How it actually lives
Layout, orientation, and where the light falls through the day. A villa that photographs well in May can be dark by November. We read the plan against the way you actually want to live in it.
An agency built by an architect
DIEZ is a real estate agency in Marbella and across the Costa del Sol, working with buyers, sellers, and investors. The difference sits at the top: the founder is an architect, and every property that carries our name has been walked, read, and understood.
Every property we offer has been walked, measured, and understood before it reaches you.
Curated, architect-founded, and discreet
DIEZ keeps a deliberately small selection across Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Every property is read with an architect's eye before it carries our name, and the experience stays quiet and personal, whether you are buying, selling, or investing.
- Curated
- A small selection, chosen property by property.

What an architect sees that a viewing doesn't
What is behind the finish
Structure, build quality, damp, settlement, and the planning or technical issues a viewing never shows. We find what was built well and what will cost you later, before you commit.
What our clients say
They told us what was wrong with three houses we loved, before we made an offer on the fourth. That conversation alone paid for itself.

An agency with an architect at the table
I am an architect and project manager, and I have spent more than a decade in the Costa del Sol property market. DIEZ is the agency I built on that experience.
The work is what you would expect of a good agency: a curated selection, honest valuations, careful negotiation, and a clean process through to completion.
The difference is what sits underneath it. I read every property as a building first: its structure, its orientation, its quality, its risks. Whether you are buying, selling, or investing, you decide with that reading in hand.
