Get to Know "The Big One"
Michael Bennett founded El Gordo Real Estate after moving to Marbella, where he identified a significant need for a real estate agency, advisory services, investment opportunities, and overall improvement in the industry.
​
While there were certainly many capable agents, he observed that a large number of others were unprofessional and clearly unqualified—perpetually late, uninformed about the market, and unable to create any real value for their clients.
​
Michael set out to change the client experience on both the buy and sell sides, working to create a radically different approach by developing bespoke, curated plans to help clients achieve their goals.
With 20 years of experience in real estate as a broker, investor, and institutional asset manager, Michael manages a portfolio of properties valued at over $350 million USD. He has also led transactions totaling more than $1 billion
But wait, there's more
At El Gordo Real Estate, we operate exclusively through bespoke, concierge-level agreements—whether representing buyers or sellers. We understand that apprehension toward exclusive listings often stems from a lack of professionalism among the "Ryanair" agents who saturate the market. Our "Exclusive Only" approach is designed to eliminate such concerns, ensuring that each client receives the highest standard of service, dedicated attention, and seamless communication. By focusing on exclusivity, we offer a refined, bespoke experience that is serious, skilled, and relentlessly client-focused—delivering results that only a true concierge approach can achieve.
​
What sets El Gordo Real Estate apart is its commitment to providing a unique and memorable online presence. The inclusion of multilingual chatbot support further enhances accessibility for non-English speakers, catering to the diverse expat community that calls Marbella home.
​
Speaking of the expat community, El Gordo goes above and beyond to serve this demographic. Unlike other agencies in the area, El Gordo prides itself on its business acumen and unwavering dedication to exceptional customer service. By prioritizing the needs of its clients, El Gordo ensures that every transaction is seamless and stress-free, turning the daunting process of buying or renting a luxury home into a delightful experience.
