Barcelona · home management

Your home in Barcelona, cared for while you’re away.

For owners who let a high-end home on medium-term lets. We prepare every move-in and move-out, look after the guest and report to you every month on a single page.

What we do

What you entrust to us, we look after as if it were our own.

We take care of what happens in the home while you are away: move-ins and move-outs, the guest, cleaning, maintenance and the accounts. Choose one of three plans depending on how much you want to hand over; on any of them you have one named person to call.

In the home

Before every move-in

Before every move-in we do the photo inventory, the cleaning and the bed-linen laundry. Depending on the plan, we also handle monthly or weekly housekeeping and preventive maintenance.

With the guest

During the stay

We arrange viewings, meet the guest at the home and hand over the keys. During the stay we deal with their incidents, in office hours or at any hour on Delegate, and at move-out we check the home and send you the report.

With you

Every month

From Manager up you get a one-page report every month and we meet you every quarter. On Delegate you also have the KYOS dashboard and an activity report.

“We spend nothing without your written approval. When a guest leaves, we change the codes and log who holds each key.”

On all three plans

  • No spending without your written approval
  • Two quotes before any works
  • Initial three-month contract, no lock-in
  • Fixed quote, in writing
  • KYOS app, in early access

Plans

Choose how much you want to hand over.

Custodian covers the guest’s move-in and move-out; Manager, the day-to-day; Delegate, the whole operation. We don’t publish rates because every home is different: after visiting it, we send you a fixed quote in writing.

Rent collection. You collect the rent directly.

Finding a guest. We coordinate with the agencies you choose; if we bring the guest, we tell you beforehand and agree the terms in writing.

Who we serve

Owners, and also people who buy, invest or stay.

Most of our clients are owners. The rest are guests, buyers, investors, owners’ associations and companies, and each job gets its own quote, fixed and in writing.

Owners

Your home, managed under one of three plans depending on how much you want to delegate.

In short
  • For homes let at €7,000 a month or more
  • One named person in charge and a one-page report every month, from Manager up

What we do for ownersSee the three plans

Guests

You arrive at a clean, checked home, with one contact person for your whole stay.

In short
  • The home cleaned, bed linen laundered and everything checked before you arrive
  • In-person check-in and one contact person throughout your stay
  • Housekeeping, Kybernes Clean (cleaning) and Kybernes Clothes (laundry)
  • Relocation assistance and concierge, quoted in advance

Guests: we host on seasonal or residential terms. We don’t manage holiday lets or holiday-let licences.

What we do for guestsAsk about a stay

Buyers

Area, technical survey, valuation and paperwork up to the notary, on your side and with no seller commissions.

In short
  • Neighbourhood analysis based on how you will use the home
  • Technical survey and a valuation with comparables before you make an offer
  • Paperwork and steps through to the notary, with your lawyer
  • The home ready to live in or to let once you have bought

We support the purchase; the brokerage is carried out by an agent registered with the RAIC (Catalan Register of Real Estate Agents) with whom we work. We take no commission from the seller.

What we do for buyersTalk about your purchase

Investors

We help you decide what to buy and where, work out the return with market data and manage the home afterwards.

In short
  • Investment strategy: profile, areas and regulation, with your advisers
  • Return analysis with scenarios and sensitivity
  • Comparative valuation and neighbourhood analysis
  • Letting and portfolio management with a single point of contact

A model describes scenarios; it does not promise returns. We do not act as lawyers or tax advisers. If you buy, the brokerage is carried out by an agent registered with the RAIC with whom we work.

  • Community portal: notices, incidents and accounts
  • Insurance claims, building inspections (ITE / IEE) and refurbishment coordination
  • Single-owner buildings, with one point of contact

We offer maintenance management and services to communities, not property administration. We work with the board and the president and, if the community has an administrator, alongside them.

What we do for communitiesQuote for your building

In short
  • Corporate housing on fixed-term (non-holiday) leases, invoiced to the company

How we start

A visit, a quote and the key.

The diagnostic visit and the quote don’t commit you to anything, and you pay what is in the quote you sign.

  1. Week one · ninety minutes

    Diagnostic visit

    We spend ninety minutes at the home looking at its condition, the installations, the current lease and the accounts. Then we give you a six-page report with the real net rent.

  2. After the visit

    Fixed quote

    We send you in writing what we propose, what is not included and what it costs, with two options at most. We go through it together in a twenty-minute meeting.

  3. Ten to fifteen days

    Activation

    We do the photo inventory, log the keys and set up your owner profile. On Delegate, we also put together the home’s lookbook.

  4. Every month

    Management

    We handle viewings, the guest, incidents and suppliers according to your plan. From Manager up you get the report every month, and sixty days before renewal we send you the year’s review.

Terms
  • No spending without your written approval, except emergencies up to €750, and in that case we let you know.
  • Initial three-month contract, no lock-in
  • If your home lets for less than €7,000 a month or you want holiday lets, we are not the right manager, and we’ll tell you who to call.

KYOS · early access

Your home, from your phone too.

KYOS is our own app. Your guest gets in with their code, reads the house rules and sends us incidents with a photo. You approve quotes from your phone, keep your documents there and, from Manager up, receive the monthly report in it. The guest never sees any financial data about the home.

Kybernes Real Estate · one minute and eleven seconds · no sound
What the app does

For the guest

  • Check-in and check-out, with access hand-off
  • Welcome and city guide
  • Assistance chat and incidents with photos (at any hour on Delegate)

For the owner

  • Incidents with quotes, to approve from your phone
  • Documents and preventive maintenance calendar
  • Financial dashboard per property, with monthly and quarterly statements (Delegate)

FAQ

What people ask us before signing.

Custodian, if you want to run the day-to-day yourself and only need someone at move-in and move-out. Manager, if you want minimal involvement and a well-cared-for home; it’s the one we recommend to most owners. Delegate, if you don’t want to deal with anything and your guest expects support at any hour. At the diagnostic visit we tell you which one fits your home.

On Delegate we respond within two hours, send the on-call supplier and, if it’s an emergency, authorise up to €750 without asking you, and we let you know. On Manager we handle it first thing on the next working day. On Custodian, the owner handles incidents.

On Manager and Delegate, a one-page monthly report, a report after each move-out and an annual review; on Delegate, also an activity report and a dashboard in the KYOS app. On Custodian, a signed record of every move-in and move-out. And you can always call us.

After the diagnostic visit. We take into account the plan you choose (Custodian, Manager or Delegate), the home (size, condition and installations), how many move-ins and move-outs you expect each year and any à la carte services you want. We send it to you fixed and in writing: what’s included, what isn’t and what it costs.

No. We don’t offer guaranteed rent or lease subrogation today. What protects your income is rent default insurance: we introduce you to an insurer and coordinate the policy.

Yes. The contract starts with three months with no lock-in and then runs month to month, with thirty days’ notice. The exit terms are written into your quote.

If you’re an owner and your rent is below €7,000 a month, we’re probably not the right manager for you. We’ll say so in our first email and give you two alternatives.
