Jesus, we all have a love story with Mallorca and the best way to describe yours would undoubtedly be «Love at First Sight»…

Absolutely, it was. I fell in love with this island as soon as I arrived, it was a fulminating infatuation back then, and I’m still just as in love now. Or more.

In love with the Balearic Islands in general, I would say, but this island… Mallorca, this light that we have here, this color of the sea, of the sky, I don’t know if it is our position in the heart of the Mediterranean, but I have not seen this light that Mallorca has anywhere else in the world.

I fell in love with everything about Mallorca, starting with its people. The Mallorcans have supported me and helped me a lot along my way, I feel very grateful and I am happy to live here. As soon as I arrived in Mallorca I knew I was going to die here, you know? (Laughs) I thought, «I’m not moving from here anymore», it was very clear to me that I was going to retire here.

Mallorca offers an unrivalled quality of life during the twelve months of the year. Everyone talks about the beaches, which are amazing of course, recognized for their beauty worldwide and that have nothing to envy to the Caribbean itself, but another factor that I value very much, because as a good Navarrese I am an inveterate Gourmet, is the quality of the gastronomy.

Today, Mallorca has 11 Michelin-stars restaurants, which makes the island a true paradise also for good food. And this climate, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year… for me, Mallorca truly has it all.

As a father of two girls, I also value safety very much. I can be having lunch or dinner on a terrace, without any worries while my daughters run around up and down, there is no other city in Spain that enjoys the level of security of Mallorca, and this is also a very important added value, especially for family tourism.

It is indeed an ideal place, both to visit and to live.

Plus, you have a personality with great commercial skills

Yes, because I like people and I have always had my parents, Mari Carmen and Casimiro, as two great references in my life, and this is very important.

My parents, both merchants and self-employed from humble origins and both very hardworking, have always been my greatest inspiration and my best example of tenacity, effort, daily dedication and sacrifice.

For them, there were no weekends or holidays. Mari Carmen, my mother, has always been a very persevering, dedicated and exemplary woman in her efforts to work every day of the week, without exception, always working planning and organizing at the store, while attending to and educating my sister Estrella and me.

In Lesaka, the small and beautiful little Navarrese village where I was born, my mother has always had a grocery store in the town square, next to the Town Hall, and I have grown up since I was little, along with my sister, dedicating a good part of my free time to work, helping in the store as much as I could and doing errands.

There were many hours stolen from leisure and other childhood distractions, but the experience forged my character from a young age and helped me learn and lay the foundations of a profession that is still based on good communication, close connection and trust with the client.

Among the values and principles that my parents instilled in us, they always transmitted to us the importance of work as an opportunity to progress and to open the doors to an always better future and that honesty is part of the heritage of each family.

My father, Casimiro, first worked with my mother delivering the store’s orders to the houses. I always say that. he was doing 50 years ago what Amazon does today.

There was always a hustle and bustle because friends and customers called each other with what they needed: «Hey Mari Carmen, I need two boxes of wine and this and that» and my father would load all the orders into his van and distribute them among all the houses and farmhouses in the area wherever they were, whether in Lesaka itself or in the Cinco Villas, all to give the best service and make it easier for people to buy everything they needed.

Later on, my father also opened his own bar-restaurant in the village, so I have grown up since I was a child between the shop and the bar-restaurant, always seeing people share, enjoy, interact, so perhaps it is easy for me to connect and talk to people, I am always interested in knowing what they are looking for and I feel a sincere desire to help them find it.

And that wish and goal still prevails today in your daily activity at Balearhouse

Yes, and not only mine, but that of the entire team, we share the same goals, the same objectives and the same common philosophy of operating from the maximum proximity and absolute integrity and professionalism, to continue generating relationships of trust with our clients that allow us to keep expanding our circle through their own recommendations.

For me, the team is fundamental, Ilka, Patricia, Blanca, Germán, all of them. Without a good team it would have been impossible to be where we are, that is very clear, and human capital is very important in a family business: consideration for each other, and not only on a professional level but also at a personal level. That there is fluidity between us and that we all look towards the same direction, that we feel that we are all part of something bigger, which is to contribute to make the dreams of many people come true.

When someone comes to Balearhouse looking to rent or buy the home of your dreams, we move heaven and earth to get you what you are looking for, whether it is an investment range of €500,000 or 10 million, we value and treat the dreams of our clients equally, and we strive to ensure that each one gets what they are looking for.

Integrity and transparency are very important to us, and especially in this sector, where people entrust you with one of the most important decisions of their lives, such as the purchase and sale of a property.

We are always clear in our assessment of what is being asked of us, and if we see that something is not feasible, we prefer to tell the client with all transparency that they can get it out of their heads, and we offer them the possibility of redirecting them to something else that does fit both their budget and their expectations.

Jesús, one of the most important added values in your sector is to have a deep knowledge of the market
