Marbella's Golden Mile Property Specialist Since 2009

Our history

The firm's founder and CEO, Michael Dolan, has lived in Marbella since he was a teenager when his family moved here from the UK. Michael's late father was a well known local surveyor who was involved in many of the major developments along the coast and Michael carries on a proud family tradition as a real estate professional. Michael was initially involved in project management working on some highly regarded projects throughout Spain, thirteen years ago he moved on to the agency, opening the Hamptons operation in Marbella before moving on to Panorama where he was appointed Director of Residential Properties. In 2009, he founded Michael Dolan Estates and in 2011 opened the current La Carolina Park office under the Dolan Property brand.

What our customers think

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.

This is the third time we’ve used Dolan’s to sell our property. Having been in Marbella for many years, as second home owners, we’ve found that Dolan stands out amongst a sea of agents for its professional and personal service. As always our thanks for another very speedy sale and transaction goes to Michael and Vanessa.

"We have had excellent service from Dolan Property, and from Deborah in particular. Great communication at all times - organising viewings for us, sending accurate info on where & when to meet and never hurrying us during a viewing. Top marks all round - definitely the best estate agent experience we've had in Spain."

Dolan Property sold my apartment 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 on the real estate business. Looking forward to the next 10!
