Villa at a glance: Sierra Blanca

Villa – This villa is special from its layout and architecture! This villa is not “standard”, because it was not designed for an anonymous buyer, but originally with personal reference. This can be seen during the viewing on a large scale, but also in the details of this exclusive 4.4 million villa, in the heart of Marbella.

Originally, the property was intended for a loved one. Exactly this attention to detail, you can see during the tour in every single room, from the individual bathroom design (more on this later), to the equally individual bedrooms, to ceiling elements, which in individual rooms remind you of “cottages”, through extra inserted slopes, for even more sleeping comfort.

In addition, an extremely spacious terrace, the large swimming pool and of course the perfect location, in the middle of Marbella, with unobstructed views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Location in Marbella: Golden Mile

Location – If you want to be in the middle of Marbella, only 30, 40 minutes away from the airport (Malàga), only a few minutes away from the Mediterranean Sea, you should settle in the city, more precisely in the quarters above the Golden Mile. Also left and right of the city center, the “Old-Town” of Marbella.

So this extremely good location offers ultimate proximity to the city, the beach, the airport and also exclusivity and security; an important aspect for many buyers.

Situation at a glance:

• Mediterranean Sea and first class climate
• Only 40 minutes to the airport (Málaga)
• Over 100 golf courses nearby

Marbella: location and map (macro)

Here’s a quick look at the location of Marbella in the south of Spain, near Gibraltar, the southernmost point of mainland Europe.

Micro-perspective: City

At a closer look you can see the typical city construction, along the coast.

Interiors: living room, bedrooms and bathrooms

Living space – A quick overview of the property: The total living space of 767 m² is distributed over 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and an extremely large living area, on the ground floor.

Living Area: Living Room Gallery and Dining Room

The living area is more or less a living room, gallery and dining room in one. Rarely found, more often the villas, here in Marbella and on the Costa del Sol, are rather divided into individual rooms instead of spacious areas. This is what makes this villa so special. The reception area and transition to the living area, are welcoming. Especially when living well in Marbella, with family and friends, a key aspect when buying.

The interior, as already briefly described, is very spacious, especially on the ground floor, in a large, open living area. Everything from noble materials, even the entertainment corner, exclusive marble. What I particularly liked about the property, in addition to the large, open spaces, the ground level windows, for extremely much light.

Upper floor: bedrooms and bathrooms

On the first floor you will also find three rooms each, each with a separate bathroom. The highlight, each one is individually designed and furnished. On the first floor are also, for each individual room, an equally separate outdoor area (terrace), of course in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea.

If you want to see even more interior design highlights, check out the gallery above!

Basement: Wellness, Fitness and Personal

Basement – In the basement is also a private spa or wellness area with sauna, mini-pool and you also have plenty of space for their own little gym. Furthermore, you will find here in the basement still an extra room, which can be inhabited / used for example by staff (nanny or similar).

Interior summarized:

• Ground floor: Large living area plus kitchen
• First floor: living, bedrooms and bathrooms
• UG: Spa, fitness and staff room

Perfect for families who can spend their time separately, but also perfect for renting. Renting is a big issue in Marbella, because many people only spend a few months of the year here, for example the autumn and winter time. Then in the spring and summer it’s back home. Rental, maintenance, take care of everything service is on site.

Further equipment

Here are a few more highlights of the villa:

• Garage
• Alert
• High level
• Air conditioning
• Fireplace
• Basement
• Floor Air Conditioner

Property: Terrace, Garden, Pool and Parking

Let’s just get to the terrace, garden, pool and parking shortly.

Sea side: terrace, garden and pool

Plot – From the outside there is no view of the plot. At the same time you have an excellent view from the property, down to the beach and over the whole Mediterranean Sea. The villa itself is located a little further up, in the exclusive shops, here nothing blocks the beautiful view, day and night. In particular, the starry sky is beautiful always at yes, the few lights from the city there and no lights on the Mediterranean.

In the spacious garden you will also find the swimming pool, which not only provides cooling, but is actually suitable for swimming. Of course, it’s south-facing, so the water temperature is always pleasant.

The garden is currently still relatively minimalist, but here, depending on your wishes, a real, colorful flower oasis could arise. After all, palm trees, banana trees, but also oranges grow in Marbella. By the way, the harvest time of the oranges starts in December, would you have expected that? That means, in the actually deepest winter, you can pick oranges in Marbella!

• Front: Unobstructed view to sea, city centre
• Back side: View of the mountains (Muschelberg)
• Clear starry skies almost every day of the year

Mountain side: BBQ and 400 year old olive tree

Behind the villa is further space, for example for BBQ. Depending on the position of the sun and the season, this space is used especially in the hot summer months. Another highlight: a specially planted, 400 year old, impressive olive tree. Did you know? Olive trees can live for thousands of years.

Another highlight, a small waterfall, right next to the BBQ area.

At the side: 2 parking spaces (covered), private way

You reach your private parking space via a small, private road. Here you have space for 2 cars.

For golfers an equally attractive location, Marbella is the “Miami of Europe”, there are over 100 golf courses nearby! By car you can reach several, very good golf courses in a few minutes (Tip: Golf courses in Marbella). E.g. also the golf club Los Naranjos. Translated, this means the orange trees.

Discreet, anonymous selling: shopping mall

You are probably looking for a reputable office or a real estate agent that will put your shopping center on the market discreetly and anonymously.

Do you want everyone to know about the sale and your asset growth?

Selling anonymously means selling off market, with a specialist estate agency.

This means that in the off market you specifically address private investors and buyers, well-known families, their family offices, real estate funds in Germany and abroad. Depending on the group of buyers or the specific buyer for whom the special offer is most interesting.

In the very first step, only one person learns about the sale. The majority of properties are sold immediately, discreetly and anonymously, without any other person or institution knowing about it. The basis for this is of course always a solid valuation.

Creditworthiness, financial proof, purchase offer, all this is often available within 14 to 30 days.

Thus, we act as a real estate agency quite differently than the classic real estate agent, through which otherwise typical condominiums, townhouses and single-family homes are sold.

With us, marketing does not go broad, but extremely specific to individuals who are known from the personal network.

This extremely accelerates the sale of real estate. Especially due to the shortage of supply. This exclusivity also allows new leeway in negotiations.

Location, location, location: A, B or C

Location is what counts when selling real estate. Of course, this also applies to shopping centres. Therefore, a property valuation is not as simple and typical as it would be for a house or apartment building.

Other factors also play a role in the sale of shopping malls. For example, a central and important value factor for the property is the development and forecast for the location, in micro-location and macro-location. What opportunities does the location offer as it is and if it is further developed?

Initial Value Factors:

• Location, substance, figures and letting
• Development / forecast for microlocation
• Development / forecast for macro location

Tip. Value factor underground parking.

Underground, above ground, there are a few factors to consider besides the property and the substance.

Accordingly, the asking price is not calculated as usual from the factors: location, size and layout. Forecasts for the future are also a value factor for shopping centres. Of course, as well as the current tenant situation, existing contracts and so on.

Accordingly, the sale is more complex in the whole subject.

Selling real estate: 1×1 for sellers

For all those selling your first property, for example through an impromptu inheritance, here’s another article that summarizes selling real estate in simple steps.

Procedure, controls and errors…

How does a real estate sale typically go? If you own a shopping center, you’re usually familiar with trading real estate. But sometimes it comes unexpectedly, as through a real estate inheritance.

Not everyone anticipates the death of a loved one in advance, sometimes even an unknown person. If there is no direct descendant, many choose the children of siblings, or closer relatives.

Real estate sale in detail

First-time sellers have many, basic questions:

• What is the process for selling real estate?
• What do you start with, what do you need?
• How long does it take?
• Who is the right contact person?

For all these questions and of course much more, e.g. mistakes when selling real estate but also the taxes that come to you as a seller, we have answers here. Read our big guide on the subject:

• Real estate sale: procedure, taxes and mistakes

Sell commercial property

This little guide is a bit more advanced. Here you will learn a few more basics about commercial real estate and of course various aspects of the sale.

• Sell commercial property

Selling land: Agricultural land, meadow, acre & Co.

You may have already read our great guide on selling land, or perhaps you have read more specific guides, for example on selling woodland land.

For those who are dealing with the matter of land sale for the first time, the question surely arises:

• How do I sell my agricultural land?
• Which step do I start with?
• Who advises me, prepares expert opinions & Co.

Here are a few pointers for selling farmland, agricultural land and other, more specific land. You can also read more about the process, mistakes and risks, as well as taxes when selling land.

Sell privately or with a professional?

The question is answered relatively quickly. There are various parameters that influence the selling price. These include, for example, the property valuation, as well as a solid and capital-strong buyer network, but also negotiating skills. After all, it is not “only” about a condominium, but about more complex, agricultural usable areas, with all the addition around soil expertise, forecasts and development possibilities.

Minimize effort, maximize profit

Selling agricultural land privately, for example through real estate portals, not the best idea.

1. What do you do with all the requests?
2. What documents, papers and expert opinions do you need?
3. Who sends info and makes phone calls for questions?
4. Who really has the credit rating and willingness to buy?
5. How many surveys do you want / need to do?
6. Who prepares and conducts the negotiations?
7. …

From credit rating (creditworthiness) to viewing appointments and negotiations: Time is money. Therefore, in this country 70% + sell with the help of professionals, such as an estate agent.

Sell privately?! Risk private sale

Time is of the essence. If you are not under pressure to sell, excellent. Then you may be able to make a mistake or two. But who wants to do that? Here is a recent example of a client who wanted to sell his property in Berlin. Private.

Example of agricultural land in the Berlin hinterland

Here is an example of a client who approached us, a typical case. It was an area in the Berlin area that was to be sold. The mistake in brief: private sale without sufficient credit check or financing confirmation from a bank. The result: months of delay and abandonment.

The seller has advertised privately on a known portal. Promptly came many messages, but almost all conversations ran into the void. Weeks passed.

Error: Insufficient creditworthiness and verification

After months, finally found a person who had the will and the credit rating – supposedly. So after the site visit talk about checking the financing, by the buyer’s bank and wait. Again, a few weeks pass.

Then you get after further weeks a feedback from the buyer and/or prospective customer that the financing was rejected with the first bank, therefore now with a second house bank one inquires. You wait.

After another few weeks passed, he still had no confirmation of financing from a bank, no preliminary purchase agreement, and no notary appointment.

Conclusion – pressure and frustration:

Suddenly there is more and more pressure to sell, and at the same time frustration rises.

You wouldn’t believe how many private sellers have this exact story happen to them.

That’s why over 2/3 of the properties are sold with professionals on the side (brokers and the like).

Professional land trading for agricultural land

Preparation is the key so that you do not lose months in the sale of A and B locations, and even years in C locations.

Preparation is the key: even with agricultural land

However, the work starts much earlier, which is another reason why working with a broker is advantageous.

Tip on the broker’s commission! Privately, the law currently provides that 50/50 is shared (buyer, seller). In commercial trade you can also put 100% on the buyer.

So, in principle, in the commercial trade it does not even cost you money. For this you get the network when it comes to a reputable real estate dealer.

• What documents and papers do you need?
• Which groups of buyers are you addressing with this particular property?
• Do you want everyone to know you want to sell your farmland?
• Should everyone know the value (your asset growth)?

Discretion: neighbours, envy and competition

In addition to the time factor (= money), for many sellers of agricultural land is also important that your property is made discreet, anonymous. From competition in the region to family, the neighbors or even receiving large sums of money. There are several reasons why a majority of sellers want to sell anonymously and discreetly.

Personal network: buyers and investors

Professional property trading looks quite different, of course. Here it is not about marketing in real estate portals, personal buyers are adressed, investors, funds but also foreign investors groups.

Investors from abroad: Profitable business

Foreign investors for a farmland? Yes! Many are looking for good returns and capital investment in this country. Due to the attractive returns in this country, but also the good soil quality and water quality (groundwater and water sources) in general, there are also very many investors from near and far abroad looking for land.

The big advantage for you as a seller, here the money sits a little looser than in the country – simply said.

Central for this is of course again a renowned real estate agency.

Exclusive is fast: supply and demand

Another strong advantage for you on the seller side:

Deals are being closed much faster.

Why? The properties are traded exclusively and the offers are made only to individuals. This exclusivity ensures the scarcity of supply and thus increases the demand on the customer side.

Time is money! Especially wealthy customers do not want to waste time

Wasting time, in which, for example, several interested parties are at one property. Business should be done quickly.

Find a real estate agent: Renowned office or from the region?

Therefore, consider working with a regional real estate agent who does what everyone does: Posting your farmland widely on all real estate portals. After that, hundreds of people will write, there will be many conversations, emails, plus phone calls. Very much time passes, few really have the creditworthiness, the will, as described before.

The process of finding a farmland takes months, sometimes even years.

Time is money! Addressing investors

Here is another psychological aspect that gives you advantages in off market trading:

When professional investors or their employees see that properties are listed on real estate portals, the question immediately arises: Why? Why has the property not found a buyer? No one would even continue to deal with this object. After all, there are thousands of advertisements. Who is supposed to see through all of them?

Family offices, real estate funds, etc.

Family offices, real estate funds and others therefore speak directly with renowned real estate offices and have only exclusive properties presented to them. Then everything goes very quickly.

In the off-market area, you will find the big family names, i.e. family offices, real estate funds, other institutions, which are approached individually and specifically, depending on the purchase profile.

This is all called off market trading.

Here we talk about the concrete procedure, in all the individual phases of the sales process.

Agricultural land / field with spring?

Selling a water well – appraisals, brokers, negotiations, process and taxes, there are also many questions when selling a water well. Is now the right time for you to sell? And if so, what is the most effective way to sell? Water is a scarce resource. Even though over 71% of our planet’s surface is water, there are fewer and fewer productive, clean water sources. Low supply, high demand: don’t just think regional buyers, think mutual funds and yes, food companies too. For that, you need a broker with an exclusive network. Whether a sole proprietor or a water cooperative, learn about the matter of selling here.
