Christie’s International Real Estate is synonymous with excellence in the luxury property market. With a legacy rooted in over 250 years of expertise, the brand is recognized worldwide for its dedication to offering exclusive, high-end properties to discerning buyers. Their expansion into Spain, particularly in the Costa del Sol and Madrid, is a testament to their strategic vision and commitment to providing unparalleled service in Europe’s most desirable locations.
Hans Veenhuijsen, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate – Costa del Sol, played a key role in bringing the brand to this dynamic region. With a background in real estate in the Netherlands, Veenhuijsen was captivated by Marbella’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and strong property market. This led to the establishment of the first Christie’s International Real Estate office in Marbella, marking the beginning of a significant expansion into Spain.
Why Costa del Sol? A Destination of Unmatched Appeal
The Costa del Sol has long been a magnet for luxury property investors. Known for its exceptional climate, with over 320 days of sunshine per year, the region offers an unrivalled lifestyle that blends world-class golf courses, exquisite gastronomy, prestigious marinas, and cultural richness. Even during economic challenges and global uncertainties, the Costa del Sol has remained a prime location for real estate investment, maintaining its prestige in the international luxury market.
Recognizing the region’s growing demand, Christie’s International Real Estate – Costa del Sol expanded beyond Marbella, opening a new office in Málaga in early 2024. This was followed by an entry into the Madrid market, further strengthening their presence across Spain. The rapid growth underscores the increasing demand for luxury properties and the brand’s ability to cater to sophisticated clients looking for exclusive investments.
