We Are Castles Real Estate Agency

Castles Estate Agency is a family run business on the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain, with branches in the village of Sabinillas and Duquesa Marina.  We opened our doors in 1986 initially as a fiscal advisor to British, German and Polish clients and later as an Estate Agency, bringing together buyers and sellers of all nationalities from around the world.  The reputation of Castles Estate Agency has been built with over 30 years of good, honest and clear advice and we continuously strive to achieve the highest of professional standards.  Estate Agency and this beautiful part of Spain have seen substantial changes since we opened the business in 1986, and we continue to thrive and expand with the new demands.

Today, we continue to be a family owned and run property firm.

We deliver exceptionally high standards of service in both our Estate Agency and Fiscal Advisory (Asesoria Castles) businesses.

From start to finish

Starting with us, your dedicated estate agents, we will ensure that you understand everything about buying & selling a home in Spain.  Our bi-lingual team of tax advisors and our legal department will also keep you fully informed from start to finish, to enable you to make the right decisions with confidence.

With our experience

We are proud to have been part of this community since 1986. We use our experience of the area to help you to fulfill your dreams of Spanish home ownership. We look forward to welcoming you to the community and when pastures new beckon, will do all we can to make the selling your property straightforward and stress free.

Testimonials

Chris, Just wanted to end the year by thanking you Maria Dolores and the team for all your hard work and a great service in selling our property.
by Frank Charlo
Thank you so much for all your help and support – you have been amazing and exceeded our expectations. From the time we met, following our cancelling the Marbella agents, it was altogether a pleasurable experience looking for a home in Duquesa. You listened to us and knew just what we were looking for and what would suit us. Throughout you have always kept us informed and dealt promptly with any queries. We have felt that nothing has been too much trouble to ask you to sort out and it has been comforting knowing we can rely on you and your experience. It has been a real pleasure meeting you. We would have no hesitation in recommending yourself and Castles and no doubt we will calling on you in the future.

Hello all at Castles! I have so loved your blogs during lockdown and will surely miss them. Sadly I haven't been back to Spain in a long while since selling my apartment in Sabinillas but I still believe you are the best in Sabinillas for customer care.
