<p>Sobre brayproperties.com &#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;BRAY PROPERTIES es una  agencia inmobiliaria &#8220;familiar&#8221; cuyas raices en el mercado inmobiliario en Gibraltar se remotan a los años 80. Inicialmente especializada únicamente en la gestión de propiedades en venta en Gibraltar y la Costa del sol, sin embargo, y debido a la fuerte demanda de sus clientas, la empresa pronto expandió sus actividades tambien en la gestión de propiedades en alquiler y mantenimiento tanto de propiedades residenciales como comerciales en Gibraltar y a lo largo de la Costa del Sol.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LPA Spain management is happy to announce that Bray Properties, a long time and reputed Gibraltar Real Estate agent, has joined the LPA.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.brayproperties.com/images/main/logo.gif" title="Bray Properties - Gibraltar Real Estate Agent" /></p>
<p>From brayproperties.com &#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;BRAY PROPERTIES is a family owned estate agency whose roots in the property market in Gibraltar can be traced back to the 1980&#8217;s. Initially we specialised solely in handling the sales of properties in Gibraltar and the Costa del Sol, however, strong demand from our clients soon led to our branching in to lettings and the management of residential and commercial premises both locally and along the Costa.&#8221;</p>
