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

Having agreeed a sale on our property and deciding to downsize I took the advise of Michael Deborah. Deborah was very patient with me showing 30+ appointments before we found the one that was right for us and succesfully purchased.
I throughly recommend this estate agent for expats when buying as they fully understand the system here and are fluent in Spanish and English.

Can’t fault the service we have received from Deborah. She completely understands our requirements and has been very patient throughout the process with my husband and I. She has helped us identify the right area and been really supportive, guiding us throughout.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deborah to anyone considering buying in the Marbella area.

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.

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.

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!
