Since its origins, Germán Casaseca has committed to service diversification and the development of the Advisory Services department. As a member of VRG, we are committed to our clients’ trajectory and business development through advisory, valuation, and analysis services in the real estate, financial, and industrial fields.
Gesvalt is an independent company registered with the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and approved by the Consultative Board of the Ministry of Economy and Finance and by the Bank of Spain as an Appraisal Company for assets securing mortgage loans.
Our partnership with VRG, our extensive professional experience, a team of highly qualified professionals, and the firm commitment to offer the highest-quality services are the keys to becoming strategic partners of leading private companies and public institutions.

A. We accompany our clients throughout all the stages and situations their business may go through.
With primary offices in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America alongside another 50+ worldwide VRG offices, we deliver a solid, fast, and highly professional response to clients’ needs related to advisory and valuation.
We are approved by the Bank of Spain, registered with the CNMV, and regulated by RICS. In this way, our clients have the guarantee of a professional service recognized by all global financial institutions.
We work for all kinds of sectors, especially for the financial one, REITs (SOCIMIs, in Spanish), real estate developers, energy, new technologies, food, international funds, and technology, among others.
Q. We see that you are very involved in environmental responsibility. Can you tell us more about it?
A. We have always been very aware of the importance of preserving our ecosystem and have been implementing day-to-day improvements to be more sustainable and respectful with the environment.
These initiatives are part of the firm’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, focused on raising awareness in society about problems such as marine pollution.
In addition to this, we have reinforced our position with the creation of a business line specializing in sustainability, complementing the CSR actions and caring for the environment from a 360º approach, both internally – with colleague awareness – and in support of ecological client transformation and, eventually, the support for non-profit initiatives promoting care for the planet.
Furthermore, we are currently obtaining the Carbon Neutral Seal, which will make us the first asset valuation and advisory firm in Spain to be awarded this certification.
