HomeEspaña is a fully licensed Real Estate Agent – enrolled as part of the new compulsory regulation obliging real estate agents to be registered in the Comunidad Valenciana.

Being a part of the API is an option taken by Real Estate Agents and includes obligations in training, experience and an extensive ethical code.
Being legally registered in the Comunidad Valenciana, as well as being a member of the API gives maximum guarantees to our buyers and vendors about our operation and qualification.
