Property for sale in Malaga – please read this first and save a lot of time! Malaga estates specialists of the new generation

Property for sale in Malaga has been popular since the 60s of the previous century. During the decades the market of property for sale in Malaga has become more and more intransparent and today it can be even named ¨chaotic¨. We have been buyers of property for sale in Malaga for more than 10 years and have learnt that selling and buying property in this market is quite a challenge each time. Sometimes it seems that estate agents never learn! I am not going to sum all the frustrations we have known during the years and would like to give a couple of recommendations of Malaga estates agencies that are specialists in Malaga real estate and of one that specializes in Malaga luxury homes, property for sale in Malaga in the higher price ranges.

1. In Torrox-Costa, perhaps an old-fashioned website yet a well-organized Malaga estates agency: website

2. In Marbella and Torrox-Costa, a Malaga estates agency specialized in property for sale in Malaga province more on the east side in areas like Nerja, Frigiliana, Torrox, Torre del Mar, Rincón de la Victoria. Partners of the Malaga estates agency mentioned in ¨1¨: website

3. In Marbella and Málaga, this Malaga estates agency specializes in Malaga luxury homes: website

LATEST UPDATE: All 3 agencies have decided to use one and the same website from 10 October 2016.

What these 3 Malaga estates agencies have in common:

– Apart from Spanish, the English, French, German and Dutch languages are fluently spoken
– Experienced staff, no employees, only working with independent entrepreneurs each of them having more than 10 years of experience in Malaga real estate and many more years in international business in general
– Entrepreneurs classified as ¨the new generation¨: professionals that have a dream to bring Spanish businesses to a higher level stopping corruption forever and giving the customer service every buyer of property for sale in Malaga deserves.

Nederland, het Nederlands Elftal, Oranje, WIJ dus – wat gaan we maandag 13 juni om 21.00 uur doen?

Als ik de reportages bij NOS Studio France beschouw, blijkt dat het zowel nationaal als internationaal nog niet tot iedereen is doorgedrongen. Het is echter waar… Nederland, het Nederlands Elftal, Oranje, ¨WIJ¨ dus: we doen niet mee aan het Europees Kampioenschap voetbal in Frankrijk.

Gedurende de afgelopen weken hebben Johnny Heitinga, Jan Smit, Mario Been en Victor Reinier op een ludieke wijze diepgaand onderzoek gedaan naar welk land we het beste kunnen ondersteunen.

Het ons geliefde Spanje scoorde een goede tweede plaats. Maarreh…. waren het niet de Spanjaarden die ervoor verantwoordelijk waren dat wij op het vorige EK dat gehouden werd in Frankrijk – dat van 1984 – ook niet aanwezig waren? Ik herinner me een 12-1 overwinning van Spanje op Malta op een koude decemberavond in 1983. Een bittere pil voor Oranje toentertijd. Maar wat waren we blij dat hetzelfde Spanje in de groepsfase de Mannschaft uitschakelde door een rake kopbal van Maceda in de laatste minuut, op aangeven van Señor. Het team van o.a. Arconada, Camacho, Gordillo, Maceda, Señor, ¨el lobo¨ Carrasco en Santillana verloor uiteindelijk de finale van de Fransen dankzij een sterk middenveld met Platini, Giresse en Tigana.

Zonder enige twijfel is uit het bovengenoemde ludieke onderzoek komen vast te staan dat we het beste de Rode Duivels kunnen ondersteunen. OK, ze hebben ons een keer door een laat doelpunt van George Grün in de weg gestaan naar een WK in 1986, maar voor de rest komt deze ploeg op veel punten wellicht nog het dichtst bij ¨ons Oranje¨.

Maandag 13 juni om 21.00 uur zit ik in ieder geval bij De Oranjerie in Torrox-Costa om de Belgen aan te moedigen! Het wordt vast gezellig net als altijd bij Henny en Armand. En mocht de wedstrijd niks worden, dan hebben we altijd nog de bitterballen, sateh, spareribs, goed bier en uitstekende wijnen! Italiani benvenuti!!

Overigens ben ik eigenlijk vrij neutraal hoor, ik heb immers een Oranje hart. Dat de beste moge winnen ;-).

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol – lees hier wat wij voor u kunnen betekenen – Nederlandse makelaar Costa del Sol

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol

    Aangenaam kennis te maken! Wij zijn de Nederlandse makelaar Malaga en Costa del Sol. Een nieuw makelaarskantoor dat bestaat sinds de lente van 2016 maar dat alleen bestaat uit doorgewinterde en ervaren ondernemers. Mensen met een gewone achtergrond, misschien net als die van u. Maar ook mensen die al minstens 10 jaar in Spanje wonen en er succesvol zaken hebben gedaan en een betrouwbaar netwerk van professionals om zich heen hebben gebouwd. Hiermee onderscheiden wij ons dan ook: wij zijn niet slechts één van de vele ¨inmobiliarias¨! Wij waren ooit zelf buitenlandse huizenkopers in Spanje en kennen alle frustraties die een woningaankoop in Spanje met zich kan meebrengen. Ons doel is om deze frustraties – met uw hulp – tot een minimum te beperken.

    Klikt u hier om een deel van ons aanbod te bekijken.

    Ons team wordt geleid door JM van Dolder. Alles bij elkaar hebben we decennialange ervaring met woningverkopen zowel herverkoop van woningen als nieuwbouw aan de Costa del Sol.

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Marbella

    JM van Dolder: ¨Sinds eind 2015 hebben wij een hele duidelijke trend geconstateerd dat kopers weer investeren aan de Costa del Sol. Voor wat betreft Marbella is dit vooral nieuwbouw. Marbella is populairder dan ooit en in het bijzonder nieuwbouw in de prijscategorie 1 miljoen – 2,5 miljoen Euro gaat als warme broodjes over de toonbank. Sommige mensen kopen simpelweg op basis van de tekeningen terwijl er nog geen steen is gelegd¨. Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: wij helpen u met het kopen van uw woning in Marbella.

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Torrox

    In vergelijking met Marbella wordt er in Torrox veel minder nieuwbouw aangeboden. Hier gaat het meer om bestaande woningen. Torrox wordt steeds populairder. Waar vroeger naast de Spanjaarden vooral Duitse gepensioneerden de plaats bevolkten, is dit heden ten dage veelzijdiger geworden. Het lokale bestuur van Torrox onder leiding van burgemeester Óscar Medina España investeert veel tijd, energie en geld in het welzijn van de gemeente. Projectleider Sandra Extremera heeft een project dat al 30 jaar op de plank lag, eindelijk mogen starten: het verbeteren van de kwaliteit van het strand door de bouw van 2 pieren. Inmiddels is het dubbele aantal FTE ingezet om ervoor te zorgen dat beide pieren deze zomer klaar zijn. Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: niet direct te vinden in Torrox maar gelukkig hebben wij er veel andere types woningen te koop staan van eenvoudige appartementen tot luxe villa´s in het buitengebied.

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Nerja

    Kent u Nerja al? Een typisch wit Spaans dorp in het oosten van de Costa del Sol. Een autentiek dorp dat haar eigen karakter behouden heeft maar waar u ook alles vindt wat u als moderne toerist of resident nodig heeft. Nerja is ook de plek waar de Sierra de Alhama, Tejeda en Almijara de Middellandse Zee treffen. Vergeleken met Torrox is er in Nerja een groter maar ook duurder aanbod te vinden aan diverse woningen van appartmenten tot luxe villa´s in de prijscategorie over de 2 miljoen Euro. Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: niet direct te vinden in Nerja maar de alternatieven zijn zeer kwalitatief in wijken als Punta Lara en San Rafael.

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol in Frigiliana

    Frigiliana is de parel van de Costa del Sol. Niet voor niets is het al driemaal uitgeroepen tot mooiste dorp van Spanje! Frigiliana biedt de ideale mix tussen het leven aan de kust en het meer traditionele leven landinwaarts. Mensen van over de hele wereld bezoeken Frigiliana en veel mensen verwezenlijken er hun droom door er te blijven. Inzake nieuwbouw Costa del Sol: net als in Nerja en Torrox past nieuwbouw niet echt bij het karakter van de plaatsen. Maar ook in Frigiliana zijn er genoeg alternatieven te vinden van idyllische dorpshuizen tot luxueuze paleizen.

    Nieuwbouw Costa del Sol kunnen wij u overigens wel bieden RONDOM de plaatsen Nerja en Torrox. Bij Torrox hebben wij al woningen met 3 slaapkamers, 3 badkamers en 3 terrassen vanaf 159.900 Euro. Maar voor de grote en meer prestigieuze projecten rijden wij u ook graag naar Marbella!

      Malaga Estates – read this first and understand why people choose Malaga Costa del Sol Property

      Malaga estates are currently very popular and it appears that they have been more popular than ever. Would this be thanks to the fantastic climate? Or would this be thanks to the life that we live outside rather than inside our Malaga estates? Or perhaps thanks to the fact that we have the ideal combination of sun, sea and mountains which gives us that unique possibility to combine winter sports in Sierra Nevada with beach life at the same time! What is sure that since December 2015 we have seen a very clear trend that there is a big category of buyers looking for Malaga estates.

      Are you a buyer looking for Malaga estates? You deserve the highest service possible in order to save yourself valuable time.

      Interesting link to our partner´s website Malaga Estates, category Malaga Luxury Homes.
      Please click this link to see part of our portfolio of Malaga estates, category Malaga Costa del Sol property.

      We are a new agency yet full of experienced international professionals in the area of Malaga estates. First of all: in the past we were Malaga estates buyers ourselves! And to be honest: all of us faced a couple of frustrations when buying Malaga estates in the past. For this reason we defined our clear objective, wanting to realize our dream to make the Malaga estates market much more transparent for you. Our business is based on mutual commitment between ourselves and you as a buyer. If you choose for us, we can help you making this chaotic Malaga estates market as transparent as you need. The team is lead by Elsa Rodríguez, Juan Carlos García and JM van Dolder, all individual entrepreneurs forming a team and offering a service that is far beyond local average. English, Spanish, German, French and Dutch are spoken fluently.

      As mentioned above the Malaga estates market has always been a bit chaotic. And there are reasons for this. In the first place there is a lot of movement on this market. In the second place, in Spain any estate agent or even any private person can offer all the same properties subject to their agreement with the property owner. Some vendors of Malaga estates think that the more people they contract, the quicker the sale will be realised. Unfortunately it has been proven in many cases that this is not true.

      We as specialists in Malaga estates have made some structure in this market. First of all we simply try to get as much as Malaga estates for sale in exclusiveness. More and more property vendors find us because they have seen our results based on doing things differently. They have seen that our investments in marketing communication channels and research and development have given positive results. In second place we commit to our buyers if they commit to us, the mutual commitment our business is based on as I also mentioned above. One thing that is very important when buying Malaga estates is Plan – Do – Act. Given the character of most of our current buyers, they understand what this means and I am sure that will understand what this means as well! On today´s market of Malaga estates it is no use viewing properties without knowing yet if you can get the necessary money or without knowing yet what exactly you are looking for. We are here to help with both things: first of all we will listen to your needs and requirements and in second place – should you need a mortgage in Spain – we can help you getting in touch with the right people.

      Luxury homes Torrox, Nerja, Frigiliana and Marbella – just a small selection from agency Malaga Costa del Sol Property for sale

      A new agency full of experienced professionals in the area of Malaga Costa del Sol property for sale opened its doors in spring 2016. This new team focusses on sales of Malaga Costa del Sol property and especially of luxury homes in Torrox, Nerja, Frigiliana and Marbella.

      The team is lead by Elsa Esther Rodríguez, JC García and JM van Dolder. All together they have more than 25 years of experience in Malaga Costa del Sol property and during these many years of experience they all have constructed their networks of reliable partners and professionals.

      Luxury homes Marbella

      JM van Dolder says: ¨Since the end of 2015 we have seen a very clear trend that buyers have been investing again in Malaga Costa del Sol property. In addition we see that Marbella has become more popular than ever, especially considering the purchase of contemporary villas in the price range between 1 million and 2.5 million Euros. Luxury homes in Marbella have been more popular than ever. People even buy off-plan¨.

      Luxury homes Torrox

      Compared to luxury homes in Marbella, in Torrox it is more difficult to find luxury properties. Torrox has more and more become a niche market. It is incredible to see how this place has been developing since mayor Óscar Medina España took over the local government. Many projects have been started to improve the area. A project leaded by Sandra Extremera in order to improve the local beaches that was defined 30 years ago, finally started under this local government and FTE have even been doubled in order to speed up the project so that it will end before the holiday season. Torrox is attracting more and more quality people and the agency Malaga Costa del Sol property can help you finding those luxury homes in Torrox in that local niche market.

      Luxury homes Nerja

      Do you know Nerja? A Spanish typical white town located along the east side of the Costa del Sol. An authentic village yet with all modern conveniences people require today. A fishers village like you see on some paintings with some tourism but without the mass-tourism you see in many other Spanish coast resorts. Nerja is also the place where the Sierra de Alhama, Tejeda and Almijara touch the Mediterranean Sea. Compared to neighbour village Torrox there are more luxury homes in Nerja available for sale. Popular areas for luxury homes Nerja are located just outside the village in Punta Lara and San Rafael. Contact Malaga Costa del Sol property and they will show you around!

      Luxury homes Frigiliana

      Frigiliana is the pearl of the Costa del Sol. It has been elected most beautiful village of Spain three times already. Frigiliana is the ideal mix between coast life and the traditional Spanish inland life. People from all over the world have known Frigiliana for years and that is why luxury homes in Frigiliana can be rather easily found. Malaga Costa del Sol Property is specialist in this area.

      It does not matter whether you are looking for luxury homes Marbella, luxury homes Torrox, luxury homes Nerja or luxury homes Frigiliana: at Malaga Costa del Sol Property you find an experienced multilingual team with a mature network of reliable professionals surrounding them, in this way being able to offer you the service you deserve that is far beyond Spanish average. Languages spoken fluently are English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch.
