Terrific guy / company. Highly recommended.
Paul Martin and his company helped us find a property around La Cala in late 2025 and we moved in very recently. Based very centrally in Calahonda, we gave Paul a very challenging brief - a 2 bed apartment with good outside space, having green / mountain views somewhere between Malaga and Puerto Banus with not many properties visible - all on a tight budget. Paul embraced this right from the off and gave us edited lists of properties to look at. With the feedback we gave him on them all, we were able to narrow down a very wide search area to something more manageable and then made 3 trips out to Spain over the months, as there's a limit to what you can do online. Throughout the lengthy period while we were looking, Paul was incredibly patient and helpful and even went above and beyond on a couple of occasions by doing video viewings of things just on the market. Once we had secured an apartment Paul even went to check just before completion that the vendor had left everything promised. All in all it was a great experience for us working with Paul, though he may hope for less picky clients in the future! We wish Paul success going forward and have no hesitation in giving him a top rating and recommending him to anyone trying to buy or sell on the Costa del Sol.

Martin Patterson, Bought an apartment in Cerros del Aguila

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

Noel and Joan O´Gorman, Bought a house in La Cala de Mijas

We had our property on the market for over a year with auctioner. We met Paul and he sold within 6 weeks for the price we were looking for. He was extremely professional and polite. We would definitely recommend him if you are buying or selling.

In the spring of 2022 we arranged to visit Paul Martin in order for him to assist us in finding a villa on the Costa del Sol. He was very efficient and friendly and helped us draw up a wish list and to prioritize our requirements. He drew up a list of suitable properties and arranged some house visits. On our first visit, we failed to find a suitable property, and we realized we needed to adjust our requirements or budget. We increased our budget, and Paul found us a long list of suitable properties while we were in the UK. He helped us narrow the selection and arranged for some property visits on our return to Spain. We found our dream villa on this second visit and purchased it. It became our house at the end of the summer of 2022. Paul guided us through the whole procedure and helped us speak to all the appropriate people. He conducted our negotiations and was very professional and efficient. Paul was very kind, warm and helpful, always honest, and never “pushy”. We would recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase a property on the Costa del Sol.

Kevin & Cairy Murphy, Bought a Penthouse Apartment in Torremolinos

We were incredibly lucky to have found Paul from Martin’s Real Estate. I had randomly reached out after finding one of his property listings in idealista. He contacted my back within the hour and from the moment I shared our budget and requirements, Paul took care of absolutely everything. His advice, local insight, and professionalism were second to none.

I had booked a 4 day viewing trip for myself and my 6 year old daughter and let Paul know the dates and he kept in touch right up until the trip, providing valuable guidance and options to think about in advance. Pual ended up shortlisting more than 20 carefully chosen properties and lined up all of the viewings. It was a huge undertaking and very ambitious to squeeze so much into such a short trip but Paul was meticulous in his efficiency and organisation in lining everything up to make the most of the trip. He personally picked us up at our hotel bright and early each morning and we got to work, ensuring we found the perfect property. He went above and beyond, not just as an agent, but as a true guide and partner throughout the process.

Paul is exceptionally honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, with a phenomenal work ethic and genuine care for his clients. Thanks to him, the experience was not only smooth and stress-free but also highly enjoyable and memorable. My six year old cried all the way home as she didn't want to leave!

I couldn’t recommend him more highly, Paul is a rare find and an absolute superstar of a performer so if you're looking to find your perfect Costa Del Sol Holiday home or rental investment you won't find a better partner (or friend!) through the process!

Thank you Paul 😊
