We complete a small number of purchases each year, and we ask for a review once a client is settled rather than at the point of sale. Reviews therefore arrive slowly. These are all of them.

Relocating from California to Barcelona — property search, legal advice, banking and utilities

“My husband and I relocated from the USA to Spain, and quite frankly we were feeling a bit overwhelmed by the details of overseas relocation. A dear and trusted friend recommended Ronei Kolesny — and now we’re forever indebted to our friend for the recommendation. Ronei helped us relocate from California to Barcelona: from everything related to general information, search for a property, legal advice, banking, to utilities (including phone service) — even, where to shop for household appliances, groceries, etc. We are extremely happy with his services and we highly recommend him because he not only wants his clients to find the right place, in the right neighborhood, for the right price, but also he wants his clients to enjoy the experience.”

The paperwork, the permits, the departments, the laws

“Ronei navigated us through all the complexities of searching for and purchasing an apartment in Barcelona. The paperwork. The permits. The various departments. The laws. And made it look easy. I think we would have gone crazy without him! Definitely worth the money.”
