Real estate agency Marbella
From Builder to Real Estate Expert: Our Journey in Marbella.
My path in the construction of residential buildings began with an ordinary working position, and 20 years later I was the director of a large construction company.
This experience gave me a deep understanding of all the processes, standards and what makes real estate truly convenient and valuable for the people who will live in it.
Together with my wife, Vlasenko Valeria, we organized a family agency, naming it in honor of the beautiful city in Spain - Marbella, where we have lived and worked for over 10 years.
We devote our time entirely to helping you find the best real estate option among the many offers on the market in cities such as Marbella, Estepona, Elviria and Sotogrande.
✅ Our company officially represents 73 construction companies that are engaged in the construction of high-quality residential complexes and villas in the Costa del Sol region.
We not only help in finding the best property option in terms of price and quality, but also provide a full personal service, including:
property tours, legal assistance, preparation of all documents before purchase, connection of utilities after the transaction, maintenance and care of the property, renting out, assistance with enrolling children in schools, finding and training qualified domestic staff and much more that may be needed when moving to Marbella.
Valeria Vlasenko Founder
✅ Over the years, we have formed a department for paperwork, which includes: a translator to accompany government agencies, a lawyer specializing exclusively in real estate issues, a lawyer involved in the preparation of all necessary documents, and a notary with whom we have been cooperating for many years.
Valeria and I personally accompany our partners to property viewings, providing an individual approach and attention to every detail.
Over many years of work, we have gained experience in the proper care of real estate so that it always looks attractive and bright, and not just in the first year after purchase. For this purpose, we have created a specialized department, which includes employees trained by us, who undergo rigorous quality control of the work performed.
Our department is engaged in professional cleaning of houses and apartments, ensuring the impeccable appearance of your property.
This also includes a rental manager, whom we provide to those wishing to earn money on their property from rent, a full range of services.
The analytical department, which includes Valeria and me and two qualified specialists in analytics by education, monitors market prices daily and conducts visits to sites for a detailed assessment.
We carefully analyze the architecture, quality of construction, finishing materials used, as well as convenience and level of infrastructure.
We never offer clients options that we have not studied.
Only after making sure that the property meets high quality standards and a fair price, we include it in our catalog and recommend it to buyers.
✅ The company has thoroughly studied each area and residential complex, taking into account all the details: where the best beaches are located, developed infrastructure, high-class restaurants, schools and golf courses, where you can enjoy peace and quiet. We know where prices are higher with low quality, where it is the opposite, where the most picturesque views from the window open up, and also in which places utility bills are lower or higher.
This deep analysis allows us to offer clients the most suitable options based on their preferences and needs.
Meeting the requests of our partners, we gradually began to provide a full range of services related to real estate. Our partners are serious and goal-oriented people who clearly know what they want and value both their and our time.
We work thoughtfully and with full dedication, paying attention to each buyer. Our strategy is focused on quality, not quantity, so we deliberately do not strive for a large volume of clients.
✅ If necessary, we accommodate our partners in apartments and meet them at the airport.
Contact us today, and we will select for you a property that fully meets your wishes and needs.
With respect and love, Vlasenko Maxim and Vlasenko Valeria!

How one of our real estate transactions went in Marbella, Sierra Blanca area:
We were approached by very nice and polite elderly people, we were recommended by a person who had already dealt with us before, he bought a small villa with our help three years ago, he lives in Norway and we service it and rent it out daily, he comes with his family on vacation three times a year.
We were asked to show a townhouse in Vilas12, a modern new, very cool residential complex in the most prestigious area of Marbella, the Golden Mile, these are essentially townhouses, but for some reason the developer calls them Villas.
We had a great time viewing, nice people, great atmosphere, views of the sea and mountains.
People liked everything very much, but they said that it was not suitable, they did not like the too modern design, namely the large floor-to-ceiling windows in all the rooms, they said that we like privacy and too open space does not suit us.
They were not satisfied with the open kitchen combined with the living room, their family has a cook, and they wanted an isolated and closed kitchen.
These were the parameters that turned out to be decisive in rejecting this interesting option.
We were asked to suggest another option.
We studied in detail every detail that should be present or absent in the house.
We needed a garage for 5 cars, 4 bedrooms, a separate kitchen, not close to the sea and not far, a new building, high-quality finishing and furniture, an elevator, a swimming pool, a Lux class level, a budget of 8,000,000 € plus.
After conducting work on market analysis, we selected 10 best villa options for their needs, three were offered for consideration, different in price, location and architecture.
A villa was chosen that we knew well and had already conducted a quality assessment on it.
After an inspection that lasted three and a half hours, they said that this was exactly what they needed.
A deposit of 10,000 € was made and we put the villa on reservation.
After that, we started preparing the documents for the transaction, a lawyer joined the case, with whom we have been working for more than 5 years and all transactions with him have always been successful.
The buyers were Spanish, the sellers were not local, we had to wait 10 days for them to arrive.
At the notary, everything went smoothly and successfully, basically as always.
Everyone was happy, both the buyers and the sellers, the buyers were grateful to us that we asked the seller to make a discount of 120,000 euros.
Our company made a gift for the fact that people chose us as a real estate agency and trusted our professionalism.
We did a general cleaning of the entire house and the territory. The cleaning was carried out by three employees of the cleaning department of our company, they:
Removed dust from all the rooms, lifted carpets, tables, sofas and chairs. Washed all the rooms, disinfected toilets and bathrooms. Washed the windows and terraces. It was a complete spring cleaning.
We also hired a gardener who mowed the lawns, planted new flowers, tidied up the entire green area and cleaned the pool.
The house sparkled, because we know how to take care of real estate and always keep it in excellent condition.
Our esteemed partners were very surprised when they saw the house after our spring cleaning, we showed you a little on video what it looks like.
We also helped people register in their new house, connect a new alarm system and a new Internet provider, found a gardener to maintain the territory and the pool, and also found a maid and a driver.
It was a wonderful experience with wonderful people, by the way, the villa cost a little over (€15,000,000.)
The three main parameters that we study when searching for real estate for our esteemed partners.
Budget
You create your own budget for purchasing real estate, with which we begin our work on selecting real estate options for you!
Of course, some buyers ask for our expert opinion on budget formation, and we are happy to provide it.
Our team analyzes prices on the real estate market in the Costa del Sol region every day. We know all the changes in the cost of real estate from developers, as we are official representatives of 73 companies.
For your budget, we create a list of 20-25 properties, the real estate on this list 100% corresponds to the market: price per 1 sq. m., location and quality that meets your needs.
From the list, we carefully select 3-5 of the best real estate properties in our opinion for your budget and present them to you for consideration.
Our goal is to choose for you the best real estate you wanted to buy!
In which you will fully enjoy life in Spain, where it is pleasant to invite friends.
When you see the option you want, you need to act decisively and make a reservation, this is usually an amount of about 10,000 €. Good properties always sell well, people from all over the world come to Marbella to choose the best option on the market for themselves.

What is your budget for purchasing real estate?
Location
In real estate, the city, district and street are very important parameters. There are famous places that everyone knows, for example, Marbella, Puerto Banus, and there are less famous areas where the level of real estate is much higher and more comfortable to live, for example, the city of Sotogrande.
We always start by studying the needs of our partners who want to buy real estate. If the buyers are a large family with small children, we begin the search among the best residential areas. If these are people who have retired, they usually choose central areas. Investors usually look for real estate in tourist areas closer to the embankments and beaches. Some people want by the sea but a quiet area, others want near the sea but not very close. There are buyers who love the mountains where there are panoramic views from the windows.
The areas are divided into poor, average, decent, rich and premium.
Some are noisy, some are quiet.
Many people buy real estate in an area that they considered suitable and did not realize that there were options in more attractive areas for this budget, but no one offered them or told them about these options.
Our main location, which we have studied well over 10 years of living and working, is the city of Marbella, San Pedro Alcantara, Estepona, Elviria and Sotogrande.
We understand that the convenience of life in general depends on the location, because things like a school, gym, supermarket, playgrounds, shopping, restaurants, golf and the beach can be at different distances and save a lot of time.
In some areas, real estate prices are growing faster than in others, in some areas there is a constant demand for real estate, in others there is an oversupply.
Also, different people live in different areas and they will be your neighbors.
As Donald Trump wrote in his book about real estate, the location of real estate is a very important parameter.
We very carefully study this parameter and offer only those places that, in our opinion, best suit your needs and desires.
In what location are you looking for property?
Vlasenko Valeriia CEO
Architecture
This parameter is also important and basic.
We include here:
The appearance of the building - aesthetics, you can immediately see the project where high-quality and expensive architects worked, such objects stand out against the background of other residential complexes and houses. But not always a project with a less expressive appearance and architecture is worse in quality in general, each residential building has its own budget during construction and the level of architecture comes from it.
In Marbella and on the Costa del Sol, residential complexes of the following classes are mainly built:
Comfort
Albatros VX, Nueva Andalucía. Serenity, Golf Homes & Beach Club - Show Sotogrande.
Where there are improved layouts, good quality finishing materials: fittings, windows, doors, plumbing tiles, electrical.
These are mainly developing new areas, closer to the mountains.

Business
b
Salvia - San Pedro Alcantara. Villas 14, Sierra Blanca, Marbella

Almost always, these are areas located in a favorable geographical position.
People live: Wealthy people who can afford such a high-quality lifestyle.
Premium

Luxury real estate Marbella
Marbella: The Ultimate Destination for Luxury Living and Elite Investment
Marbella is a village for billionaires, capitalists, successful people, and those who work for them!
We have lived in Marbella for over 10 years and explored the obvious advantages of this beautiful city—or village (by "village," I mean something positive and a very good life, but call it whatever you like!).
The city of Marbella itself is small, situated between the mountains and the sea. Most of the houses were built quite a while ago. Some are elite, like Grand Marbella, while others belong to the opposite social class, and in my opinion, the simpler homes are much more numerous.
But just as a king is made by his entourage, Marbella is made famous by its surrounding districts, which are spread across an area many times larger than the city itself.
The most prestigious area with large, expensive villas, in my opinion, is Sierra Blanca, home to very wealthy people from all over the world. This district is located right at the foot of the biggest and most famous mountain, La Concha. Property prices here start at €10,000,000 and go well beyond €25,000,000.
Then there’s the ultra-exclusive area of La Zagaleta, which is situated high in the mountains. The houses there are even larger, but most importantly, the distance between them is huge, as each home sits on a vast plot of land. The area is completely private—I have never been there myself, only studied the properties online. Many people say that the Russian president once owned or still owns a house there.
The neighborhoods and residential communities in Marbella vary greatly in terms of architecture and the social status of their residents. By "status," I mean the financial income level of a family. Personally, I believe that all people are equal and have the same rights, but their opportunities depend on their income level.
There are very wealthy residential areas among golf courses, mountains, and the sea. These are usually located in scenic spots, have high security, and properties start at €10,000,000 and up. There are also many neighborhoods for people of more moderate means, but they are still very cozy and comfortable, with property prices starting from €1,000,000.
When I say "districts," I don’t just mean administrative areas but also residential complexes and gated communities.
Everywhere you go, you’ll find beautiful cafés and restaurants catering to all financial statuses: workers have their cafés, entrepreneurs have theirs, and capitalists have theirs.
But the most important thing is that everyone feels comfortable, cozy, and safe.
The city is calm and comfortable for everyone—except lawbreakers. Almost every day, I see the police at work: they set up three patrol cars, carefully block a road, stand there with automatic weapons, and check who is passing by. They stop suspicious individuals and conduct thorough checks. This happens regularly and in different places.
Overall, I’ve noticed that people respect the police, and the police respect the people. Many times, I’ve seen that the police act not out of self-interest but to help people. Marbella feels very safe and comfortable.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that every neighborhood or residential community is secured by a private security agency hired by the neighborhood administration. They patrol the area by car, respond quickly to any incidents, and immediately call the police if needed.
I have never seen a residential complex without pools and recreation areas—they are everywhere. I have also never seen a villa or house without a pool. After all, this is the south, a prime resort area with amazing weather and nature.
Rain only comes in the winter—sometimes for a whole week without stopping, about two or three times per winter. Winter temperatures range from 15 to 25°C. I love the winter weather here.
Spring, summer, and half of autumn stay between 25-30°C. Once every three years, it might exceed 35°C, but there’s no rain. Overall, Marbella and its surrounding areas have an extremely comfortable climate because of the mountains, which block the hot winds from the mainland, and the sea, which brings a fresh breeze. The distance between them is very small (I just measured it on Google Maps—2 km 140 meters), which creates a perfect balance: summers are warm but not scorching, and winters are fantastic.
For example, if you drive to Málaga, where the nearest major airport is—50 km away—it’s already much hotter and more humid in the summer. The mountains there are not as close to the sea, and you immediately notice the difference when stepping out of the car. I would compare it to stepping from the shade into the sun. I believe wealthy people choose to live here for a reason.
I have mixed feelings about Marbella's size (and the entire Costa del Sol). You can see it as a village—wealthy, comfortable in every way, and with the privileges of a big metropolis.
What do I mean?
The city is small, life is peaceful, the sea and beach are relaxing, yet it has everything a metropolis offers:
-
Expensive private schools—many of them world-class: three British, one Swedish, one German, American schools—and these are just the main ones. In what "village" do you find so many elite schools?
-
Shopping: In Puerto Banús, you’ll find the El Corte Inglés shopping center, offering clothes from the most luxurious and famous brands, plus dozens of individual boutiques.
-
Dozens of world-class golf courses surround the area.
-
In what village have you seen two Ferrari dealerships? And these aren’t small showrooms—one, which I visited, is a massive two-story dealership where I counted over 60 red Ferraris, all in stock. The second one is just as big but single-story and offers a variety of colors.
-
On top of that, there are Bentley, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Porsche dealerships—three of them, plus many more. The streets are filled with classic cars, supercars like McLaren, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, and Bugatti.
-
Yachts—ranging from small ones to massive superyachts. You can buy, rent, and service them. There are also schools for training yacht captains—an incredibly well-developed infrastructure.
-
Hotels—big, small, luxurious. So many amazing places.
-
Cafés and restaurants featuring cuisines from all over the world, from simple eateries to Michelin-starred restaurants, plus nightclubs.
-
Real estate of the highest level—both affordable and ultra-expensive. Villas start at €1,500,000 and go beyond €25,000,000. Apartments range from €300,000 to €8,000,000. Everyone can find their dream home in Marbella. With diverse architecture, beautiful nature, stunning mountain and sea views, and private pools, life here is truly wonderful.
Sorry for keeping it so short! I write in much more detail in our blog.
