What our customers think

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.

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.

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.

"We have had excellent service from Dolan Property, and from Deborah in particular. Great communication at all times - organising viewings for us, sending accurate info on where & when to meet and never hurrying us during a viewing. Top marks all round - definitely the best estate agent experience we've had in Spain."
