All I Want for Christmas is Casamona!

Image
This holiday season, the Casamona team came together to celebrate Christmas in a way that reflected our diverse, international backgrounds. It was simple yet meaningful gathering that brought us closer as a team.  Each team member contributed a traditional dish from their home country, creating a varied spread of Colombian, Venezuelan, Brazilian, English, Dutch, Bulgarian, Danish, Spanish, and French flavors. It was a great way to share a bit of our cultures while enjoying some delicious food.  Gathered around the table, we shared stories, laughed, and enjoyed each other’s company. The atmosphere was warm and festive, with some wine adding to the cheer. It was a chance to take a break from work and connect on a more personal level.  After the meal, we exchanged gifts through Secret Santa, which brought a lot of smiles and some surprises. We also played a traditional Scandinavian game, adding a bit of fun and lighthearted competition to the evening. These activities helped...

Casamona Internship: An Opportunity for Expanding Your Network!

Image
  Hello! I am Annemarie, I have been an intern at Casamona for 4 months and want to share a recent thing I learned while here. An internship at Casamona is not only about gaining professional experience but also about making meaningful connections and networking!  During my time here, interns come and go, and it is amazing how close you get to people when you work with them every day. At Casamona we treat each other like family, which I believe is also part of the company’s success. Working together to learn from each other, continuously bring in deals, and keep succeeding creates a strong bond that we all cherish. As interns, these good connections we create will follow us for all our professional lives, and it is even better the fact that we are all from different countries! Recently, this point was also made by Tanne, our previous marketing and HR coordinator. In her LinkedIn, she shared the following message with her network:  “ Today is the last day of my internship...

A Visit To Our CEO's Home: Learning About the Casamona Story

Image
Hi! My name is Annemarie and I recently started as a Marketing Intern in Casamona! In this blog, I will tell you about my experience visiting our CEO's home to learn about the Casamona story from the founder herself. It is a tradition that all new interns learn about the Casamona story through a presentation given by Tine, our CEO. As a new intern myself, I experienced this in the 4th week of my internship. It was a very interesting and fun experience, which helped me grow a stronger bond with the other new interns and the rest of the Casamona family. So, one morning all the new interns and I, made our way to Tine's apartment, where she welcomed us with a cup of tea and an amazing view, which we all happily enjoyed! The reason for doing the presentation here was because her apartment is the perfect representation of the apartments Casamona looks to offer our clients, Scandinavian style and cozy spaces. So now, we have the perfect example to take as a guide when we are on our se...

Marketing Interns Dive into Interior Design at Casamona International

Image
Hi there! We are Tanne and Juliana, and we are currently doing a marketing internship at Casamona in Barcelona! When working in marketing, you work a lot with how things look and feel. In the real estate sector, this couldn't be more the case. A property must look presentable before we take pictures and post them on our socials and website. This can sometimes be a difficult task because maybe the furniture or styling of the property are outdated or non-existent. In these cases, we have to get creative and use upstaging techniques to make the space more appealing. It's all about showcasing the potential of the property to attract potential buyers or renters. Now at Casamona, we are starting more renovation projects; outdated properties are being renovated and upstaged to be sold or rented out. This means that Casamona employees are a part of the interior design of the apartment. We help with the project to make sure it becomes a beautiful property ready for the next tenants. By ...

Hi! We are Sara and Yang, two interns at Casamona Real Estate in Barcelona! We would like to share some of the great experiences that we have had recently at our internship. Casamona is a real estate agency that sells and buys apartments for clients from all over the world. This week we received an exciting e-mail in our inbox from a very famous and prestigious hotel here in Barcelona. the Hotel Arts. This hotel is a part of the high-profile Ritz-Carlton hotel chain and it's also the tallest building in Spain, possibly even the tallest in Western Europe! Casamona got invited to see some of the penthouses and rooms in the hotel for maybe a future collaboration which was super exciting! On the day of the visit, the manager of the Hotel received us with a warm welcome. He wanted us to dive into this experience to get a feel and understanding of what the hotel is all about. We started the tour in the buffet area where he invited us to have breakfast before continuing the tour and headi...

3 interns from 3 different countries and how they found their way to Casamona

Image
  YANG Hola!, my name is Yang, I’ve been living in Barcelona for the past four years and came here to study Marketing. I settled down in Barcelona before the quarantine was introduced and made us stay at home for months, therefore I had little chance to go out and explore the city.   First, I started at ESCI-UPF, studying Marketing and International Business. But, considering that I just moved out by myself and had such a boost of freedom, I spent most of my time playing a lot of video games.   The act of getting involved with video games during my first year of university made me unable to keep up with my studies. Which, in some way, forced me to change universities and pursue a new opportunity elsewhere.   Now I´m studying Marketing at a private school at the University of Girona. Also, I am learning from the mistakes I made during my first year in Barcelona. After that, I decided to change my attitude and focus on making my studies a priority.   Although it’s...

 Danish university students visited us at Casamona! Last week we had the opportunity to teach a class of Danish finance students about Casamona and the real estate market as an international company in Spain. Tine told them everything they were interested in regarding the industry and the process of opening a company in Spain. They were very curious to hear about all the differences in the real estate market in Spain and Denmark. One of our interns, Yago, explained the sales process to the students. Kim told them about the new marketing strategy at Casamona. Right now the marketing team posts a lot of apartments on all the different Social Media channels like Instagram and YouTube to get direct clients from there.  Tine answered all their questions, so the Kahoot in the end of the presentation was no problem for the students! The winner got a Cavamona to enjoy during their trip in Spain. We saw that they learned a lot and we were really happy to give them in insight in our wor...
