What do you actually do at Bettermove (in plain English)?
I help people sell their homes quickly and smoothly. I handle valuing the property, marketing it, negotiating with buyers, and managing all the paperwork, so my clients can move on without stress.
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not at work?
I’m big on staying active. Boxing, hitting the gym, and getting out on hikes whenever I can. I also love travelling and experiencing new places, and I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes at home.
What’s something people would never guess about you?
I can speak four languages, play the piano, and I ride horses. Definitely not what most people expect when they first meet me.
What’s your favourite thing right now — a food, film, show, hobby, gadget or place you love?
Right now, I’m really into fine dining and trying out new food spots. Always on the lookout for somewhere different with great food.
What’s the most unusual or surprising job you’ve ever had before Bettermove?
When I was 18, I moved back to Barcelona and worked as a VIP host in the nightlife scene.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Don’t rush the process… Good things take time. It’s something that’s stuck with me and helped me stay patient and consistent, even when things move fast around me
What’s your go-to guilty pleasure (food, show, snack or soundtrack)?
Pre-workout and sweets.
What’s one thing you think Bettermove does better than anyone else?
How quickly we turn things around while still keeping it personal. We move fast, but people always feel looked after and supported the whole way through.
What’s one thing you’ve learned about property that you wish more people understood?
That it’s not just about the property itself, it’s about timing, strategy, and having the right guidance from the start. When those things line up, the whole process becomes a lot smoother and less stressful.
What’s the most useful skill you’ve developed since working in property?
Resilience, without a doubt. Property can be fast-moving and unpredictable, so I’ve learned to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly, and keep pushing things forward no matter what comes up.
