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

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.

"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."

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.

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!

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.
