Private Advisory for Land & Legacy
Spain · Portugal · Italy · Argentina · United States


Chapter06
SubjectHow We Work
ModelPrivate advisory
IssuedPrivately

Not an intermediary. A long-term partner.

The client does not hire TerraMia only to find a property. This sheet sets out the methodology and the business model behind that distinction.
01 · The private advisory model

TerraMia operates through a private advisory approach, not a traditional real estate commission model.

The client appoints TerraMia as a trusted advisor. What follows is a mandate, not a listing agreement.

02 · Our approach — five movements
Movement 01

Discover

Understanding the client’s vision, objectives, aspirations and lifestyle. Nothing is searched for until this is genuinely understood.

Movement 02

Identify

Finding exceptional opportunities aligned with the client’s profile and objectives — including places that are never publicly listed.

Movement 03

Advise

Providing strategic analysis, market knowledge and guidance, so that a decision of this size is made with the whole picture in view.

Movement 04

Connect

Bringing together trusted experts and international relationships around the project.

  • Architects
  • Legal advisors
  • Financial experts
  • Local specialists
  • Conservation experts
  • Lifestyle partners
Movement 05

Develop

Supporting long-term projects while protecting the identity and vision of each territory.

03 · In simple terms
A real estate agency sells access to properties. TerraMia provides:
  1. ProvidesKnowledge
  2. ProvidesResearch
  3. ProvidesAccess
  4. ProvidesStrategy
  5. ProvidesRelationships
  6. ProvidesLong-term vision
04 · Advisory engagement

Each mandate is adapted to

  • The scope of the project
  • The complexity of the opportunity
  • The objectives of the client

Depending on the project, we may work through

  • Private advisory retainer
  • Advisory fees
  • Success-based fees linked to completed projects

The financial structure is discussed privately with each client. It is not displayed publicly, because TerraMia is positioned as a private advisory house, similar to a family office.
