Boutique estate agent on the northern Costa Blanca
A home on the Costa Blanca? Wonderful.
We are a boutique estate agency on the northern Costa Blanca in Spain. Buying a home in Spain is no small decision. It has to be right — the place, the light, the neighbourhood and the feeling. But above all, the certainty that you are not running into hidden problems.
We guide you through buying your home on the northern Costa Blanca. Independently, carefully, and with our full attention on what you want and the life you want to build here.
We are the agent who understands what you need. The agent who gives you the feeling of coming home. At Gusto Casa we save you energy, time and money while we steer you through the process.
Our dedicated Dutch agents on the Costa Blanca commit themselves to your purchase, so you can stay relaxed and keep dreaming. We care about numbers, hard data and potential — and just as much about the feeling of being home. What we are after is the whole experience. As Spain's NVM- and API-registered independent buyer's agent, we always start by getting to know you. We listen, ask, analyse and observe. Are you ready for this step?

Buying your home – Dutch estate agent on the Costa Blanca
We make the difference
The investment climate in the Netherlands leaves something to be desired. With constant rain and political uncertainty, it is understandable to dream of a holiday home, of emigrating, or of building a pension through property. But how do you make that dream real?
The gems go fast, and Idealista often offers disappointing photos and inaccurate information. We help you with a strategy for a sharp offer without overpaying.
'Where do you see yourself in five years?' or 'How do you most like to spend a holiday?'
It can feel a little unusual, but that is how we uncover what you are really after. We guide you from start to finish, draw on our network, and sometimes show you homes you would never have picked yourself. Thanks to our creativity and insight, one of them may just turn out to be your dream home. At Gusto Casa we go for the whole package, from wish to reality, so you genuinely feel at home.
We deliberately take on just one buyer per price and wish category. That way we are truly there for you — sharp, involved and genuinely independent.
We have extensive knowledge of the northern Costa Blanca market, experience with negotiations and renovations, and access to exclusive offers.
Buying your home – Dutch buyer's agent on the Costa Blanca
We don't sell houses
Spain works differently from the Netherlands. There is no Funda here. Homes are often listed with several agents at once — sometimes the same home appears on Idealista 26 times. So what you see on our site is not Gusto Casa's exclusive stock; it is stock we can help you buy.
The market and the rules are different, but more importantly so are the interests. It is about money, a lot of money. That is what makes it a cowboy world.
We are your buyer's agent — an independent, honest party making sure the home you buy is not only beautiful or full of potential, but that the deal itself is sound and you know the risks that come with it.
We are a sort of buying butler. We search alongside you, do the groundwork, and check the location, the price, the legal status (as far as that is possible) and the surroundings. We have access to recent transaction figures, which we share with you before the viewing.
We ask the questions you may not have thought of, give honest advice, and help you make choices that suit you.
That way you don't just buy a house — you buy a home.
Seen a property you like? Let us know and we will gladly take a look with you.

How we work
A selection that fits you
We don't produce long lists. We pick only the homes that suit the way you live — the places where you settle, where the day starts with sun and quiet, or instead with a walk to your favourite coffee bar.
Research, done properly
We look past the first impression: build quality, orientation, legal checks (as far as they are possible up front), maintenance, noise, wind and flood zones. Everything you cannot see for yourself, we map out — clearly and in plain language.
Negotiation with conviction
We negotiate as though it were our own money, with knowledge of the market, a feel for timing and a sharp eye for value. We back it with a valuation report, so you have something solid to hold on to.
Support before, during and after the purchase
You are not on your own. From the first orientation to finding a builder, the pool maintenance, the gardener or a private chef. It all comes with it.
Search & find
Search in plain language
Describe what you are looking for in your own words and we will pull up matching listings from the northern Costa Blanca. Handy for getting your bearings — the real work we do together afterwards, in person.

Why choose Gusto Casa
- We genuinely listen — your story and what you want come first.
- We are involved and independent — not quick deals, but guidance that leaves you happy enough to send us your friends, colleagues and family.
- We share what we know up front — recent transaction figures, and which urbanizaciones you are better off avoiding.
- We keep you posted on changing rules, tax tips, new hotspots and what is happening in the region.
- We know the area inside out, from the best butcher to the coziest little restaurant and the prettiest beach.
- We make sure everything is properly checked, from legal status to rebuilding rights, so you don't lose thousands on a house that doesn't add up. Sometimes advising against it is the best advice.
- We are still here after the purchase, for questions, tips and help — or simply for a good builder, gardener or babysitter.
