From being born in Puerto Rico to living a decade in the United States, now I bring a unique cross-cultural perspective to your moving journey with my 25 years in Spain.
With my consolidated experience as an international business consultant I have put together a team that makes buying a home to live in Spain exciting, not overwhelming.
"We dreamed of living in Spain after retiring in the U.S. Janet found us a home full of character, in a vibrant city full of culture. She negotiated like a pro and streamlined all the paperwork from abroad. Today, we’re happily settled in Madrid. She’s not just our advisor—she’s become a friend"
"Other agents didn’t get us, but SHW delivered: a fixer-upper within our budget, perfect for remote work. Their knowledge of kid-friendly areas and paperwork help was priceless for our growing family. Now we’re settled in a home we can grow into!"
"I had a clear vision but needed local expertise. Janet was steps ahead—when my perfect home appeared, she’d already prepped all the paperwork. Now I’m living the dream, and I shout their praises to everyone I know!"
"Absolutely recommended! We wanted a second home in Spain for long stays - somewhere secure yet freeing. SHW's team truly grasped that this property had to work for our future retirement needs."

American expats can only access Spain's public healthcare system if they're employed or self-employed (paying into Social Security). However, U.S. citizens and other non-EU residents living in Spain on visas like the Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV) may enroll in a special public healthcare program called the 'Convenio Especial,' which has certain limitations.
In Spain, U.S. 401(k) plans are generally treated as pension equivalents and exempt from Wealth Tax, provided they remain retirement-linked (no early withdrawals). However, balances must still be declared in Modelo 720 if foreign assets exceed €50K. Some regions like Madrid/Andalucía don't apply Wealth Tax.
Yes, a US citizen can obtain residency in Spain. They must apply for an appropriate Spanish residency visa that aligns with their purpose of stay, such as retirement, work, study, or investment. After fulfilling the necessary requirements, including the duration of stay under the specific visa, they can apply for permanent residency.
Yes, U.S. citizens and green card holders must file taxes annually with the IRS regardless of where they live. They must report worldwide income (including earnings from Spain) on Form 1040. Tax benefits like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) or foreign tax credits can help avoid double taxation.
