Michael was initially involved in project management working on some highly regarded projects throughout Spain, thirteen years ago he moved on to the agency, opening the Hamptons operation in Marbella before moving on to Panorama where he was appointed Director of Residential Properties.

Wonderful service at Dolan Property. I bought an apartment on the Golden Mile through Michael and Vanessa, and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with them. Extremely professional all the way, very knowledgeable, efficient and honest. A premium friendly service...highly recommended. Thank you for everything Michael and Vanessa.

Having agreeed a sale on our property and deciding to downsize I took the advise of Michael Deborah. Deborah was very patient with me showing 30+ appointments before we found the one that was right for us and succesfully purchased.
I throughly recommend this estate agent for expats when buying as they fully understand the system here and are fluent in Spanish and English.

Queremos agradecer al equipo de Dolan Property la atención y la profesionalidad que han demostrado en la gestión de la venta de nuestro apartamento en Marbella (Malaga). Empezando por Michael Dolan, que en un principio nos orientó sobre los tramites y requisitos para poder sacar al mercado la propiedad para su venta y continuando con Deborah y Vanessa, logrando entre todos llevar a feliz termino la operación en un corto espacio de tiempo.
Queremos hacer especial mención a Vanessa, con la que hemos tenido mas relación ya que en todo momento nos atendió con mucho agrado y cercania y nos acompaño también durante el tramite de la firma en la Notaria.
Muy agradecidos por todo. Soledad y JosƩ Luis.

Can’t fault the service we have received from Deborah. She completely understands our requirements and has been very patient throughout the process with my husband and I. She has helped us identify the right area and been really supportive, guiding us throughout.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deborah to anyone considering buying in the Marbella area.

Dolan Property sold my apartment last year 2018 in only three months when I thought it might take three years. Easy and pleasant to deal with. Congratulations Michael on your 10 years on the real estate business. Looking forward to the next 10!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for me over the past year whilst my property in Marbella Real has been on the market for sale with your real estate agency. All your staff have been amazing throughout so please will you pass on my thanks to them also.

Owning a holiday home in Marbella, Spain, has been lovely but it can also be quite worrying when you live in another country and can’t speak the language. This becomes even more of a challenge when you are thinking about selling your property and wanting to achieve a good sales price.
Choosing you to be my estate agent has turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. You have always been there at the end of the phone, to help and advise me, and generally take care of all the problems which have occurred over the time the apartment was on the market. There were certainly some ups and downs, but we got there eventually. Even in the difficult times we found ourselves in with the coronavirus you still worked wonders!

My matters in Spain are now all but complete but when I am next over there on holiday, I will certainly pop in to say hello!

With my sincere thanks and very best wishes for the future.

Mr. D.H from United Kingdom, September 5. 2020
