Horia Dragu
Independent property advisor, Marbella and Costa del Sol
I help people buy and sell on the Costa del Sol: on their side, with the facts checked, in English, Spanish or Romanian.
You deal with me personally, from the first call to the notary.
Background
Why I work this way.
I studied at Les Roches Marbella, ranked second in the world for hospitality management (QS 2026): a BBA specialised in marketing, then a Master's specialised in luxury marketing and branding. Hospitality means one thing above everything else: understanding what a person needs, often before they say it, and looking after every detail until it's right. I work the same way with property.
So I'm your advisor first, and I always act in your best interest. Before we look at a single listing, I want to understand why you need a home here: how you'll use it, who it's for, your budget, your timing and what you'd never accept. Then I build the plan around you, which areas, which homes, what to check and when to make an offer, and I guide you through the whole process, to the keys. If the honest answer is to wait, I'll say so.
Six years of living and working on this coast have given me the relationships that make the plan work: agencies whose listings I can show you through the Resales MLS and the other agent portals I'm a member of, developers I work with directly, and lawyers, tax advisers, gestors and builders I trust. If you don't have your own, I'll introduce you. You get the whole market, and one person answering for all of it.
I chose to work independently, so the advice is mine and it's for you: where a home is right, where it isn't, and what still needs checking. You deal with me from the first message to the notary.
How I work
Four things you can count on.
Listening
I listen first
What you need decides the search, not what I happen to have to sell.
Checking
I check the record
The nota simple, the Catastro, the community minutes: before you're committed, not at the notary.
Honesty
I say what a listing doesn't
Where to hesitate and what a home leaves out, even when it costs me the sale.
Limits
I know where my job ends
When something needs a lawyer, a surveyor or a tax adviser, I bring one in. I won't pretend to be one.
Credentials
Things you can check.
Education
Bachelor and Master from Les Roches, ranked No.2 in the world for hospitality management (QS 2026).
