About Roffa
Roffa stands for strength and character. It is not for nothing the nickname of Rotterdam, the city where we were born and grew up. Our company proudly bears the name of this city, because it reflects the values we hold dear. 'Rotterdam. Make it Happen.' A city known for hard work, a ‘don't bullshit but clean up’ mentality, and above all for working together to get things done. That's the spirit of Rotterdam, and that's exactly what we want to radiate with Roffa.
Our Journey to Spain
In summer 2019, we moved to Nigüelas, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. While preparing for our emigration, we came across the Spanish real estate market. Soon we noticed that there was little professional guidance available in the region. We had to figure out everything ourselves: from the legal aspects of buying a house to practical matters such as putting water and electricity into our names and arranging our mortgage. For us, this was when we decided to pool our knowledge and experience and focus on Spanish estate agency.
We started with self-study and from 2020 onwards expanded our expertise by attending various courses, trainings, master classes and training sessions. In February 2020, we opened our first office in Motril. Since then, we have also had offices in Almuñécar and Salobreña. We know both the coast and the interior of Granada province inside out.
Over the past five years, we have built valuable relationships with local estate agents, banks, architects and gestorías. In addition, we have completed several trainings and courses specific to the Spanish real estate market.
Thanks to our extensive knowledge of the region and our strong network, we are excellently positioned to provide our clients with optimal assistance when buying or selling a property in Spain.
