I will help you to find and then buy your perfect home in the Marbella region.

About Mark

When we arrived in Marbella two decades ago we were confronted by arrogant estate agents, lazy lawyers and a general ambivalence. It was quite shocking and needed to change. I love our new home but I have learned a lot from the experience. My aim is that I can help you to avoid making costly mistakes.

I searched and gradually found like minds. You can now benefit from my work. I have a network of conscientious professionals dedicated to providing best of breed services to you, their client, and sole focus.

Trusted, Independent and Experienced

I consult to a leading Marbella-based, highly experienced and bi-lingual law firm. The law firm has a very solid reputation for working solely in its clients’ best interests.

My services, which continue during the buying process, are, generally, provided at no additional cost to you.

“Mark made our move to Marbella so easy. He took the risk and nervousness out of dealing with the whole property buying process which allowed us to focus on our dream home. He is so well connected that even after the property transaction we regularly enlist Mark’s help. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone making the move to the Costa del Sol.”
