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.
I would highly recommend Dolan Properties to handle the sale of one's home. All members of staff were extremely helpful in every aspect of the difficulties in selling our home in Spain. My daughters and I felt they all went beyond their responsibilities to me ending up with me regarding them as friends.
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!
Wonderful service at Dolan Property. I bought an apartment on the Golden Mile through Michael and Vanessa, and it was an absolute pleasure dealing with them. Extremely professional all the way, very knowledgeable, efficient and honest. A premium friendly service...highly recommended. Thank you for everything Michael and Vanessa.
I sold my property with Dolan last month (March 2023). They handled the initial advertising, viewing, and the final sale documentation and process very professionally, right up to the conclusion in the notary´s office. They always kept me well informed in the process and were always able to offer helpful and pertinent advice throughout, being always available at the end of the telephone or in their office. I found particularly that Vanessa and Michael were model professionals in their business. Leonard Bruce
