Sommelier · The property sommelier in Marbella
Choosing a home the way you choose a good wine.
I listen first. Then I show you only the homes that suit you, and I tell you why each one is on the list. Marbella and the whole Costa del Sol, in English and Spanish.
The method
A sommelier does not pour the most expensive bottle.
He asks how you eat, what you enjoy and who is at the table, and then suggests the wines that fit. I do the same with homes, from the first conversation until after the keys.
I
Listen
A first conversation with no catalogue: how you live, what you value, what you will not tolerate.
II
Select
Only the homes that suit you, each with a written note on light, sound, surroundings and value. Three with reason beat thirty links.
III
Accompany
Viewings, negotiation and coordination with your lawyer and the notary, then a welcome to the neighbourhood.
Areas
Three parts of Marbella I know well, and the rest of the coast.
Every street is different, which is why viewings matter. These notes help you decide where to start.
Golden Mile & Nagüeles
Established villas, gated residences and beach clubs between Marbella town and Puerto Banús. For buyers who want an established address, privacy and the sea close by.
If it were a wine
A Rioja Gran Reserva: classic, structured, built to last.
Nueva Andalucía
The golf valley behind Puerto Banús: villas, townhouses and flats, with restaurants and international schools a short drive away. For families, golfers and year-round residents.
If it were a wine
A Ribera del Duero crianza: modern, generous, sociable.
San Pedro Alcántara
A real town with its own centre, boulevard and beach promenade, and Spanish daily life all year. For year-round living and more space for the budget.
If it were a wine
A dry white from the Sierras de Málaga: local, fresh, honest.
And the rest of the Costa del Sol
I also find homes beyond Marbella, with the same method: Málaga, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Benahavís, Estepona and Manilva.
If it were a wine
A selection from the list: for every table, the wine that suits it.

Three short steps. Your answers let me prepare before we speak, so the first conversation is already useful. If you only want the guide, that is fine too.
