Marbella's Golden Mile Property Specialist Since 2009

Our history

The firm's founder and CEO, Michael Dolan, has lived in Marbella since he was a teenager when his family moved here from the UK. 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. In 2009, he founded Michael Dolan Estates and in 2011 opened the current La Carolina Park office under the Dolan Property brand.

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 José Luis.

We moved into our new home eight weeks ago. Dolan properties went above and beyond our expectations, they listened to our requirements, were patient, understanding and utterly professional.. Michael Dolan was a pleasure to work with, a gentleman with a brilliant sense of humour and extended knowledge of Marbella and its surrounding areas, backed up by his associate Vanessa who would address any of our concerns promptly and with such kindness. I would not hesitate to recommend this business if you are looking for your future home in Marbella.

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.

I would highly recommend Dolan Properties to handle the sale of one's home. All members of staff were extremely helpful in every aspect of the difficulties in selling our home in Spain. My daughters and I felt they all went beyond their responsibilities to me ending up with me regarding them as friends.

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
