We can't speak highly enough of Paul at Martin Real Estate. From our very first enquiry back in August 2024, Paul was nothing short of exceptional. He took the time to really understand our needs and wants as a family relocating to Spain, and patiently guided us through the complexities of the Spanish property market, making everything feel clear and manageable. We first met Paul in person in October 2024 when he showed us a property we loved, which unfortunately didn’t work out — but that didn’t deter him. When we returned in January 2025, Paul went above and beyond, helping us shortlist to 10 properties, and then dedicating two full days to take us around to view them. There was absolutely no hard sell at any point — just genuine care and a sincere desire to help us find the right home for our family, which he absolutely did. Paul supported us all the way through the buying process, right up to completion, and his help didn’t stop there. Even after the sale, he’s continued to stay in touch, offering advice, recommending trusted tradespeople, and generally being an all-round star. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping you find not just a property but the right one, Paul is your guy. We feel very lucky to have found him and can’t thank him enough

We have just completed on a lovely little apartment in Calahonda. This experience was made so easy with the help from Jess from Martins real estate. She really went above and beyond to make the whole thing go so smoothly and stress free. Jess recommended the solicitor who we used and she was also excellent. We bought and completed in 1 month with zero stress or worries. I had no idea how to go about buying a property abroad and I couldn’t have done it without Jess’s help. Highly recommend!

Paul and the team were fantastic. They spent multiple days to show us lots of places and I felt they stayed objective throughout-providing sound guidance and insights. They stayed connected throughout the purchase process and helped us get the keys to our fabulous new home! If you are looking for an agent in the Costa del Sol, I cannot recommend highly enough! It was a pleasure.
John and Lauren McSorley, Bought an apartment in La Cala de MIjas
In June We saw this property in La Cala de Mijas for sale on Martin Real Estate site and it's everything we've been searching for. We contacted Paul from Martin Real Estate and he couldn't have been more helpful he explained everything to us how to pay the deposit and how to pay the balance of the purchase It was very reassuring to speak to someone who knew everything about buying property in Spain. Needless to say with Pauls help the purchase went ahead within four weeks.So now I'm writing this review in the sun in my garden looking forward to many more years of this. Thanks to Martin Real Estate

Jessie McCarthy of Martin Real Estate Costa del Sol transformed what we expected to be a daunting experience into an absolutely seamless and stress-free journey. As first-time property buyers in Spain who don't speak Spanish, we were initially overwhelmed by the prospect of purchasing on the Costa del Sol. Our experience began when we found a property on Idealista.com and sent an inquiry. Jessie's response was immediate, and she arranged a viewing for the very next day. From that first meeting, her professionalism and genuine care were evident. Jessica listened attentively to our requirements and curated a perfect selection of properties that not only met our specifications but exceeded our expectations - all within our budget. Her deep knowledge of the market allowed her to show us some truly exquisite options we never would have discovered on our own. What truly sets Jessie apart is her commitment to client care throughout the entire process. She literally "held our hands" from initial viewing to final completion, providing expert guidance with genuine warmth and competence. Her knowledge of the local market, combined with the company's highly efficient affiliate legal team, ensured a completely frictionless experience in all legal and bureaucratic matters. Jessie's dedication, expertise and personal touch made all the difference in our successful property acquisition. We cannot recommend her and Martin Real Estate Costa del Sol highly enough to anyone considering a property purchase in this region of Spain. Stephen and Laima

In the recent past we experienced the classic horror stories of buying property in Spain. Not with Jessie from Martin Real Estate. She is highly competent, dedicated to her job, keeps on smiling, never gives up and goes the whole way anticipating on what is going to be needed and when. She always keeps her promises and helps you with trivial things that are so complicated when you're not yet up to speaking terms in Spanish. If it were not for her immaculate support, we certainly would not have achieved our goal, buying the apartment we liked. No doubt that if I ever consider buying or selling another property in Spain, it will be with her assistance. Marc.

I highly recommend Paul, he is not your typical estate agent. He is reliable and trustworthy. His aftersales service is second to none. I can't speak more highly if him.
Roland Trentini, Bought a house in Coin Malaga
Highly recommend Martin Real Estate especially Jessie who just brought us through the whole process so smoothly. From that first phone call about what we’d like, Jessie matched us to the criteria superbly! Everything we asked for was achieved with a very small budget, but being realistic was important too. This property has fulfilled a long term dream. Jessie answered all our questions so promptly and went out of her way on many occasions to make it easy for us. Because this purchase was from abroad she put our minds instantly at ease and all along the process, recommending a solicitor too. We were able to close within a month, we still can’t believe its completed. We were so daunted and overwhelmed at the beginning now I know we didn’t have to be with Jessie’s wonderful help. Without Jessie I’m not sure we would have made the leap. “Thank you” Jessie you’re brilliant, kind and very understanding. So if you’re property hunting contact Jessie!

We're Americans who just bought a beautiful home in Mijas. We found it online via Paul Martin's site and he took us all the way through the process of purchase--home inspection, real estate lawyer, notary, etc. He was there throughout, attentive, jolly, and immensely helpful, keeping the whole process smooth and easy. We are deeply indebted to him and his agency for their help. What a terrific realtor!
Richard and Sally Price, Bought a villa in Mijas
We Bought our property through Paul around 5 Years ago. When we decided it was time to sell we contacted Paul to go through our options and the best way to move forward. I feel Paul has a wealth of Knowledge about properties in Spain and Paul gave us some great tips and recommendations. Paul and his team marketed our property and it was only a couple of weeks before we received a great offer that we accepted. Paul managed all the viewing's that we had as the property was empty due to us being back at home in the UK. I couldn't recommend Paul and his team enough for anyone purchasing or selling a property.

Paul is a force of nature and has been absolutely brilliant in helping us buy an apartment in Mijas Pueblo. He is action oriented, found us the apartment then quickly got access and did a video tour with enough detail for us to have the confidence to buy before actually seeing the property. He has spent a lot of time guiding us through the buying process including helping us to identify a great lawyer, a currency exchange provider and a trusted builder to carry out some renovations. Paul has quite simply gone above and beyond what I would expect from an estate agent. We trust Paul and highly recommend him if you are looking for a property on the Costa del Sol. Danny and Carole
