Answer

How can I verify a Mallorca real estate listing is legitimate?

Start by asking for the property's entry number and verify it in the Registro de la Propiedad. Do not pay into private accounts and insist on a notarized agreement; hire a local abogado to review contracts, and verify the owner's identity with ID and notarized certification. Look for signs of scams, like fake profiles or overly perfect photos, and seek neighbor testimonials.
