Sell Mallorca property to German buyers
Mallorca is the one market abroad where German buyers are not a segment of foreign demand but its largest part by far. If your agency sells in Palma, the southwest, Santanyí or the north around Alcúdia, the buyer most likely to meet your asking price is searching in German, on German portals.

Who buys on Mallorca
The Balearics have the most international property market in Spain. Nearly one in three homes sold in the second quarter of 2026 went to a foreign buyer, and among foreign buyers Germans led with 39% of purchases in 2025, against 9% for the British in second place.
Among non-residents, the buyers who live in Germany and buy a second home on the island, the German share was 52.6% in the second half of 2025, according to Spain's notaries. Those buyers paid an average of €5,201 per square metre for Balearic homes in the same period. German search queries name fincas with a pool, sea views, and towns such as Santa Ponsa, Paguera, Santanyí and Alcúdia.
Why they don't find your listing today
German buyers search on ImmoScout24, Immowelt and Kleinanzeigen. All three run in German, expect a German-format exposé (Kaufpreis, Wohnfläche, Grundstück, Energieausweis where applicable) and route enquiries to a German-speaking contact. A listing that only exists on your national portal or your own website is invisible in that search.
Mallorcan agencies list on Idealista and Fotocasa, and many run a German version of their own website. That page helps once a buyer has found you. It doesn't show up in an ImmoScout24 or Kleinanzeigen search, where your mandate appears only if a German broker has taken it on at a referral commission.
How Crosslist works for Mallorca agencies
1. You send your portfolio. A CRM feed, a CSV export or a folder of exposés in the language you already use. From five properties we set up the import for you.
2. We publish in German. Each Mallorca listing is translated, restructured into the German exposé format and published on ImmoScout24, Immowelt, Kleinanzeigen and, depending on the bundle, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Every listing carries a German-speaking contact: us.
3. Your agents meet qualified buyers. We answer every German enquiry, send the exposé, screen out browsers, and hand over serious buyers with budget and timeline confirmed. Your team continues in English.
Pricing
Single listings start at €69 per month, with a two-month minimum term and no commission. Agencies with a portfolio receive a per-listing price in their written proposal, based on volume and channels.
Every engagement starts with a written, signable proposal covering scope and price. The negotiation, the notary and the commission on the sale stay with your agency.
Questions agencies ask
- Do you advise German buyers on Balearic transfer tax?
- No. Tax advice stays with the buyer's lawyer. For orientation, the Balearic tax agency (ATIB) publishes a progressive transfer tax scale for resale property, from 8% up to €400,000 to 13% above €2 million.
- Our website already has a German version. Is that enough?
- It helps once a buyer has found you, but it doesn't appear in the portal searches where German buyers start. We publish the listing on ImmoScout24, Immowelt and Kleinanzeigen and answer the German enquiries it brings.
- Do our agents need to speak German?
- No. We handle every German conversation until the buyer is qualified, then hand over in English.
