Our history
The founding of Max Ricart
Sebastián Ricart entered the Barcelona real estate sector in 1998, at the luxury property developer LuxHabitat. For over a decade, he learned the exclusive housing market from the inside. In 2012, he took the definitive step and created Max Ricart together with his wife, Carolina Cendra.
The idea was clear: a boutique agency focused solely on luxury properties. Sebastián and Carolina wanted to offer personal and direct treatment, with a single person in charge of each operation. That model, close and specialised, has defined Max Ricart from the first day.
Specialists in Barcelona luxury
Max Ricart is exclusively dedicated to high-end property in Barcelona's prime districts. That concentration defines the agency. It is not a volume real estate agency: it is a boutique that works in a specific market and knows it thoroughly.
The portfolio covers exclusive villas, flats, duplexes, and luxury penthouses, and properties in modernist, stately, and unique buildings. It also includes commercial assets: premises, offices, and buildings. Each typology demands specific knowledge of the market and the buyer who seeks it.
The territory is equally specific. Max Ricart operates in Pedralbes, the Zona Alta, Paseo de Gracia, and the surroundings of La Rambla, and in the Eixample, Les Corts, and Ciutat Vella districts. These are the areas of highest value in the city.
That approach connects with an international service model. The agency serves national and international clients in their own language —English, Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, and more—, with the close and personalised treatment of a boutique and the level of service expected by a high-net-worth buyer.
From new boutique to benchmark of luxury in Barcelona
In 2022, Max Ricart opened its second office in the Eixample, next to Paseo de Gracia. The first remains in Turó Park, in the heart of the Zona Alta. Two offices in the areas of highest value in the city.
Specialization in exclusive properties has received recognition at the highest level. A study by the University of Barcelona, presented by sociologist Cristina López Villanueva, analyzed high-standing rentals in the Dreta de l'Eixample. Max Ricart concentrated 30% of the analyzed portfolio, ahead of Engel & Völkers and AProperties.
Beyond transactions, Max Ricart maintains close ties with the high-net-worth community of Barcelona: private schools, private banking, golf clubs, and high-society circles. The agency regularly participates in talks and sector events, collected on our press and appearances page.
At the end of the second quarter of 2026, the agency closed sales, rental, and off-market operations worth 40 million euros.
That same journey led La Vanguardia to describe Max Ricart as the "benchmark boutique real estate agency in Barcelona". The project that Sebastián Ricart and Carolina Cendra founded in 2012 is today just that.
Our management team
Max Ricart concentrates the management of each operation in three people. The founders, Sebastián Ricart and Carolina Cendra, have directed the agency since 2012 together with the commercial director, Mohammad Butt. This model maintains the direct treatment that defines the boutique: the one who decides is the one who attends to the client.
Sebastián Ricart
Sebastián Ricart is the founder and owner of Max Ricart. He has worked in the Barcelona real estate sector since 1998 and created the agency in 2012. He directs the strategic planning of the business and participates in the negotiations and transactions of the exclusive property portfolio.
Carolina Cendra
Carolina Cendra is the co-founder and CEO of Max Ricart. She is a joint proxy for Max Ricart Property SL and created the agency together with Sebastián Ricart in 2012. Before dedicating herself to the real estate sector, she developed her career in the corporate world. She advises clients directly throughout each operation.
Mohammad Butt
Mohammad Butt is the commercial director of Max Ricart and joined in 2026. He has more than 10 years of experience in the luxury real estate sector in Spain and the UK, and was previously the commercial director of the Barcelona office of one of the main international real estate agencies, where he worked since 2017. He began his career in the financial sector in London. He speaks English and Spanish.
