01
No seller commissions
We never take a fee from the seller side. Our only revenue is the buyer-side fee, payable on a closed purchase that meets your brief.
About
A Marbella agency built for the buyer.
We do not list properties. We represent only the buyer — and we built the agency around the parts of the process that the seller-side market keeps obscured.
The principle
Buyer-side only. No exceptions.
Every other Marbella agency takes commission from the seller. We do not. That single choice removes the conflict of interest that defines the rest of the market: an advisor paid by the seller, telling the buyer what to buy. We earn only when you find the right property — never when a particular property finds you.
Our roots
Norwegian-founded, Marbella-based.
The agency was founded by Erlend Sand — a Norwegian entrepreneur with 7 years on the Costa del Sol. The team works in Norsk, English, and Spanish. The lawyers, mortgage brokers, and notaries we recommend are people we have used personally, and who treat international buyers with the standards expected at home.
How we are different
Four things that set us apart.
02
Off-market network access
Roughly 40–60% of Marbella prime transactions never reach Idealista or MLS. Years of local relationships give you access to listings before they go public.
03
One advisor, end to end
The same person who runs your first discovery call also walks you through escritura. No handoffs to junior team members. No relationship reset.
04
Norwegian-language service
Contracts in Spanish, conversations in Norwegian when you prefer. We translate not just the words but the local context — what is standard, what is negotiable, what is a red flag.
Founder
“We show you the property that matches your brief — not the listing that pays us the most.”
Erlend Sand · Founder
Erlend founded the agency after 7 years on the Costa del Sol watching Norwegian friends and clients pay 5–12% too much for properties because the seller-side market is structured to keep buyer information asymmetric. The agency exists to close that asymmetry — for buyers willing to do the work properly.
