September tends to mark a turning point for a lot of second home owners in the Region of Murcia, as the worst of the summer heat starts to ease and properties that have sat empty for weeks or months start filling up again. For those who can't be in Spain all year round, though, keeping a home properly looked after while they're away is often easier said than done, which is exactly the gap Joan's Keyholding & Rental has built its business around.

 

The company is run by André and Jolanda Bravenboer, a Dutch couple originally from Apeldoorn in the Netherlands who bought their own property on Hacienda del Álamo Golf Resort almost four years ago. After spending increasing amounts of time in the area, the couple decided to make their move to the Region of Murcia permanent and turned their own experience as homeowners into a full-time business helping others manage their properties.

 

What began as a small operation looking after just five properties has grown quickly into a business now managing around 30 homes across some of Murcia's best-known golf resorts, including Hacienda del Álamo, Corvera Golf & Country Club, Altaona Golf and Country Village, Condado de Alhama Golf Resort, Mazarrón and Camposol.

 

For second home owners in particular, the appeal lies in having a truly hands-off solution. Joan's Keyholding & Rental covers keyholding, holiday rentals, cleaning, gardening and general property care, meaning owners don't need to arrange separate services with different people every time they're away.

 

If a property is being rented out, the company takes care of advertising it across rental platforms, social media, partner networks and its own website, and handles everything from guest communication to arrivals and departures. Guests are personally welcomed and shown around on arrival, and the company carries out property checks and collects keys in person once a stay comes to an end, giving owners reassurance that their home is being properly looked after even when they're not there to see it themselves.

 

The business operates on a straightforward 10% commission based on gross rental income and there's no obligation to sign a long-term contract. Professional cleaning is arranged as standard to keep properties consistent between bookings, and the couple offer 24/7 support for guests in case anything comes up during a stay, which owners renting remotely tend to find particularly reassuring.

 

Rental payments are handled centrally too, with everything invoiced clearly, so the only task left for owners themselves is dealing with the tax return on their rental income.

 

Joan's Keyholding & Rental also works alongside several estate agencies both on and off Hacienda del Álamo, helping extend its reach further across the Region. Alongside the property side of the business, Jolanda also runs a small home bakery under the name Homefreshmaked, supplying freshly baked goods twice a week to Lochy's Bar & Bistro on Hacienda del Álamo.

 

With a growing portfolio of properties and a perfect five star rating on Google, built on feedback that regularly praises both the standard of the accommodation and the personal support owners receive, Joan's Keyholding & Rental has positioned itself as a trusted option for second home owners across Murcia's golf resort communities, particularly as autumn brings a fresh wave of visitors back to the Region.
