About us
Monapart is a real estate company founded in 2010. Our mission is to ensure that the most beautiful and special homes change hands easily, joyously and securely.
We are committed to meeting the responsibilities that come with accompanying people on their journey of buying, selling or renting a home. For this reason, all of our agents know that clients are more important than sales, and that honesty is non-negotiable.
We would like our real estate work to always be accompanied by the most interesting people and initiatives occurring within / above / below / opposite / beside the properties which we sell or rent. This is why we also talk about other things in addition to homes. We therefore educate ourselves, give our opinions, laugh, cooperate, and lead the way so that after our input in the real estate sector, nothing will ever be the same again.
Already present in various Spanish cities, Monapart is recognized as one of the most prestigious real estate brands for its innovative practices. It is taken as a reference for its digital strategy by competing companies, international consultancies, and business schools. Year after year we improve in economic results, brand awareness, recognition by industry experts, and customer satisfaction.
So, let's now imagine that you want to sell, buy, or rent a home. What would you like your agent to do for you throughout the process? What should they know? How should they act? How would you like to feel by their side?
At Monapart we do not sell or rent homes in which we ourselves would not live. Similarly, we only feel at ease among people who are able to give their best at all times, and to everyone. Here they are:
Headquarters
Albert Chiva
Data Protection Officer
Albert came to Monapart a long time ago, when the discipline on Data Protection, and Intellectual Property was in its infancy. Lawyer from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, with a Master's Degree in Information Society Law, and Auditor of Technological Environments, it was thanks to him, that Monapart adapted its operations to duly comply with the LOPD, which later became the current RGPD.
To know that our processes, our data, and especially yours! are well protected, and under his surveillance, it helps us sleep much more peacefully.
By the way, all meetings with Albert end up talking about books, there is no remedy.
Linkedindpd@monapart.comJosé Luis Echeverría
Founding Partner. CEO
An architect, urban planner, and an MBA from ESADE, José Luis says he has never done anything so well as playing as an indoor football goalkeeper. But, listen, being one of Monapart’s founding partners isn´t bad either...
He has no hobbies, and the little free time he has is devoted to his family and friends, with whom he plays football every Monday (and they call him Mosignor?). His dreams for the future include learning to climb, going for a run twice a week, writing a poetry book, inventing new businesses, and founding an alternative education school. He is clearly an optimist.
jl_echeverriajl_echeverriaLinkedinjoseluis@monapart.comMontse Calix
Administration
Are the world of entertainment and accounting, contradictory? Montse is the living proof that both worlds get along very well. With a degree in Business Administration and Management with a Master's in Marketing from ESADE, when she is not between balance sheets and a calculator in hand, she gives herself over to her true passion, theater and dance. Wait a minute! Fifteen years of classical dance with an official degree from the Royal Academy of Dancing in London are no joke.
When she's not working, she's most likely hooking up with her amateur theater company, watching Dirty Dancing for the millionth time, or cooking up some scrumptious dessert.
Linkedinfacturacion@monapart.comOlga Sala
Founding Partner. CMO
With a degree in Law from the University of Barcelona, a Master's degree in Publishing from the Pompeu Fabra University, and a Master's degree in Marketing and Sales from ESADE, Olga never thought that she would work in the real estate sector, “the dark side” after many years dedicated to literature, one of his great passions, along with music.
But the truth is, that never before has there been a real estate company with such light as Monapart. And she has fully dedicated herself to this, since she founded it with two other enlightened ones, more than 10 years ago.
She dreams of opening a bookstore one day, and buying a Steinway.
@olgasala_@olgasala_Linkedinolga@monapart.comEduard Solé
Founding partner. COO
Eduard Solé has a degree in Communication Sciences and has an MBA from ESADE. He spends his days talking on the phone, but also has countless hobbies and finds it hard to accept that there isn´t time for everything in life (he runs regularly, but also cooks, writes songs, reads, does yoga, plays ping pong…).
He is an entrepreneur, idealist, and as he himself acknowledges, a bit of a daredevil. That´s why he dreams of travelling to remote places and living unlikely adventures worthy of Indiana Jones when he is older. Although he is a bit moody at times, let's not forget that he was raised in the drylands.
eduardsoleaeduardsoleaLinkedineduard@monapart.comJaime Arribas
Copywriter
Jaime was born in Valladolid, studied Fine Arts in Cuenca, went to Lapland as part of the Erasmus programme, and now lives in Barcelona, where he is sometimes called Jaume. With so much travelling under his belt, it is no surprise that he speaks six languages! He also studied Performing Arts and Music; he has a weakness for opera and Yoko Ono.
He is full of surprises, and once went to a shop to buy himself a guitar, only to leave with an accordion! If one day he decides to get a tattoo, it would most likely be of the Hanging Houses of Cuenca. He is a cheese and salted licorice enthusiast, and whenever possible, he escapes to the countryside.
jaimecoponjaimecoponLinkedinjaime.arribas@monapart.comBlanca Guiral
Legal Director
Blanca is a lawyer with extensive experience in real estate law. But unlike the “typical lawyer”, there is nothing dull or grey about her. She is actually a redhead ;D and she loves colours and everything to do with painting, illustration, design, decoration, fashion, cinema... Speaking of cinema, her favourite movie is Denys Arcand´s Les invasions barbares, a drama with a touch of comedy that won an Oscar in 2004 for best foreign film.
She says that she is at her happiest underwater, and that watching fish chases away all of her ills. But if you sing "City of stars, are you shining just for me" to her, this will also have a similar effect.

Quality Control
Guido was born in the United Kingdom, and is of British-Panamanian origin. He grew up in Madrid until he was 16, and then lived in Palencia (where cold was invented!) for 2 years, playing volleyball for the national U19 team. He graduated with a degree in Architecture from ETSAM, and has worked all over the world: Madrid, Lisbon, the Canary Islands, London, Panama, Moscow… and as of 2012 in Barcelona, the city where he has seen his two children grow up.
Guidín (an ironic nickname because he is very tall) loves the beach, and escapes to Barceloneta whenever he can to skate to the rhythm of Cuban salsa and tropical house. He also does yoga, reads, and goes to live music venues. The Rolling Stones´Tattoo You is his all-time favourite album.

Bet Sala | La Primera
Real Estate Agent
Let's imagine a cozy living room full of books and family photos. A corner armchair ideal for knitting. It smells like Earl Gray, and the background music is White Ladder by David Gray. You got it? Well, chances are Betty is hanging around there. Unless she is not in the gym or having a soiree with friends ...
With a degree in Environmental Sciences, and another in Catalan Language and Literature from the UOC, Betty has started selling beautiful homes with Monapart because listening, empathizing, and helping people are qualities that she carries in her blood. And the trade ... you only learn it with practice, and that's where she is!
@betsalaLinkedinbet.sala@monapart.comMaría Vázquez
Real Estate Agent
Maria says she loves her job so much that her clients almost always end up as friends. Let's see, if she has been in the real estate sector for 15 years, do your math!
Her family is everything, but work is also a fundamental part of her life, and she gives herself body and soul to it. She is very demanding with the quality of the service and leaves no loose ends, which is why she also asks for commitment and trust from her clients. Always with a smile through!
In her free time, she dances tango, salsa or gets involved with various charitable associations such as Agape + or Rumbo, dedicated to helping homeless people.

Agente inmobiliario
Todas las viviendas cuentan una historia. Conocerla es clave para el proceso de compra, venta o alquiler, porque no estamos hablando solo de pisos, sino de emociones y personas. Por eso mi mayor propósito es mejorar tu vida y la de los tuyos ofreciéndote un acompañamiento cercano y empático, escuchando tus expectativas y resolviendo todas las dudas que se te planteen.
Soy un profesional inmobiliario comprometido, de los “de antes” pero con todo el conocimiento y la tecnología a nuestro alcance para ganar máxima agilidad y eficiencia. Nunca dejo de formarme para hacer las cosas mejor cada día, y mi compromiso contigo estará siempre a la altura de tu confianza en mí.
Llevo más de 50 años pisando las calles de Barcelona; la conozco como la palma de mi mano y estoy enamorado de esta ciudad y sus historias. Así que no te sorprendas si cuando nos conozcamos, te cuente alguna anécdota de tu calle o barrio… ¡tengo cientos!
En mis ratos libres, toco la guitarra, hago música electrónica y tengo un duo con mi pareja. Compartir esta afición con mi gente es un regalazo.
@torresimmobiliariLinkedintorresimmobiliari@monapart.comFabián Ostrovsky | La Primera
Real Estate Agent
Fabian is Argentinian, and on the very day of his birth, there were municipal elections in a turbulent political context. By contrast, he is a very calm guy and always gives off good vibes.
He is an architect and has worked both in collaboration and in his own office, his forte being the refurbishment of buildings. He has been a real estate consultant for some years now, and he is great at it because he is deserving of the confidence he inspires. Which is a lot.
When he is not working, you will see him walking along the beach of Barcelona, or swimming if the weather is nice. That is, of course, if there is no Barça match on.
Linkedinfabian.ostrovsky@monapart.comHernán Díaz | La Primera
Real Estate Agent
After graduating in Foreign Trade, and as a senior customs technician, Hernán worked as a financial salesman for a decade, but one day he felt the call of the real estate sector (oh that call!) and graduated as a real estate agent to then open his own agency in Argentina, which is where he is from.
He was born in Rosario, loves reggae, supports Newell's Old Boys, and LOVES football. This also sounds a lot like Messi, but do not be misled… Because if what you want is to sell your house, pass the ball to Hernán and he won´t miss the target.
Linkedinhernan.diaz@monapart.comElisabet Ruiz | La Primera
Property Management
Eli gets up with the first rays of sun, gets on a paddle surf board, and goes sailing. By the time she gets to the office, she has already lived so much longer than the rest of us, that we have barely sipped a coffee.
It is an important therapy, if you come to Monapart afterwards to deal with one of the most complex departments, the rental management department, a responsibility that requires precision, left hand, and resilience to tons.
In her spare time, and on the mainland, she adores doing cabinetmaking work while she listens to “Si mi rayo te alcanzara” by Xoel López. Such a beautiful image!
@monapartLinkedinoficina.bcn@monapart.comCarlos Torrico
Real Estate Agent in Barcelona and Maresme Sur
With a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration, and a Master's in Counseling and Real Estate Management, Carlos has been more than 10 years dedicated to the real estate sector. He knows it from the inside, the outside, and upside down, always developing his work with rigor, commitment, integrity, and client-oriented.
In his spare time, he likes jogging along the beaches of Premià, listens to indie music, and read historical fiction, and (he confesses) that eventually some quantum physics essay. But do not be fooled by his good-boy face and his nerdy glasses ... Carlos is a fan of Metallica. And he lives surrounded by women.
@carlostorrico_Linkedincarlos.torrico@monapart.comAndreu Meya
Real Estate Agent
Andreu has been an entrepreneur for many years, leading projects dedicated to photography, retail, and also home renovations. It was precisely thanks to this stage dedicated to helping people make the most of their home, that he discovered his passion for this profession.
Accompanying his clients to sell / rent / buy their home, is an exciting and responsible process, and for Andreu, making them feel supported and well advised is essential.
In his spare time, you will always see him in natural surroundings, on his bike, on skates, or diving in the sea. And almost always with background music (he was a drummer when he was young, and that leaves a mark ...).

Monapart Girona
Josep Maria Coll
Partner and Director
Being an architect, and having a master's in Real Estate Studies, Josep Maria´s passion for sustainable, efficient and customizable homes is in his blood. He has devoted a long period of his professional career to such homes, with his own company Invoci, and now also with Monapart Girona.
When Pitu, as his family and friends call him, is not working, he loves to cook and enjoys a nice glass of wine while Tomatito and Michel Camilo´s Spain Again play in the background. What a great album. He makes the most of going on long bike rides to help digest his food, and to mull over ways to transform the construction sector, favouring more efficient and sustainable building works...And so it´s back to the drawing board.
@monapartLinkedinjosepmaria.coll@monapart.comMíriam Vidal
Real Estate Consultant
With a degree in Architecture from ETSAB, and a postgraduate degree in Architecture and Sustainability, Míriam has devoted a large part of her professional career to carrying out commissions from private clients within the residential sector. So she knows how to listen, understand, respond, and meet the expectations of her clients, which are very high when they concern important life choices. She was doing this for many years from her own architectural studio, and now Monapart Girona also has the good fortune of having her on board.
Those who know her well say that Miriam has the virtue of always seeing the positive side of life. Surely this is exactly what helps her get up at 6am every day to take her dog for a walk…
@monapartLinkedinmiriam.vidal@monapart.comToni Pérez
Agente inmobiliario
Llevo más de 18 años en este sector y me gusta en todas sus vertientes: como agente inmobiliario, personal shopper, formador, team leader… Me inicié como director financiero, estudié empresariales y un MBA, pero lo que me apasiona son las personas, construir relaciones de confianza, y ésta es precisamente la clave del éxito en este oficio.
Formo parte de varias organizaciones como CRS, Realtor, Fiabci, RNAI, Trivion, AEPSI y mantengo viva mi red de contactos participando activamente en BNI, MLSs, congresos, clubs… ¡hasta tengo un programa de radio! Procuro sumar allí donde voy y por eso me llaman “el conseguidor” o “networking man”. Me pega.
Como Team Leader de Unika Realty me enorgullece ofrecer un servicio excepcional en la compra y venta de viviendas en Girona y Barcelona, pero si lo que buscas son inmuebles en rentabilidad o para inversión también puedo ayudarte. Tú pide y yo te lo consigo. Es cuestión de tenacidad, contactos, y sí, un poco de magia (otro día te cuento mi pasado como mago profesional…).
@thetoniperezLinkedintoni.perez@monapart.comGlòria Martí
Agente inmobiliaria
Tengo una diplomatura en Pintura y Oficios Artísticos en Barcelona y un máster en Bellas Artes y Multimedia en California, pero hace más de 10 años que soy agente inmobiliaria. Vender bien una vivienda también es un arte si se hace desde el rigor, la profesionalidad y la transparencia.
Trabajé durante 4 años en la Cambra de la Propietat de Barcelona y eso fue todo un máster inmobiliario porque participé en todas las casuísticas posibles en una transacción inmobiliaria (¡algunas inverosímiles!).
Hace 3 años que vivo en Girona, una ciudad que me enamora y con mucho potencial para el cliente extranjero, con el que conecto muy bien gracias a haber vivido tantos años en Estados Unidos.
La década de los 90 la viví en Nueva York y Los Ángeles y la formación, las amistades y todas las experiencias vividas allá me han hecho ser quien soy hoy. Cuando no trabajo, cultivo mis otras pasiones como el arte, la moda, la lectura, el dibujo… y es habitual verme trasteando en tiendas de segunda mano y mercadillos.

Rafael Escamilla
Real Estate Agent
Rafael has been a real estate agent for more than 15 years. After collaborating in several agencies, he now wants to fly alone, although not completely... That's why he arrives at Monapart, wanting to fly, but fly very high.
He has completed 200 homesales at this point, and if he has learned anything, it is that in this profession, one lives fundamentally on the recommendation of clients. It is a long-term career that is won with transparency, honesty and in-depth knowledge of the market and the product. He really likes dealing with people and he is passionate about this profession. But his other great passion is animals.

Real Estate Agent
A graduate in Journalism, with a master's degree in Marketing and Sales Management, and having taken courses in digital marketing, business intelligence and customer relationship management, Nieves (Archi to her friends) has decided to leave a long career in advertising agencies behind her, to be a Monapart real estate agent in Madrid.
An insatiable reader of historical novels, she says that she is hooked on watching home decor and furniture restoration videos. There is no weekend that she doesn't go to the cinema, and there is no Christmas that she doesn't watch Love Actually! And all of this, of course, with a good 70% dark chocolate. To be expected…

Juan Carlos Alfaro
Partner and Director
In this profession it is essential to be a people person, to have good listening skills, empathy, optimism, and a touch of madness. Juan Carlos ticks all of these boxes. He is the archetypal Manchegan man: good-natured, easy-going and honest, like a 21st century Sancho Panza but with a touch of Quijote.
He's a tireless worker, but when he is not working he likes to run, travel, and learn English. He keeps himself busy with books, documentaries, music, TV series, and travelling (lots of travelling!). However, there is nowhere like home. In a town in La Mancha, whose name I do not wish to recall...
