How CostaFind verification works

Two layers of verification — one for every property, one for every agency — keep the Spanish coast honest. Here is exactly what we check, and why it matters.

CostaFind Verified

The shield you see across the platform means a property and its agencies have passed every check below.

The feature CostaFind was built for

One property. One record.

On the Spanish coast the same home is often advertised by many agencies — different prices, different photos, endless duplicates. CostaFind merges them into a single verified property page.

Layer 1 · Property verification

Every property, verified

We make sure each listing is unique, accurate and current — before you ever see it.

Duplicate detection

Every new listing is scanned against the market. When the same home is advertised by several agencies, we merge them into one record instead of showing it many times.

Price verification

Asking prices are cross-checked across all agencies offering a property. Mismatches are flagged so buyers always see the real, current number.

Listing freshness

Each listing carries a last-verified date. Stale, withdrawn or sold homes are caught and updated — never left online to mislead buyers.

Property matching

Photos, address data and key details are matched to confirm that listings claiming to be "the same home" genuinely are the same home.
Layer 2 · Agency verification

Every agency, verified

Only legitimate, registered agencies with a real office and real reviews can publish on CostaFind.

Identity verification

We confirm the legal identity of the company and its owners before an agency can publish a single listing.

Office verification

Each agency’s physical office is checked and confirmed. No anonymous operators, no untraceable sellers.

Registration verification

We verify that the agency is a registered, licensed Spanish estate agency in good standing.

Review verification

Only buyers who contacted an agency through CostaFind can review it, so every rating reflects a real experience.
To become CostaFind Verified, an agency must pass all five checks:

Why we verify

Trust isn’t a feature. It’s the whole point.

Reduce fraud

Verification keeps fake listings and bad actors off the platform — protecting international buyers who can’t easily check the market from abroad.

Reduce duplicate listings

By merging duplicates into single records, we turn a confusing, fragmented market into one clear, trustworthy view.

Improve transparency

Consistent prices, honest details and verified agencies mean buyers can make decisions with genuine confidence.
