Hi, My name is Dirk. I am 60 years young and have been a real estate agent on the Costa del Sol for over 15 years.
I was born in Sri Lanka and emigrated to London with my family when I was 13. I then worked in retail management for Wickes and B&Q until I lived in Spain 17 years ago. I have a daughter Nichola, a son Calvin and a grandson, Jayden. I live with my partner Inge in Riviera del Sol.
I love my job because I get to meet many interesting people from all over the world, and I can help them find their dream holiday home avoiding the pitfalls I experienced when I first bought a property in Spain over 25 years ago.
Next to the real estate business, I project manage renovations to help new owners to get their properties just the way they like to meet their specific needs. With over 30 years in the DIY business, this makes me the perfect person to guide them.
People describe me as social, friendly, helpful, honest and relaxed.
I love to travel and socialise with family and friends when I am not working. I enjoy organising parties and entertaining people at home.
I hope to meet you soon!
Hola 😉 my name is Inge,I am 50 years old, of Belgian nationality and living with my partner Dirk and two sons, Gilles and Maxime, in Riviera del Sol. I studied law school in Ghent and after being an insurance broker for more then 20 years I decided to come and live on this beautiful Coast.
Being active in the real estate on the Costa del Sol for almost 10 years now and speaking 5 languages, I do have the knowledge to give you professional advice and guidance in your search for a holiday or permanent home in the South of Spain.
People describe me as honest, energetic, emphatic, helpful and solution minded.
In my opinion the criteria of a good real estate agent are:
At Riviera for Sale we have all these qualities to make the process of buying or selling in Spain as easy as possible.
I love my job and get the biggest thrill when I get that picture from my clients of them enjoying a glass of cava on their new terrace and being happy with their new home.
Outside the working hours, I love to do yoga and pilates on the beach, cook for friends at home, spend time with my family in a chiringuito and go for long walks with my dog Bo on the boardwalk.
My life motto is ‘go the extra mile, it’s never crowded’ … and I apply this in my professional and personal life!
I hope to meet you soon!
