§ II · What we do
Four ways we work.
01 / Buy Comprar
Buying in Cuenca, two paths to choose
Browse our current listings, or engage us as your buyer's agent for full-market access. The standard market shows you only what the listing agents will share. We work the other way, on your side of the table.
- ✦Our current listings
- ✦Buyer's agent service
- ✦Escrituras & notaría
02 / Long-term rent Arriendo
Vetted long-term rentals, 6 to 12 month leases
The majority of the Cuenca rental market. Most newcomers lose money in the contract; we translate, negotiate, and keep a shortlist of landlords who behave when something breaks.
- ✦Lease translation + negotiation
- ✦Neighborhood matching
- ✦Furnished & unfurnished

03 / Short-term rent Corto plazo
Week-to-month stays, hosted by us
Airbnb-style, but with a local team answering the phone. One-week minimum. We host most of the inventory ourselves: check-in, cleaning, the tank-full-of-hot-water call at 9pm.
- ✦1-week minimum
- ✦In-house hosting & ops
- ✦Landing-softly stays

04 / Sell Vender

- ✦Honest market pricing
- ✦In-house photography
- ✦Bilingual listings
