The real estate company also plans to open its first offices in the Canary Islands in the coming months, specifically in Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife

Lemonkey is accelerating its international leap. The real estate agency directed by Ángel M. Gómez is finalizing the company's arrival in the markets of Mexico, Italy and France during 2020. Specifically, it will open its offices in the Aztec country next February by the hand of a local partner, as confirmed by the executive.

The company is also negotiating with a “very important local market actor” to open a delegation in Italy in mid-2020. The intention is to replicate from scratch the business model that the firm has executed in Spain. It also plans to open its doors in France at the end of next year.

In this sense, Lemonkey is growing on the basis of a franchise model, according to which the licensees of the brand pay an entry fee of 30,000 euros and 20% of the sales they close, with a centralized portfolio of assets.

On the other hand, the company will land in the Canary Islands in the coming months. Specifically, it will open delegations in Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife between next December and February 2020. At this time, it is selecting premises and carrying out conditioning works.

Gomez explains that his company "has a clear social conscience" and denounces that it is "very ugly to charge 5% of the transaction for two months of work." In this sense, Lemonkey has recently opened a free consulting service so that its clients “can make technical, legal and decorative consultations without any cost”.

New platform

In mid-November, the company will release its new asset search platform based on city surf technology and developed by the company Sstrategy, which has developed most of the digital platforms of Spanish banks. Thus, customers can consult all the data of the properties, including the status of the sales process, and the area where it is located, such as the average sale price or the properties that have been transacted in recent months.

In any case, for the non-digital public, the company has a specialized team that contacts its clients weekly to explain the status of their property.
