Spanish property broker Donpiso pledges on its website it can sell homes within 60 days. That’s possible, said Juan Luis Nolasco, who runs one of the firm’s Madrid branches, only if owners are realistic about prices and the difficulties buyers face getting mortgages after six years of falling values.

“A lot of sellers are still living in the land of Peter Pan,” Nolasco said, referring to the fictional Neverland. “The biggest problem is lack of access to financing for buyers.” Currently, it can take about six months to sell a property, he said.
