Clients

What my clients say

  • “An excellent experience with the agency throughout the sale of my apartment. From the start to the end, always willing, clear, and present at every step. In my case she handled the sale of an apartment and showed a truly outstanding level of professionalism and commitment. Even after the deal was finished, they stayed present, which says a great deal about how they work. I especially want to highlight a personal gesture, which reflects a closeness and attention that is uncommon today. I recommend them without hesitation to anyone thinking of selling or buying a property.”

    Felipe AnegonGoogle review

  • “A few months ago I met Mrs. Sprengel through a contact, because I had been looking for a property in Montevideo. Since then we have been working together and, thanks to her, I have found exactly what I want! As I speak very little Spanish, communicating in German was very pleasant. All in all, I can only recommend Mrs. Sprengel, and I will buy another property only through her, because I trust her and she does her work in a TOP way.”

    Adrian MüllerDüsseldorf, Germany

  • “Both Carolina’s professionalism and her human quality made this process very dynamic and easy to go through. She did impeccable work and showed a deep knowledge of the market and how it works.”

    Giovanna GregoriMontevideo, Uruguay

  • “We’re stopping by to leave you a few lines of thanks for the result, but even more for the professionalism, responsibility, and commitment with which you took on the challenge! You truly made the difference. We felt supported at every moment, advised, and represented. Thank you so much for your good work. It means the end of a beautiful stage for our family and the hopeful beginning of a completely different one. Thank you for helping us make it real. A hug!”

    Eugenia NúñezUnited States

  • “I wanted to thank you for your work and your advice. Truly, thanks to your dedication and market study, you not only showed me that the price I was hoping to get was not the most advisable, but you also made me see what a delay in the sale could mean, such as continuing to pay taxes, common expenses, and so on. You were always clear. I recommend you as a professional and, of course, as a person, which is what matters most. Thank you very much, and I hope to keep working with you soon. Best regards.”

    Ángel GarcíaSolymar, Uruguay

  • “Dear Carolina, we are completely satisfied with your comprehensive support in buying the apartment. Above all, we were very impressed by your personal commitment and such a professional manner, from the viewings through to the purchase. We can and will gladly recommend you at any time. Thank you very much, Axel and Susanne”

Selling

Sell at a price you can stand behind

The engagement starts with a written pricing report and continues through the presentation, a filter of real buyers, and the signing. It is not a listing left to wait.

  1. 01

    Pricing report

    Before the property goes on the market, a written report reads the real supply in the area and separates the asking price from the closing price.

  2. 02

    The first month of preparation

    Photos, video, floor plans, a virtual tour, and virtual staging, so the property is ready before it is promoted.

  3. 03

    A directed campaign

    The campaign aims at people who can buy. Enquiries are filtered, and the follow-up is written down.

  4. 04

    Through to the deed

    Offer, boleto, and signing, with the negotiation accompanied.

Non-residents

Questions if you do not live in Uruguay

For anyone buying without living in the country. Residents follow the same process, without the distance steps.

Can I buy property in Uruguay if I do not live in the country and I am not a resident?

Yes. In Uruguay a foreign national can buy property with the same rights as a resident. You do not need to live in the country or obtain residency, and there is no nationality restriction on buying.

Do I have to travel to Uruguay to complete the purchase?

No. The shortlist is filtered by video call, and walkthroughs can be in person, live, or recorded. If you prefer not to travel for the signature, the purchase can be completed with a power of attorney. You can also travel only for the final visit or the signing.

In which currency are transactions done, and how is the money transferred?

Property purchases in Uruguay are agreed in US dollars (USD). The money moves by traceable bank transfer, with a clear record of origin and destination.

What is the role of the notary public in Uruguay?

The buyer chooses the notary (escribano). The notary reviews title for the last 30 years, checks that the property does not carry debts that would block the purchase, and holds the deposit as escrow agent.

How long does a purchase usually take?

From the reservation, or the reservation agreement, to the final deed, the title study usually takes 30 to 60 business days. The timing can shift with the property’s paperwork.

On video

Talks to watch without rushing

Three videos.

  • Carolina Sprengel speaking to camera in her video on how to recognize a serious real estate agency

    How do I know if the agency is serious?

    A short guide to recognizing serious work before you hire someone to sell or to search.

  • Interview with Carolina Sprengel on the program Casas y más

    In conversation with Casas y más

    Carolina talks with Casas & Más about the market, the trends, what clients are looking for, and much more.

  • Carolina Sprengel in a talk about the MLS system, Multiple Listing Service

    The MLS system

    Multiple Listing Service is a way of working used in the United States that I would like to bring to Uruguay. Instead of listing on Mercado Libre or Infocasas, the property would be published on a portal owned by the agencies themselves. In the United States the associations run it directly. Here it exists, but it does not work: what is listed there is shared, under clear rules.
