are sharing the real story behind WL Costa Properties - and why they do things a little differently.

Sandra and Warner are taking it right back to the start. Before WL Costa Properties, they were buyers themselves - relocating their family, renting, flipping, and eventually renovating their dream villa in Benalmádena.

And today, they’re sharing it all.

Because if you’ve ever wondered “Why should I work with WL Costa?” - this is your answer. You’ll hear the personal journey behind the brand, the values that shape every client relationship, and the property lessons they learned firsthand (from the ground up).

They’re not just agents - they’re investors, renovators, and parents who’ve done it all.

Whether you are relocating, investing, or just looking for some clarity before taking the leap, this episode is about understanding who Sandra and Warner really are, what they stand for, and why so many buyers trust them with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

Tune in to discover:

✅ How Warner & Sandra went from renting with toddlers to flipping homes and selling luxury villas in Spain.

✅ The biggest mistakes they see buyers make when deciding to buy or not.

✅ Why timing still matters on the Costa del Sol (and a buyer’s story that proves it).

✅ The truth about what sets WL Costa Properties apart from other agents.

✅ Why Warner is know as “King of Benalmádena” and what VIP property service means to him.
