From Missouri to Sitges: Securing a Family Rental Remotely
Meghan’s family were relocating to Spain for a safer, beach-town lifestyle and needed a 10-month rental. With time ticking and the market moving fast, they asked Homesmith to verify the listing and view it virtually — before someone else snapped it up.
Problem
Meghan had already completed a location-scouting trip to Barcelona in 2024 and fell in love with Sitges. Back in the US, she kept a close eye on the property portals. Rather than taking more time off work and flying back again, she wanted local support so she could act quickly if the right place popped up when the summer short term rentals finished.
Solution
We arranged a video consult to go through Meghan’s wish list, connected with the local agent and did a full walk-through inside and out to confirm the home would suit her family’s needs. Post viewing we clarified the terms and managed to secure a 10-month rental for several thousand Euros below the list price.
Result
Meghan secured the Sitges apartment she loved without having to leave the US! Giving her the peace of mind she needed to focus on relocating her husband and two kids to Spain in time to start the school year in September 2025.
