CASA-CARINA


WELCOME


¡Hola! estimado lector,

May I introduce myself: my name is Carina Braun, studied History of Art, worked over 20 years in the international advertising business and living in the Netherlands (Amsterdam). Multi-lingual education: Dutch, German, English, Spanish, Italian and a bit of French. My key qualities are: professional, dedicated, passionate, a go-getter, trustworthy, a problem-solver, I believe in personal attention and enthusiasm, always going the extra 'two miles' for my clients!

Some time ago a couple of friends and acquaintances asked me for advise as they wanted to buy property in the south of Spain. They were the ones who encouraged me to use my knowledge and enthusiasm to start a business. And Casa-Carina was born!

But most important: I have been in your shoes!
From my own experience of buying several properties and renting out our beautiful beach front (first line) villa in Marbella for years, I know that the Spanish buying process is different than it is at home. I can help and support you to remove the burden of dealing with all the issues involved, to avoid the Spanish hassle and pitfalls and offer complete guidance throughout all the necessary steps. Casa-Carina concentrates on the residential market on the Costa del Sol, between Malaga and Marbella.

I am your personal, fully independent intermediary who will set up your personal tailor-made team of professionals, such as a broker, lawyer, etc. To be clear, I'm not a broker, lawyer or notary. But I work with a selected group of these professionals, I know what they do, they are trustworthy, I know when you need their professionalism, your interests are their interests. Important is the fact that not every professional suits a client. Casa-Carina therefor selects the right persons for you. I will be your personal point of contact throughout the process: safe, clear and direct. But the advise doesn't stop with the new keys of your property. Casa-Carina can also assist you beyond that e.g. with: insurances, taxes, rentals & property management, interior design, etc. Just want advice for a specific part of the purchase process? In consultation I can also advise on specific sections.

Feel free to contact me.

Con saludos cordiales,


Carina Braun
