Eric Dijkman
“In Ibiza, every buyer has a story… and every house has one too.”
Most clients meet Eric when they are somewhere between excitement and confusion. They have saved a few listings, clicked through Idealista at midnight… and then Eric steps in: calm, friendly, analytical, and suddenly everything feels a lot less overwhelming.
Thanks to his finance background, Eric looks at homes differently. While others admire the view, he spots risks, hidden costs, and opportunities that you will be grateful to know before signing anything. And it’s not just theory… He bought and fully renovated his own home on the island. Every lesson, every surprise, every “this will take one more week”… he’s lived it. Clients love that. Eric has a calm way of speaking, but a very sharp eye. If a house makes sense, he moves things forward with confidence. If something is not right, he stops it just as fast.
With Brigitte’s senior experience as his support, he works with focus and independence. Together they form a duo that blends experience, sharp strategy, and just the right amount of humour to keep the process human.
What drives him is simple: the people. Getting to know them, understanding what they want, and helping them make a solid, well-guided decision in a market that can feel chaotic from the outside.
Eric in 9 Q&A’s
Buying a home in your own country is already a big step. Doing it abroad adds a whole new layer of “where do I even start?”. Clients value trust, clarity, and someone who actually knows how Ibiza works. I explain what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what the next step is. No mystery just clear guidance so they feel supported and confident from the first call to the final signature.
By removing the uncertainty. That’s usually where the stress lives. I handle the communication with lawyers, architects, notaries. I explain the procedures in simple words and make sure clients always know what is going on. My job is to make something complicated feel manageable…
A few years ago, I drove from Porto all the way to Alicante to figure out where I wanted to live. I saw many towns and coastal villages. Many were beautiful… but Ibiza was the one that stood out. The mix is unique: quiet mornings, wild nights, world-class restaurants next to tiny beach shacks, green hills, warm winters, and an outdoor lifestyle that feels almost unreal.
My advice? Explore. But once you set foot on Ibiza and feel that mix for yourself, you’ll understand why so many people fall for it.
Some people dream of a modern villa with glass walls and sea views. Others want a rustic finca in the campo. Some want peace, others want life close to town. Because I’ve lived both sides of Ibiza, the lifestyle and the business side, I can translate what clients imagine into real options that fit. Ibiza is small, but the lifestyles here are completely different depending on where you choose. That match is everything.
What motivates me most are the people. Everyone comes with their own story, their own dreams, their own “this is what I’m looking for.” I enjoy guiding very different clients through the island’s variety and helping them not just find a house, but the right one, in the right place.
My finance background makes me analytical and detail-focused. Combine that with the fact that I bought and fully renovated my own home here, working with local builders, learning every step, every delay, every surprise… And, I can guide clients with both numbers and real experience.
Yes. I bought and renovated my own home here, and I went through everything: paperwork, planning, builders, delays, the whole package. It wasn’t always easy, but it gave me insight you simply can’t learn from a book. Now I use that experience to help clients.
I love it. Summer is full of energy, and winter brings peace. Living here year-round lets you see the real Ibiza, the one tourists never see. The rituals, the space, the quiet beaches, the green hills after the rain… it feels so good!
Winter, especially the rainy months. I love the rain here. I even have my own water source now, so I see directly how important it is. When it rains, the island feels clean, refreshed, and completely green. It’s like Ibiza takes a deep breath and resets itself.
