Boutique estate agency · Marbella Vol. VII · Autumn 2026

The right address, quietly found.

Marbella Luxe Realty represents a small, deliberate collection of exclusive homes and investment opportunities on the Costa del Sol. Few listings, chosen carefully.

A small agency, on purpose. We would rather show you five right homes than fifty wrong ones.

Marbella Luxe Realty was founded on a simple observation: the best properties in Marbella rarely reach the portals. They move quietly, between people who know people. Our work is to be those people: to know the few right homes, and to introduce them to the few right buyers.

We take on a handful of exclusive listings at a time, and we keep a private register of investment opportunities for clients who buy with their head as well as their heart.


What we do

Three ways we work with you

01

Exclusive listings

A curated portfolio of villas, penthouses and fincas across Marbella, Sierra Blanca, Benahavís and Estepona. Every property visited, vetted and priced honestly.

02

Investment opportunities

Off-plan allocations, rental-yield apartments and land with a clear story. We show you the numbers first, the brochure second.

03

Personal representation

We act for you, not the seller. One advisor from first call to notary: search, negotiation, NIE, mortgage and completion, handled end to end.

The investment register

Development allocations, before the crowd

Our investment register covers off-plan units, boutique developments and rental assets from Estepona to Mijas, each with a one-page brief: entry price, comparable sales, realistic yield, exit. If the numbers don't hold, we don't show it.

Questions

Asked often

Can foreigners buy property in Spain?

Yes, there are no restrictions on foreign ownership, resident or not. You'll need an NIE number (we help you obtain it) and a Spanish bank account. Golden Visa rules apply to qualifying investments; we'll tell you honestly whether your purchase qualifies.

Do you charge buyers to view properties?

No. Viewings and the first consultation are free. We only charge a fee when you buy, and we state it in writing before you commit to anything.

Can you help with a Spanish mortgage?

Yes. We introduce you to lenders and brokers who work with international buyers, and stay in the room until the offer is in your hand. Non-residents typically borrow 60–70% of the purchase price.

Which areas do you cover?

Marbella, Sierra Blanca, Benahavís, Estepona and the New Golden Mile, plus selected opportunities in Mijas and Fuengirola for investment buyers.

What makes an “exclusive” listing?

It means we are the only agency, the property is prepared properly (photographed, filmed, legally checked), and every viewer is qualified before they cross the threshold.

Market note · autumn 2026

Marbella remains a seller's market at the top end. Stock below €2M moves in weeks; the interesting buys are off-market and off-plan. Three things we're telling buyers this season:

  • Prime Sierra Blanca and Golden Mile villas are holding value; the discount stories are elsewhere.
  • Off-plan pricing in Estepona is still 12–18% below comparable completed stock.
  • Rental yields on well-located apartments are running at 5–7% gross with strong summer demand.

Arrive as a client, leave as a neighbour.

Tell us what you're looking for, a home, a yield, or both, and we'll come back within one working day with an honest view.
