About Philip
The person behind Philip Properties.
Philip Gustafsson is a personal luxury broker based in Marbella, working across the Costa del Sol for a small number of clients at a time — buyers, sellers and investors who want one dedicated advisor instead of an agency switchboard.
Philip speaks Spanish, English and Swedish
The story
Built on relationships, not listings.
Philip learned the business from the inside, spending years with the leading and largest brokerage firms on the Costa del Sol. That experience taught him how the coast's best homes are actually bought and sold — and where a large agency has to put its own interests first.
Philip's way of working is simple: the client's interest comes first, and the market is bigger than any single agency's portfolio. Through long-standing relationships with owners, developers and fellow brokers, he opens doors that stay closed to property portals — including homes that never reach the public market.
From the first conversation to the final signature, you deal with one person who knows your brief, your budget and your ambitions. That is why clients return for their second and third purchase — and why most new clients arrive through personal recommendation.
The result is the philosophy behind Philip Properties: Your Personal Luxury Broker — deep local knowledge, full discretion and genuine personal service across Marbella and the Costa del Sol.
The network
Everyone you need, one call away.
A purchase rarely ends at the signature. Philip keeps a small circle of trusted professionals on hand — so the people you need before, during and after the deal are already vetted and one message away.
Lawyers and notaries
Independent lawyers who review contracts, handle conveyancing and walk you through every clause before you sign.
Bank contacts
Introductions to banks and mortgage advisors who understand how international buyers finance a purchase in Spain.
Investors
A circle of investors and co-buyers for joint purchases, part-sales and opportunities that never reach the open market.
Interior designers
Designers and stylists who turn a newly bought property into a home — or into a rental that photographs beautifully.
Renovation crews
Builders, tradespeople and project managers for everything from a full renovation to a single kitchen update.

How Philip works
Three principles.
One advisor, start to finish
Philip personally handles every search, viewing and negotiation. You never get passed between assistants or departments — the advisor you meet first is the one who hands you the keys.
The whole market, not one portfolio
Philip is not tied to a single list of properties. His network of owners, developers and trusted fellow brokers means you see everything that matches — published or private.
Advice before the deal
A good purchase outlasts a good sales pitch. Philip gives honest guidance on price, location and long-term value, even when it means advising you to wait.
Where Philip works
From Nueva Andalucía to the whole coast.
Philip's focus is Marbella's most sought-after residential areas — and his network reaches the entire Costa del Sol, from first homes to €10M+ estates.
