Carin's story

From Scandinavia to the Costa del Sol

“I sell homes the way I would want to buy one. Honestly, calmly, and with every detail checked.”

Carin grew up in Scandinavia, where homes are built around light and simplicity. When she moved to Marbella more than a decade ago, she brought that eye with her: an instinct for how a space feels at different hours, how materials age, and what makes a house quietly exceptional.

Before founding CA Estates she worked with buyers and sellers across the coast, learning the market street by street. What she saw was a gap: many agencies, but few that took the time to truly understand what each client wanted, or to stay with them after the keys changed hands.

CA Estates was her answer. A boutique agency by design, working with a limited number of clients at a time so each receives her personal attention, from the first conversation to the notary and beyond.

Today Carin helps families, investors and second-home owners from across Europe, in Swedish, English, Danish and Norwegian. Many come back, and many more arrive through their recommendation.

What we stand for

Three values, in everything we do

01

Expertise

More than ten years on the coast. Honest valuations, careful due diligence and advice grounded in recent sales, not headlines.

02

Discretion

Many of our clients value privacy above all. Off-market sales, confidential viewings and information shared only when it should be.

03

Local knowledge

Which street, which side, which building. The details that matter most are rarely online, and they are what we know best.

Trusted network

The right people, introduced at the right moment

Over more than a decade, Carin has built a close circle of professionals she trusts personally. You speak to one person; she brings in the rest.

Lawyers

Independent, English-speaking property lawyers for due diligence, contracts and completion.

Mortgage brokers

Specialists in non-resident financing, comparing Spanish and international lenders.

Interior designers

Studios working in natural materials, from a single room to a full renovation.

Contractors

Builders and project managers we have worked with for years, on time and on budget.
