Laura Bellocchio
Real Estate Advisor
During my years as a real estate sales agent, my primary goal was to facilitate quick property transactions. However, engaging with buyers and understanding their aspirations revealed to me the profound joy and excitement they felt towards owning a home in this vibrant city. This realization shifted my focus from merely selling properties to helping clients find their true homes—not just houses.
Today, Livin’Valencia provides a comprehensive service that supports every phase of the property buying process, from initial searches to post-purchase renovations.
Since selling agents often represent the seller’s interests, it’s crucial to have unbiased professional support on your side. Our team ensures you receive trusted guidance, free from any conflicts of interest.
Buying a home is a significant milestone, but with Livin’Valencia’s expertise, the journey is much smoother.

We will guide you through the buying process to achieve an efficient result:
buying your home safely, risk-free and without the frustrations of being alone and inexperienced.

We have no property to sell or rent, therefore we are able to provide independent advice without any conflict of interest; we are paid directly by clients, regardless of who the seller is. By adopting our client’s vision, we will find the property that best suits their needs.

What we do for you
The buying process
LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
The first step involves an online/in-person meeting (depending on your availability and purchase location) where we can talk about your specifications and requirements. This allows us to understand your project, help you refine it, and to evaluate its feasibility in the current market.
It also gives us an opportunity to make sure the specifications you have in mind are compatible with what is available in the desired area.
ORIENTATION TOUR (OPTIONAL)
We will share with you our extensive local knowledge about quality neighborhoods, public transport, schooling and medical options, as well as recommendations regarding cultural and restaurant highlights, shopping and commerce, natural and recreation spots, and so much more.
It includes:
– Welcome introduction meeting
– Orientation Tour through the City and/or region of your election
MARKET RESEARCH AND AREAS SELECTION
Once we know exactly your specifications, we can start with market research, which is the preliminary step that every buyer should take before jumping into the market. The objective is to be sure that your project is viable and fits in the market.
A refined selection of areas is made and specifications that do not meet your criteria can be tracked upon visiting locations.
PROPERTY SEARCH
We have a panoramic vision of the available properties on the market that meet your specific needs.
– We have access to properties all over the market
– We do collaborate with the most reliable real estate agencies and private owners, in order to source the best properties available
SELECTION OF INTERESTING PROPERTIES
We only select properties that best fit your requirements in order to ease them the process of choosing among too many options. Thanks to our experience and knowledge of the different areas, you will know exactly if your requirements match with the preferred area.
VIEWINGS SCHEDULE
Once the selection is done, we are ready to start scheduling the appointments to visit the properties listed. According to your availability, we will book the viewings depending on the amount you selected.
VIEWINGS PACKAGE (UP TO 15 VIEWINGS / 4 DAYS)
We offer several different options at this stage of the process:
Depending on your needs, we assist you by visiting with you or remotely*.
If you are unfamiliar with the area, we will be glad to show you around before visiting the properties listed.
*In case you couldn’t be there, we will visit the property and send you a complete report of it.
SURVEY (in option)
When our client feels to have found the dream property, our goal will be to make the purchase safe from the very beginning, and that’s why we recommend a survey. We will put you in contact with a professional.
LEGAL CHECKS ON THE PROPERTY
– Land registry checks: to ensure the property description and legal owner match and to ascertain if any charges are pending.
– Tax checks: to ensure the current owners are up to date on payment of all taxes related to the property.
– Community checks: to ensure the property is up to date with payments to the community of owners.
We do not take the place of a lawyer and always recommend you appoint your own legal representative. But we do double-check everything.
