He is also the Vice President of the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Barcelona and strongly networked with local decision-makers, diplomats, and institutions. At The Luxury Playbook, he contributes expert insight on buying property in Spain, covering buyer representation, off-market access, due diligence, negotiation, and the financial and legal considerations international buyers need before committing to a purchase.
