Barcelona, October 10, 2025 – The Official Association of Real Estate Agents (COAPI) of Barcelona enters a new era under the presidency of Montserrat Junyent, who has officially presented her new Governing Board for a stage that is expected to be marked by collaboration, transparency, and unity within the collective. With over 1,000 members, the COAPI of Barcelona is the largest in Spain and a benchmark in promoting good practices and professionalization of the real estate sector.
The new Board, elected through a process of consensus and a unitary candidacy, is made up of Montserrat Junyent (president), Joan Franquesa (1st vice president), Guifré Homedes (2nd vice president), Olga Velasco (3rd vice president), Juan Alcayde (secretary), and Xavier Fabregat (treasurer). The team is completed by the members Esteve Garcia Ossorio, Rosa Salido, Jordi Collderram, Jordi Masnou, Mercedes Blanco, Lourdes Romeo, Borja Riera, Joan Maurí, and Joan Mitjans.
According to Montserrat Junyent, “the agreement reached to constitute the new Board at the COAPI of Barcelona is not a simple pact, but an exercise of shared responsibility that marks the beginning of a stage based on collaboration, mutual respect, and joint efforts.” The president added: “Unity makes us stronger and with the commitment to consolidate an open, inclusive and prepared College for the challenges of the future.”
Junyent, who has become the first woman to lead the institution in its more than 75 years of history, has highlighted the opportunity that comes with the coordination between the COAPI of Barcelona and the Association of Real Estate Agents of Catalonia (AIC), an entity that she herself presides over, to promote transparency, avoid duplications, and generate synergies.
