What people say about us

Testimonials

Real stories from buyers and sellers who trusted us to find or sell their home in inland Andalucía — in their own words.

"Since early October we are the proud owners of a fully restored 100 year old Cortijo in Ventorros de Balerma, close to Iznajar. We have been looking for the right holiday property in the Iznajar area since 2019 and friends of ours suggested that we should get in touch with Sunset country properties. Marcel was very helpful throughout. During the covid pandemic travelling from the U.K. to Spain was near impossible but with the help of live videos we were able to get good impressions of the properties that we were interested in. Marcel kept us in the loop of any new properties coming to the market either by email or a phone call. Finally in May this year we found the house that ticked all the boxes . Throughout the sales process Marcel was at hand to assist us with the many questions we had and he helped us also with opening a bank account. All in all; a very good experience and we can greatly recommend Sunset country properties whether you are in the market to buy or sell. Thanks again Marcel!"

"We highly recommend Marcel of Sunset Country Properties. He is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with (and we’ve worked with many). Marcel provides concierge service and always with a smile. Very professional. We purchased a house from him and it could not have gone better."

"Sunsetcp.com – the best estate agent in central Andalusia!! We bought a house from Marcel Lohman three years ago and are still very happy with it. Great service and very knowledgeable. Marcel has become a friend of ours and is still happy to help whenever we have any questions. We might buy another finca from him in the future, or perhaps a large villa – if so, it’ll definitely be through Marcel. It’s just that he’s still in his office when we want to pop in for a cup of coffee with him, ha ha ha. So if you’re looking to buy a house in Andalusia, in the Málaga or Córdoba regions – from 40,000 right up to a really lavish villa for 450,000 – come to Marcel and he’ll help you with everything. 100 per cent trustworthy. He speaks Dutch and handles everything from purchase to handover!! Don’t hesitate – here you get 300 days of sunshine a year, the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, stunning natural scenery, lots of historic towns and it’s much cheaper than in the Netherlands. I say, pack your bags!! Best wishes, Pim and Asmae"

"We would just like to say a big thank you to Lesley at Sunset Country Properties for all the hard work and assistance put in to helping us buy our delightful house Fuente Del Conde, we are absolutely thrilled with it. Lesley has been such a huge help to us right from the start of the house buying process, her honesty and professionalism is second to none. Her knowledge on the local areas has proved incredibly useful, she even assisted us with arranging quotes from local traders which given the language barrier would have been a challenge for us to coordinate alone. Buying a property during a pandemic is challenging enough, however Lesley has helped us every step of the way. From the start of our search in July we are now in October and the happy owners of a beautiful house. We would not hesitate to recommend Sunset Country Properties to anyone looking to buy a property in Spain, and hopefully it will be a long time in the future but we know who we would choose to sell ours! All the best Elly and Matt"

We are very happy and satisfied. Carine & Rene"
