Maiti Homes pairs two decades of Marbella expertise with certified credentials, multilingual service and full-cycle offerings — a practical model for international buyers seeking compliant, reliable agencies in Spain.
Maiti Homes, a leading Marbella specialist founded by Marianne Steneholm in 1999, combines local market depth with multilingual client service and a philanthropic mission tied to Maiti Nepal. Their profile — certified real‑estate credentials, a team fluent in six languages and a full service offer that includes sales, rentals and property management — makes them a useful model for international buyers assessing agency compliance and competence in Spain.

Maiti Homes presents a compact, transparent operating model: an agency led by a founder with a degree in economics and property valuation, registered contact details in Marbella and visible business practices (sales listings, rental management and collaborative inventory). For international buyers this visible trail — clear contact, team bios, multilingual support and a public charity commitment — signals an agency that documents its operations and client touchpoints.
Maiti Homes structures services around three buyer needs: vacation and investment properties, long‑term rentals and after‑sale management. Their site and team pages show staff roles for sales, sales support and administration — an operational layout that helps international clients understand who handles viewings, contracts and ongoing property care. That clarity reduces the friction foreigners typically face when buying from abroad.
On the Costa del Sol, where Marbella leads regional pricing, an agent who tracks local transaction patterns and publishes market commentary helps buyers gauge value. Agencies like Maiti Homes — with long tenure in Marbella — bring neighbourhood price context that complements national statistics and supports compliant, documented offers that stand up in legal checks and notary reviews.

International buyers commonly face three practical hurdles: information asymmetry, language barriers and post‑purchase property care. Maiti Homes addresses these through multilingual staff, defined contact roles and combined sales‑management offerings so buyers receive continuity from search through settlement and beyond. This approach lowers transactional risk and supports regulatory compliance such as correct use of reservation contracts and documented powers of attorney when needed.
Agencies that combine documented local presence, certified credentials and a full‑cycle service stack materially reduce the unknowns in a cross‑border purchase. In Spain’s rising market — where national house prices rose significantly in 2024 and Marbella remains a premium micro‑market —working with an agency that knows micro‑pricing, has established legal contacts and offers rental management is a practical risk‑mitigation strategy.
What sets Maiti Homes apart is a visible founder history (active in Marbella since 1999), a declared academic background in property valuation, multilingual agents targeting Nordic and broader European clients, and a published public commitment to charity work. These are verifiable signals: longevity, documented qualifications and public accountability.
Maiti Homes frequently supports buyers from first enquiry through rental or management setup — an outcome profile important to investors who expect seamless operations. Their listings, rental offerings and collaborating properties demonstrate repeat business models that many international buyers prefer when they cannot be on site year‑round.
Concluding thoughts: for international buyers focused on Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Maiti Homes exemplifies an agency that bundles local experience, documented credentials and operational services. When assessing any Spanish agent, look for the same set of public signals — founding history, professional qualifications, named local contacts, multilingual staffing, clear offerings (sales, rentals, management) and visible community accountability — and you will greatly reduce cross‑border risk while improving outcomes.
