Kyero’s Story

Kyero helps people from all over the world to find their sunshine. We make it easier for international property buyers to achieve their dreams.

Many of us have moved countries so we know the joy of finding the place you want to call home. We also know the highs and lows involved in making that happen. Our founders, Louise and Martin, started Kyero based on the lessons they learned when they bought land in their favourite part of Spain. They harnessed what they learnt to create a company dedicated to helping people move from dreaming about sunshine to living in it.

The Business

We are an international team of 43 fully remote people located across 8 countries combining Marketing, Sales, Customer Services, Design, Development, Data, Finance and Admin. All of us are truly passionate about the vision and purpose of Kyero.

This is a significant time for Kyero & we’re evolving our proposition to test new commercial models, improve the user experience and explore new ways of working. We are confident that we have all the ingredients to not only grow, but to firmly become recognised as a market leader and do it with purpose.

We are using business as a force for good. In 2018 we became a business with negative carbon emissions. And given our commitment to helping people find a place they can call home, we allocate 1% of our annual revenue to the Spanish homeless charity Hogar Si Foundation RAIS. Kyero has recently become a B Corp company, and we hope to be an employee trust owned company in the near future.

And we’re only just getting started… with a clear vision, strong leadership and expertise across the team, we’re more ambitious than ever and have the perfect recipe for continued growth!

Our Mission & Values

To help people find their sunshine with confidence. We’re focused on building trust & adding magic to the experience of finding a property abroad, and our fully remote international team brings passion, knowledge & expertise. We’re committed to doing the right thing for people and the planet.

These are the values we live by:

• Know our customers, no assumptions.

• You can with Kyero.

• Explore what’s possible, never settle.

• Real Deal, what you see is what you get.

• One team, together we go further.
