I'm not sure I fully understand the question.
The estate agents fees are paid by the seller so it is in the estate agents interest to get the property sold. So, my concern would be that any recommendation by the estate agent in terms of abogado is not truly independent and may "skim over" issues you would like to know about.
If the query is why Mare Nostrum - well, we used them to get everything set-up etc in our initial Spanish property purchase as we were unfamiliar with the Spanish bureaucracy at the time and they sorted everything out for us including NIE, bank account etc. Of course, that comes with a fee attached but it also comes with peace of mind.
