Ton van Grunsven founded Casagalera in 2018, driven by his passion for real estate and his extensive knowledge of the Costa Blanca. With his personal approach and many years of experience as an estate agent, he laid the foundations for the agency as we know it today.

Ton has been a regular visitor to Altea for over 25 years and knows the region inside out. During this time, he has developed not only an in-depth understanding of the local property market but also an extensive network of contacts and professional relationships.

Ton has also maintained his strong ties with the Netherlands. His network in both the Netherlands and Spain provides a valuable connection between the two countries, helping to bring prospective buyers and sellers together.

Although Ton now takes a less active role in the day-to-day business, he remains involved with Casagalera. His experience, local knowledge and contacts continue to make a valuable contribution to our services.

The personal approach on which Ton founded Casagalera remains at the heart of everything we do: honest advice, direct communication, mutual trust and genuine attention to every client.

Hans van Duppen grew up in Spain and returned to the Costa Blanca after spending almost 20 years living and working in the Benelux. His extensive background in the financial sector provides a solid foundation for his work as an estate agent, where expert advice, negotiation skills and personal guidance are key.

As a professional estate agent, affiliated with API and officially registered in the Valencian Community's Register of Real Estate Agents (RAICV), Hans combines his financial expertise with his knowledge of the Spanish property market.

Hans is committed to providing comprehensive guidance from A to Z. From the initial consultation and property valuation to negotiations, verification of legal and administrative documentation, and the final signing at the notary's office. Even after completion, he remains available to assist with questions and practical matters.

Thanks to his international background and proficiency in Dutch, Spanish, English, German and French, Hans can assist clients in their own language, making Spanish property procedures clear and easy to understand.

His approach is characterised by professionalism, transparency and personal commitment. For Hans, a successful property transaction is about much more than achieving the right price: it is about trust, clear agreements and the peace of mind that every detail has been properly taken care of.
