Thinking of selling your property?

Because at SOBE your property is handled by the people whose names are on the company — not passed down a chain of agents. Fewer mandates mean deeper attention: we know every buyer we introduce, prepare every viewing personally, and manage the legal and tax side of the transaction through to completion. To take responsibility, so our clients don't have to.

The time it takes to sell a property in Marbella can vary based on several factors, such as the property's location, pricing, and the current market conditions. On average, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to sell a well-priced property in Marbella. However, if the property is priced competitively, in a desirable area, and marketed effectively, it may sell faster. Working with an experienced real estate agent can help streamline the process and attract the right buyers more quickly.

If you want to sell your property discreetly with SOBE Invest, we offer tailored services that respect your privacy and keep the sale confidential. Here's how we handle a discreet property sale:

• Private Listing: Your property won’t be widely advertised on public platforms. Instead, we present it directly to pre-qualified and serious buyers through our exclusive network.
• Selective Marketing: We use targeted and discreet marketing strategies, reaching out only to potential buyers who meet your criteria.
• Confidentiality: All personal details and property information are handled with the utmost confidentiality. We ensure that only vetted buyers have access to your property details.
• Private Viewings: We arrange private, one-on-one viewings with interested buyers to avoid public open houses and minimize exposure.

At SOBE Invest, we understand the need for privacy and can help you navigate a discreet sale while maximizing your property's potential.

Not from wishful thinking, and not from portal listings — those show asking prices, not what buyers actually pay. We prepare a valuation based on closed transactions in your area, current buyer demand, and the specific strengths of your property. You receive an honest number and the reasoning behind it, so the decision is always yours to make.

Selectively, not loudly. Professional photography and film, a cinematic video tour on our YouTube channel, targeted placement in front of qualified international buyers — and direct introductions to clients already in our network whose brief matches your property. Every property gets a strategy, not just a listing.

Yes — this is one of the most common requests we receive. Off-market sales are a core part of how SOBE works: your property is presented privately to vetted buyers only, with no portals, no signage, and no public exposure. Discretion is not a premium option; it is simply how we operate when you ask for it.

When selling a property with SOBE Invest, you can expect the following fees:

• Real Estate Agency Commission: Typically, real estate agencies charge a commission of around 5% of the final sale price. This fee is agreed upon before listing your property and is payable upon the successful sale.
• Legal Fees: You will likely need a lawyer to handle the legal aspects of the sale, such as contracts and paperwork. Legal fees generally range from €1,000 to €2,000, depending on the complexity of the transaction.
• Capital Gains Tax (CGT): If you make a profit on the sale, you may be subject to capital gains tax. The rate for non-residents is 19%, while residents may have different rates depending on personal circumstances.
• Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): It's mandatory to have an Energy Performance Certificate when selling a property in Spain. The cost of obtaining an EPC is typically between €100 and €300.
• Plusvalía Tax: This is a municipal tax on the increase in land value since the property was purchased. The exact amount depends on the property's location and how long you've owned it.

SOBE Invest can guide you through these fees, ensuring transparency and helping you plan accordingly for the sale.
