Who are we?
BuenApart, a local agency offering tailor-made support for your real estate project in Valencia.
Our story
Two real estate enthusiasts, one shared vision
Driven by a common goal, we founded BuenApart to assist and support international buyers and sellers looking to invest in Valencia, Spain. To build our company in line with our values, we made key decisions, such as limiting the number of active searches. This approach allows us to guarantee a premium, personalized, and responsive service for our clients.
While this adventure started with just the two of us, it has grown over time thanks to a network of carefully selected, highly qualified professionals. We collaborate seamlessly with them daily, forming a solid partnership that enhances the quality and reliability of our services.
With years of experience, we have been working in the Valencia real estate sector since 2018. We have learned to navigate the complexities of the Spanish market, which is often perceived as a challenging landscape full of surprises. Our expertise enables us to anticipate obstacles—whether it’s negotiating with local agencies, handling bank-seized properties, or working directly with private sellers.
Our story is that of a small team that puts trust and proximity at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that each project is a success and a rewarding human experience.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the BuenApart agency located?
We have a physical real estate agency in Valencia, in the Monteolivete neighborhood, located just south of Ruzafa.
We mainly work by appointment so that we can dedicate the necessary time to each client, but you are of course welcome to stop by the agency directly.
Our team is available during the hours indicated on our Google Business profile, which we keep regularly updated.
What services do you offer?
We provide a full real estate support service.
We act as a real estate agency for property sales and rentals, and we also offer a property finder (buyer’s agent) service. We support our clients throughout the entire process: project preparation, property search, viewings, negotiation, and follow-up until completion.
When the client is not locally present, we can also manage additional services such as property cleaning, lock changes, scheduling appointments with various professionals, or coordinating technical and administrative procedures.
If required, legal support can also be arranged.
Do you carry out checks when purchasing a property?
Yes, always.
Every purchase is subject to thorough checks, carried out at several levels: with a notary clerk, with a lawyer, and internally, based on our more than eight years of experience assisting buyers in Spain. These checks are essential, as the Spanish legal framework offers fewer automatic protections than in France. Our role is to anticipate risks and secure the transaction.
What are your fees for the property finder service?
We do not require any upfront payment to start a search.
Our fees are set at 3% of the property price (excluding taxes), and 2% on the portion of the price exceeding €500,000.
Fees are payable only in the event of success, once the property has been found.
Do you work exclusively?
Yes. We have chosen to work exclusively, both for sales and for property searches.
This approach allows us to provide a higher-quality, more committed, and more efficient service.
The duration of the mandate is clearly defined from the outset.

The duration of the mandate is clearly defined from the outset.
How long does it usually take to find a property?
On average, a property search takes between two and three months.
This timeframe depends on the type of property sought, its availability on the market, and the flexibility of the search criteria.
What happens if no property is found?
If no property matches the project, two options are available:
- adjust the search criteria,
- or end the search if you no longer wish to proceed with a purchase.
As no upfront payment is required, no costs are incurred.
