dor personal també pot servir: si els meus amics a qui els va bé tampoc poden comprar un pis, és que estem davant un canvi del mercat. Valen tant les dades acumulades de l’empresa com el que et diuen amics i familiars.

temps que proposem una revisió de l’ús dels anomenats locals comercials, sovint obligatoris en determinades promocions. Quan una part important de les nostres compres ja es fan per internet, ¿per què no pensem a facilitar que tants locals a peu de carrer que fa anys que estan buits, es rehabilitin per a gent gran que es mou en cadira de rodes?

J.-M. U.: ¿Fins on han arribat amb aquestes anàlisis?

I. A.: En el cas de Sant Cugat, per exemple, en què tant va durar l’exageració de preus com la seva caiguda. De més de 6.000 euros el metre quadrat en el sostre de l’especulació, fins als 2.200 de fa un parell d’anys. No hi havia lògica ni per sobre ni per sota. Avui els preus ja comencen a ser raonables.

O. G.: ¿I com es resisteixen tants anys de transició?

I. A.: Anticipant-se al que es veia venir. Insisteixo que el nostre gran encert va ser intuir, el 2005, que vindria una caiguda molt dura. Va arribar fins a la pèrdua de vendes del 80%. Com que som una empresa molt implicada en la relació amb els empleats –aquest any es compleixen 50 anys de contracte de la nostra primera administrativa, i aquí segueix–, els vam convèncer que reduir salaris era millor que acomiadar.

CONVICCIÓ.

Inma i Joana amat durant un moment de l’entrevista portada a terme a la redacció d’el PerIÓDICO.

TROBADES D’ECONOMIA

Imma i Joana AMAT Gestores de patrimoni, lloguers i pisos

«Només quedaran els que saben gestionar» Dues germanes i tres exemples en un. Immaculada i Joana van heretar l’ambició empresarial de la mare , després de la mort prematura del pare, i són referent per a les agències immobiliàries, perquè contracten comercials a llarg termini. Van superar la crisi iniciada el 2007 abans que ningú.

OLGA GRAU: La seva companyia, Finques Amat, consta entre les empreses immobiliàries que han superat més bé la crisi. ¿Com ho han fet?

JOANA AMAT: Tenim un model diferent de l’habitual. La clau ha sigut la formació dels que treballen amb nosaltres, que estan en la nostra organització durant anys. En aquests vuit anys, des del 2008, hem procurat estar molt a prop dels empleats i que aprenguin a afrontar els cicles habituals del sector.

IMMACULADA AMAT: I també perquè ens avancem a la crisi del sector. Sabíem comptar grues. No enteníem que hi hagués oferta on amb prou feines hi ha demanda, respecte a les zones on sí que tenim experiència: alguns barris de Barcelona, a Sant Cugat o a Sant Just Desvern, el nostre origen. L’exemple més clar: també administrem pisos de lloguer. A partir del 2005, quan ningú intuïa el que estava a punt de passar, ja advertíem als propietaris que haurien de baixar els lloguers un 20%. Anava contra els nostres ingressos per aquesta activitat. Si algú baixa un 20% el lloguer, el nostre ingrés baixa en la mateixa proporció.

JOSEP-MARIA URETA: S’entén si vostès no són només venedores de pisos.

J. A.: Cert. El nostre plantejament

empresarial és dividir l’activitat en tres àrees. Tenim comercials que compren i venen pisos. Però també tenim dos departaments més. Un és la divisió patrimonial, que es dedica a la gestió de 21.000 espais, siguin pisos, locals, etcètera. I el tercer és el dedicat a buscar nous projectes.

J.-M. U.: ¿És el seu departament de R+D? J. A.: Sí. Pot ser equivalent al que les indústries anomenen R+D. En el nostre cas, es tracta d’una àrea que no existeix en la majoria d’empreses competidores. Es tracta de crear noves ofertes que ajudin a la nostra activitat principal, la mediació immobiliària. Com que manegem moltes més dades que els competidors, aquesta activitat també és rendible. El que es comprova que és viable, es transfereix als departaments de comercials i als de gestió d’immobles. Creem un prototip, comprovem que funciona i el traspassem a la fàbrica, valgui la comparació.

O. G.: ¿Amb tanta informació, segur que saben per què pugen els preus dels pisos?

I. A.: Quan un pis de l’Hospitalet val el mateix que un altre a Sant Just, Sant Cugat o Cornellà, com passava el 2005, vam descobrir que s’havia sortit de tota lògica. El meu indica-

EL PERFIL

Des de la seva oficina de tota la vida, a Sant Just Desvern, Immaculada i Joana Amat gestionen 21.000 immobles («peces», en el seu vocabulari), tenen 1.000 pisos en cartera per vendre i aposten pels empleats fixos i ben considerats, marca de la casa.

Si hi ha un any que marca la seva biografia, és 1952. Va morir el seu pare als 28 anys, la Joana acabava de néixer i la seva germana Immaculada tenia dos anys. Només quatre anys abans, Joan Amat havia creat la immobiliària que ara dirigeixen les seves filles, després d’una meritòria decisió de la seva mare, Concepció Amigó, de tirar endavant una iniciativa que en aquells anys es considerava reservada als homes.

Les dues germanes han superat de sobres aquella barrera invisible. Amb títols universitaris com la majoria dels seus empleats, innovació constant en la gestió (tots els rebuts es gestionen amb un programa informàtic propi) i presència pública en diversos fòrums progressistes de tota índole, sobretot en aquells en què es doni suport a la promoció de les dones amb iniciativa. És el que han après d’ençà que van néixer.

J.-M. U.: ¿I els empleats s’adapten?

I. A. / J. A.: El 2006 vam suprimir els variables en el salari. Els hem recuperat el 2015. Hem intensificat la formació, en qualsevol dels departaments, fins a aconseguir que qui estigui en l’àrea comercial pugui passar a gestió d’immobles o a projectes. Tenir empleats amb contracte estable ajuda a fer que es puguin adaptar a les necessitats. La titulació superior que tenen la majoria dels nostres empleats és clau per a aquesta versatilitat.

O. G.: La crisi immobiliària s’està superant. Vosaltres, pels anys d’experiència, sabeu que respon a cicles econòmics. ¿Quina experiència n’heu tret?

J. A.: El 2007, el mercat ja estava malalt, encara que nosaltres vam aconseguir el nostre millor compte de resultats. Però sabíem que venien de promocions d’anys anteriors i que s’anava a parar en sec. Un indici era que augmentaven els compradors que eren només inversors, no buscaven una vivenda com a llar.

I. A.: El preu del sòl no parava de pujar des del 2004. Promotors, especuladors i al final els bancs, que es van convertir en promotors, van crear la bombolla. La nostra experiència en el sector, heretada de la nostra mare des dels anys 60, ens va fer ser prudents. ¡I aprofitades! Vam ampliar al doble la nostra seu social, gràcies al crèdit fàcil.

J.-M. U: Ha quedat el dubte de si els preus desorbitats es deuen al preu del sòl o és al revés.

I. A. / J. A: El preu del pis marca el del sòl. Els usos del sòl han canviat i les lleis no ho reflecteixen. A Barcelona tenim un pla dels anys 70 i només s’ha modificat en petiteses, sense tenir en compte les necessitats dels ciutadans. L’urbanisme hauria de pensar més en l’evolució de la societat, les persones. Fa

«Saber comptar l’excés de grues ens va ajudar a prevenir la crisi immobiliària dos anys abans» «La formació dels empleats és clau perquè s’impliquin en el futur de l’empresa» «Els joves tendeixen més al lloguer. Els sous acaben fixant el preu dels pisos»

O. G.: Els precedeix la fama de trencar molts motllos en el sector.

I. A. / J. A.: Des dels orígens. Finques Amat la va fundar el nostre pare, Joan Amat, el 1948 amb 24 anys.

Va morir el 1952 i la nostra mare, Concepció Amigó, es va fer càrrec de l’empresa, en un entorn d’activitat, la construcció i venda de pisos, en què dominaven els homes.

Ho hem viscut des de la infància.

Hem arribat a ser una empresa amb tot dones, una plantilla de 50. Ja ho anem equilibrant...

O. G.: Han reconegut que la facturació, més que la plantilla, ha patit retallades en aquests anys de crisi. ¿Com tanquen l’exercici del 2015 i afronten el del 2016?

I. A.: La nostra plantilla ha variat una mica els últims anys, però la tendència sempre ha sigut anar en augment. Hi ha ajudat que, per la nostra experiència en el sector i la nostra anticipació a la crisi immobiliària, ens hàgim presentat als primers concursos que van fer els bancs per desprendre’s d’algunes de les seves promocions. Això suposa incorporar nous empleats. Tenint en compte aquestes premisses, durant el 2015 vam aconseguir una facturació de 4 milions d’euros amb una plantilla de 63 empleats. A finals d’any vam contractar set professionals més després de l’adjudicació de noves promocions de les quals es desprenen els bancs.

J.-M. U. : Això confirma que el seu fort no és fer promocions malgrat la creació de la Sareb, la societat dels bancs i l’Estat que s’ha fet càrrec dels immobles de difícil venda. ¿Com valoren la seva actuació en aquests anys?

I. A.: La presència de la Sareb en el mercat immobiliari ha tingut un efecte immediat i comprovable: dos o tres anys de paralització absoluta. Pensem que si s’hagués donat una mica més de marge als promotors, encara que hagués sigut amb quitances importants de preus, el mercat s’hauria ajustat amb més rapidesa.

O. G.: ¿Podem estar davant una nova bombolla? ¿Hem après del passat?

J. A.: Tot depèn dels sous. Si no pugen, difícilment pujarà el preu dels pisos. Però hem de constatar també un fet que és nou: els joves tendeixen cada vegada més al lloguer.

Desestimen la compra. En el període de crisi, els lloguers van baixar un 30%, s’ha recuperat un 10% des d’aleshores, i ara pugen un 3%.

No s’incrementarà gaire més. És un tendència nova que haurem de tenir en compte. H Vegeu el vídeo d’aquesta notícia amb el mòbil o a e-periodico.cat
