From tennis coach to real estate entrepreneur in Spain
When I bought my first home in Marbella in 2010, I quickly discovered how much is involved in buying a house in Spain. From local regulations to construction quality and notary fees, it was an educational process.
In the years that followed, I personally bought, rented out, and sold several villas and apartments. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what to look out for when buying or investing in property in Spain.
What started as a personal adventure grew into SecondHome4U — a real estate agency where I use my experience to help others make their Spanish dream a reality.
Why people choose to buy a property in Spain
The Spanish lifestyle has always appealed to me: the light, the outdoor living, the people. Many of my clients feel the same way. Some choose to emigrate to enjoy the sun all year round. Others buy a home in Andalusia as a holiday home or second residence. And an increasing number of clients invest in Spanish real estate for stable returns and long-term value.
I understand all of these motivations, because I have experienced them myself. I know what it feels like to take that step — and what it gives you in terms of freedom and quality of life.
Doubts? I had them too
Before buying my first property, I had doubts about location and rental potential. Many of my clients ask the same questions. Should I choose Marbella, charming Estepona, or perhaps the green hills of Benahavís?
Together, we look at what best suits your wishes and goals. I guide you through every step of the process — from the first viewing to the notary — so you can make decisions with confidence.
What makes SecondHome4U different
I do not believe in quick sales. My goal is not for you to sign today, but for you to still be happy with your decision five years from now.

That is why I take the time to truly understand what you are looking for and only present properties that genuinely match your wishes and budget. Even after the purchase, I remain personally involved. I assist with practical matters, rentals, maintenance and — if desired — your first steps toward relocating to Spain.
I still greatly enjoy showing clients the most beautiful places along the Costa del Sol, from the marina of Puerto Banús to the peaceful hills of Benahavís.
