Costa Del Sol Living

What Costa Del Sol Living does

Costa Del Sol Living is a family-run real estate brokerage founded in 2008 and headquartered in Benamara, Estepona, Malaga, Spain. The firm facilitates property purchases and rentals on the Costa del Sol for international buyers, spanning price points from approximately €189,000 entry-level apartments to over €38 million luxury estates, with two branded tiers: Boutique Properties (€1.5m to €3.5m) and Elite Properties (€3.5m+). The multilingual team supports clients in English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Arabic, and Chinese, and the business operates through a sales-led GTM combining a direct Benamara office, a network of Costa del Sol real estate agents, and organized viewing trips at £199 per person.

The core platform is a multilingual content-marketing and property-listing website with self-serve search filters, supplemented by an active buyer network and partnerships across mortgage advisory (Mortgage Direct), legal services, and currency exchange. Beyond brokerage commissions, revenue is generated through holiday and long-term rental services, furniture packs (from €8,499 plus accessories from €3,999), and recurring property management services (key holding, inspections, cleaning, maintenance coordination, holiday-rental preparation) for owners between Marbella and Estepona.

The revenue model is predominantly transaction-based (commission on sales) with ancillary professional-service fees for rentals, management, viewing trips, and furniture, plus a one-time license-style stream from furniture packs. The customer base consists of international end-buyers seeking primary residences, holiday homes, or buy-to-let investments; no enterprise customer concentration is disclosed, and the company is privately held with no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds identified.
