The Story Behind ZigZag
Redefining the property search experience in Southern Spain through clarity, data, and human intuition.
Restoring trust to the Spanish property market.
For decades, international buyers in Southern Spain faced a fragmented, often opaque landscape. Information was siloed, pricing was inconsistent, and the "holding hand" that buyers desperately needed was often tied to commission-first motives.
ZigZag was born from a simple realization: the move to the Mediterranean should be defined by excitement, not anxiety. We built a platform that bridges the gap between raw data and real-world confidence, providing a transparent roadmap for every step of the journey.
The People Behind the Platform
Sarah Monaghan
Co-Founder
Sarah relocated to the Costa del Sol six years ago with her young family, bringing with her a background as a chiropractor in England. After settling in Spain, she established her own business within the health sector. Through this, and through family connections within the property industry, Sarah became increasingly exposed to the local market. It quickly became clear that many people were facing the same recurring challenges, with a lack of transparency, unclear processes, and unanswered questions appearing time and again. Recognising these consistent issues, Sarah developed a vision to create a more transparent and straightforward approach to property, one that prioritises clarity, trust, and client understanding. She later met Debbie, who shared a similar outlook. Together, they combined their experience and perspective to create ZigZag, with the aim of delivering a more honest and seamless property experience.
Debbie Ball
Co-Founder
With over a decade of experience as a director and owner of a UK property portfolio, alongside 20 years in the retail sector as a Buyer Director during the dot-com boom, Debbie combines deep commercial expertise with a sharp, strategic mindset. She is recognised as a forward-thinking business director with a proven ability to disrupt markets, challenge outdated models, and deliver meaningful, measurable results. After acquiring her first property in Spain in 2016, Debbie quickly identified the fragmented nature of the market. This insight led to a clear vision: to build a streamlined, customer-centric platform that addresses a critical gap in the industry. Driven by innovation and grounded in real-world experience, she is focused on redefining the property landscape—bridging the divide between data, distribution, and the end user.
