We don’t sell homes. We help the right people find the right one.
Considered, never transactional.
Vantage was founded on a simple conviction: that buying or selling a home on the Costa del Sol should feel considered, never transactional. The properties here are extraordinary. The process of acquiring one rarely is.
We work with a small number of clients at a time, many of them American and international buyers placing their trust in people they have never met, in a market they are still coming to know. That trust is the whole of our business. We protect it by being honest about value, candid about risk, and patient when patience serves you better than speed.
We would rather lose a sale than earn it the wrong way.
We know these streets.
We are deliberately not the loudest name on the coast. We don’t chase listings or volume, and we don’t pressure a decision that deserves time. Our role is quieter and, we think, more valuable: to give clear counsel, to open the right doors, and to stay out of the way of a decision that is yours alone to make.
From Marbella’s Golden Mile to the hills of Benahavís and the seafront of Estepona, we use that knowledge in one direction only: yours. Whether you are buying a first home in the sun or quietly placing a landmark villa, the standard is the same. Clear advice. Complete confidentiality. And a relationship built to outlast the transaction that began it.
Small by design.
Three people, not a call centre. You work directly with the person handling your search, from first enquiry through to the keys.
Lars Hansen
Founded Vantage after more than a decade advising international buyers across the Costa del Sol. Handles the firm’s most discreet acquisitions personally and serves as the first point of contact for clients purchasing from abroad. With an in-depth understanding of Marbella’s luxury property market, Lars combines local expertise with a highly personalised approach, ensuring every client receives clear guidance throughout the buying process. His extensive network, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to discretion have earned the trust of buyers seeking exceptional homes and investment opportunities in Southern Spain.
Suhelen Magalhaes
As CEO, I lead the vision and direction of the company, specialising in Marbella’s luxury real estate market. With a passion for exceptional properties and a dedication to delivering a highly personalised client experience, I help buyers discover homes that reflect their lifestyle and aspirations. Alongside real estate, my journey in interior design began as a personal passion and has evolved into a professional expertise, allowing me to transform properties into elegant, timeless spaces. By combining market knowledge with a refined eye for design, I ensure every client benefits from a seamless experience and a home that is both beautiful and distinctive.
Daniel Kjær
Co-founded Vantage alongside Lars, drawing on hands-on experience advising international buyers across the Costa del Sol. Handles client relations from first enquiry through to completion, and leads the team’s marketing and digital presence, including the website. His background in finance gives him a sharp eye for the numbers behind a purchase, while his instinct for branding and digital detail keeps Vantage’s presence as polished as the properties it represents. Together with Lars and Suhelen, Daniel helps ensure every client is looked after from the very first enquiry to the moment they get the keys.
Discretion
Your search, your circumstances, and your name stay between us. Privacy is not a courtesy here, it is the standard.
Judgement
Honest counsel on value and timing, even when it costs us the sale. You deserve our opinion, not just our enthusiasm.
Permanence
We build relationships meant to outlast a single purchase, and most of our work comes from people who have trusted us before.
Every enquiry is handled personally by our team in Marbella, in complete confidence.
