BRAVA HOMEKEEPER supports your sale with professional real estate advice, personal attention and clear follow-up. We assess your property and organise the process so you can make informed decisions and reduce the need to travel.
Market appraisal
We assess your home’s features, location and comparable properties to help you set a realistic asking price.
Photography and property marketing
We arrange photographs that showcase your home and promote it through a range of marketing channels. A well-presented property and targeted exposure help reach potential buyers and support a timely sale.
Viewings and updates
We organise and conduct viewings, pass on feedback from prospective buyers and keep you informed.
Administration and documents
We follow up on the sale’s administrative tasks and coordinate documentation with the notary.
Professional support, wherever you are
We organise preparations, viewings and much of the administration without you being present. Signing through a representative requires a valid and sufficient power of attorney, reviewed and accepted by the notary. Any steps requiring your involvement are determined for each transaction.
We provide a professional market appraisal to help you decide on an asking price. This is a commercial assessment for the sale.
You decide on the asking price and whether to accept an offer. We keep you informed throughout the process and set out the scope, fees and terms in writing. The property owner contracts with and is invoiced by BRAVA HOMEKEEPER.

We have a house in Roses, and Valeria has been managing our vacation rental for two seasons now. We couldn’t be happier! She takes care of everything and keeps us informed. We’re very lucky to have her, and it gives us great peace of mind.Original review · Français
Une personne de confiance sur place, c’est précieux lorsqu’on possède une maison sur la Costa Brava et qu’on vit à l’étranger. Valeria est à l’écoute, organisée et attentive aux détails. Ses comptes rendus clairs nous permettent de savoir ce qui se passe dans notre maison et de prendre les bonnes décisions à distance. Nous apprécions particulièrement son suivi et le fait d’avoir une seule interlocutrice. Un accompagnement professionnel et rassurant.English translation
