We didn't plan to become estate agents. We planned to become residents.

 

In 2022, we left Brussels for Benahavís with our two daughters, Pauline and Zoé. Estelle came from the world of early childhood education in Belgium; Will from corporate catering consultancy and luxury hospitality. We had no real estate background. Just a dream of a different life under the Spanish sun.

 

Within six months, we'd bought our first apartment. We made custom improvements that transformed the property and created real added value. Eighteen months later, we sold it—for double what we paid—and reinvested in a brand-new off-plan project in Estepona.

 

Between those two transactions, we lived every step of the international buyer's journey: the school search (we were on a waiting list for a year and a half for Colegio Atalaya), the residency paperwork, the tax maze, the "why doesn't anyone explain this clearly?" frustrations.

And somewhere in that process, we realized: we could do things differently.

 

Five properties. Two people. One promise: we've walked your path.

 

Whether you're buying or selling, we've been there. Both sides. The doubts, the decisions, the victories.

Buyers: We know what it's like to compare Belgian and Spanish mortgage rates at 11 PM. To wonder whether to reserve that property now or wait another week. To not know if that "charming fixer-upper" is an opportunity or a money pit.

Sellers: We know what it takes to add value to a property before selling. How the right improvements can double its value. Why some properties sell in three weeks and others languish for months. And most importantly, how to attract the right buyers—the ones who are serious, qualified, and ready to pay the right price.

That's why we understand each other: we've been exactly where you're about to go.

 

You will only ever work with Estelle and Will.

 

No junior agents. No assistants who "handle the paperwork." No mysterious colleagues we need to "check with." From your first WhatsApp to your final signing—and years later when you need a trusted plumber or a school recommendation—it's us.

 

We speak fluent French, English, and Dutch—and we're learning Spanish, because you can't really live here without speaking it. We answer our phones. We personally visit every property we represent, because we won't sell you something we wouldn't buy ourselves—and we won't take a mandate for a property we can't sell with pride.

​

We know the answers to your questions.

​

Not because we've studied a market report—because we live it. We know which neighborhoods are truly practical for daily life—and which ones require a car for everything. Which communities have charges that explode without warning. Which schools have year-and-a-half waiting lists. Which builders deliver on time (and which don't). Which improvements add value—and which are money down the drain.

You can't learn this from books. You live it.

​

We've chosen quality over quantity.

​

We limit ourselves to five exclusive mandates at a time. It's unconventional, but it's intentional. When you're juggling 50 listings, you're processing transactions. When you focus on five, you're building partnerships.

For our sellers, this means: bespoke marketing, professional staging (our photographer Simone knows exactly how to showcase your property), precise targeting of qualified buyers, and our complete attention until the sale.

For our buyers, this means: no-pressure guidance, access to 95% of the Costa del Sol market, and honest advice—even when it costs us a commission.

​

We work with roughly 12 clients a year. 70% are Belgian, but they all share something in common: they value a personal, thoughtful approach over a transactional one. Most find us through referrals or our exclusive partnership with De Rijkste Belgen. If you're here, someone you trust probably sent you our way.

​

We're the agency for those who want a guide.

​

If you're looking for:

• Two people who have bought, renovated, added value, and sold here—and who understand every step of your journey

• A trusted circle—our lawyer Pierre, our photographer Simone, our interior designer —who feel like family, not just a vendor list

• Someone who takes the time to truly know you—because it's over coffee, talking about your children, your doubts, your dreams, that we understand what you really need

Then we should talk.

​

We're not looking for clients. We're looking for people.

​

People who aren't afraid to pick up the phone, to share a piece of their lives with us. Because that's how trust is built. That's how we find the right property, or sell at the right price. And that's how we create relationships that last well beyond the signing.

​

We are Estelle and Will.

Not estate agents who decided to move to Spain. Residents who discovered they could help others succeed in their own Spanish dream—by buying smarter, or selling more intelligently.

We're not like other agents on the Costa del Sol. Because we were in your shoes. And we remember.
