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.
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 am grateful to the Dolan Property team for their interest, cordiality, and attentiveness with the sale of our apartment in Marbella. If at another time I need the services of an estate agency, I would not hesitate to contact them. Very professional.
Kind regards to Michael and Adriana.
My best wishes.
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.
Deborah at Dolan's was outstanding - I told her exactly what I wanted and magically she found me what I'd been searching for the last 20 years in just 2 weeks. Then her handling of the negotiations, recommendations with lawyers, builders, project managers has made the whole process a dream. Not only that Deborah is an absolute delight and honest through and through. I'm more than happy to recommend Dolan's and I've dealt with estate agents all my life - they have surpassed all my expectations and dispelled the natural fears we all have when dealing with real estate agents especially in foreign territory.
Dolan Property sold my apartment in Marbella 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 in the real estate business. Looking forward to the next 10!
