What Lucas Fox does

Lucas Fox is a luxury residential real estate agency founded in Barcelona in 2005, operating from more than 30 offices across Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Mallorca, Ibiza, Marbella, Costa Brava, Valencia), Andorra, Portugal (Lisbon), and France, with a newly opened New Developments office in Miami. The company serves primarily international high-net-worth individuals seeking prime residential property — nine out of ten buyers in transactions exceeding €5 million are non-Spanish — and offers an end-to-end service stack that includes Residential Sales, Residential Rentals, New Developments Marketing, Property Investment Advisory, Mortgages in Spain, Residency advisory for non-EU buyers, Wine Estates Consultancy, and bi-annual in-house market reports. Its digital layer is the MyLucasFox multilingual property portal, available in 10 languages, which supports saved searches, favorites, and property sharing across the international client base.

The business model is fundamentally commission-based: Lucas Fox earns transaction fees on luxury residential sales and rentals, supplemented by professional services revenue from new development marketing arrangements with property developers. Pricing is bespoke per transaction, with no publicly disclosed commission rates and free property valuations offered to attract seller mandates. Distribution combines direct field sales via the branch network with self-serve website search and partnerships with international portals such as Idealista.

In 2025, Lucas Fox was acquired by Dils Group, a diversified European real estate conglomerate with operations in Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and France and a team of more than 700 professionals. The acquisition transforms the company's addressable scope, adding Capital Markets, Commercial Real Estate, and broader New Developments capabilities, and introduced Paloma Pérez Bravo as CEO Residential to lead Spanish operations. The company reported record turnover of €35.4 million in 2024 (announced during its May 2025 20th anniversary), up from approximately €20m in 2023, reflecting strong market tailwinds from foreign buyer inflows, luxury price appreciation, and post-COVID safe-haven demand from U.S., Middle Eastern, and Eastern European investors.
