Marbella's Golden Mile Property Specialist Since 2009

Our history

Michael's late father was a well known local surveyor who was involved in many of the major developments along the coast and Michael carries on a proud family tradition as a real estate professional. 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.

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!

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.

This is the third time we’ve used Dolan’s to sell our property. Having been in Marbella for many years, as second home owners, we’ve found that Dolan stands out amongst a sea of agents for its professional and personal service. As always our thanks for another very speedy sale and transaction goes to Michael and Vanessa.

I sold my property with Dolan last month (March 2023). They handled the initial advertising, viewing, and the final sale documentation and process very professionally, right up to the conclusion in the notary´s office. They always kept me well informed in the process and were always able to offer helpful and pertinent advice throughout, being always available at the end of the telephone or in their office. I found particularly that Vanessa and Michael were model professionals in their business. Leonard Bruce
