About Callum Swan Realty Marbella Discretion Knowledge Experience Integrity

CALLUM SWAN REALTY operates from tasteful, comfortable premises next door to the Marbella Club Hotel on the Golden Mile that feel more like a home than an office. The welcome is equally informal and personal, suited to a small boutique real estate consultancy that specialises in the sale and rental of luxury properties in and around Marbella.

The small team of experienced professionals knows this market well and has worked together for many years, forming a well-functioning unit dedicated to offering a personal, bespoke service and producing results – be it finding the ideal home or marketing a property with effect. We are successful in this because we take the time to do it thoroughly.

Callum Swan

Callum Swan is a well-known figure in Marbella's real estate circles, having been responsible for some of the city's most high-profile sales over a career spanning more than 30 years. He has built a solid reputation for himself through his expert knowledge and ethical approach, which has resulted in several lifelong friendships with clients who return to him again and again, valuing his shrewd advice.

Despite his impressive background, Callum remains understated in his profile, eschewing overly aggressive advertising strategies and relying mostly on word of mouth. He firmly believes in putting in the time and effort to become an expert and acting with integrity, values that set him apart even in the early days of his career.

Callum's journey in real estate began in his late teens when he moved to Marbella from the North of England. He quickly proved his talent and diligence by closing a multi-million Euro sale against all odds in just three months, earning him a stellar reputation and propelling him to the forefront of the industry. For over a decade, he continued to hone his skills at a leading luxury agency in Marbella until he founded his boutique consultancy with his wife Louise in 2010.

Their goal was to create a small, close-knit environment that fosters a friendly, non-competitive culture while continuing their success in the industry. Callum is the lead consultant at the agency and is well-known for his refreshingly honest style.

Callum is deeply passionate about Marbella, having lived there for so long and raised a family there. The city's unique lifestyle is a significant source of inspiration for him, and in his free time, he enjoys taking advantage of the area's amenities, such as playing golf at the prestigious Royal Las Brisas Golf Club.

Louise Swan

Louise Swan is the co-founder and driving force behind the consultancy. Originally from the UK, she has called Marbella home since her early teenage years when she emigrated from England with her family. She quickly adapted to the local lifestyle, language, and culture and completed her education in Spain, attending both Swans School and Aloha College. Louise pursued a career in real estate after finishing school. Her talent and ambition led her to a prominent position as sales director at leading international agency Sotheby’s International Realty, where she worked for 23 years. Working with a large international firm, she was exposed to the fundamentals of branding, marketing and business management.

In 2010 Louise set up Callum Swan Realty, with Callum. After several years managing a large team in the corporate environment, Louise relished the opportunity to help create a small, boutique consultancy. She deliberately built a small team of people who share the company’s ethos, most of whom she had known for years. She particularly enjoys the relaxed, friendly atmosphere in the office and runs the day-to-day operations behind the scenes.

Louise's vast knowledge of Marbella is invaluable. Having raised her family here and attended local schools, she understands the area's lifestyle, culture, and community. Additionally, her children went to school in Marbella, then to university in Madrid, providing her with a unique perspective on the education system and opportunities available to families in the area.

Her passion for Marbella is contagious, and she is always eager to share her insights and recommendations with clients.  She feels extremely lucky to have grown up in such a special area. When she’s not working, Louise enjoys travelling, exploring the area, walking her dogs or spending time cooking for friends and family.

Sabrina Cedron

Sabrina Cedron is an indispensable team member and “right hand” to Callum and Louise. She manages a wide range of responsibilities and tasks across rentals, sales and operations, yet her unique talent lies in making it all look seamless.

Beginning her career in real estate at the age of 19 and having worked as Louise’s PA in her previous company, Sabrina understands the industry inside out. Sabrina's day-to-day role at Callum Swan Realty is incredibly diverse, allowing her to get out of the office and explore new properties first-hand, as well as dealing with clients, contracts and listings behind the scenes.

Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Sabrina spent her formative years in the United States before her family, from Marbella, decided to return to their homeland when she was six. As a result, she is fluent in both Spanish and English and truly bilingual. This is a fantastic skill which helps in her role, where she often deals with clients of different nationalities.

Sabrina considers Marbella her hometown, and every time she leaves and returns, she is reminded of the city's unique qualities. She holds the local people in high regard, describing them as "treasures," and fully embraces the Spanish culture. In fact, Sabrina pursued flamenco dancing to a semi-professional level in her teens. Over the years she has enjoyed seeing Marbella grow, developing its infrastructure and becoming the vibrant resort it is now. She maintains, however, that Marbella has always been an international city and indeed, this is one of the reasons she loves it here.

When not hard at work, Sabrina is an active member of the Marbella community, regularly volunteering to help others. She has an exceptional understanding of the local area, having raised a family in Marbella herself. After her own international experience, she is intimately familiar with the needs and wants of international clients looking to move to this beautiful city.

Clare James

Clare James specialises in sales at Callum Swan Realty, where she has been a valued team member for many years. Clare’s unwavering commitment to her work is driven by her belief that in real estate, “you have to feel it,” a philosophy that she lives and breathes. Not only is Clare hugely passionate about Marbella and its fantastic lifestyle, but she’s fanatical about property too. Clare is in her element when she’s exploring the city’s best homes and finding the ideal location for clients. It’s a subject she loves so much that she’s often talking about it, even outside of work.

Originally from England, Clare left behind a career in visual display and design for high-end retailers to pursue her dream of living in Marbella over 30 years ago. Her previous experience has proven to be a valuable asset in her current role, allowing her to utilise her creative eye and people skills to great effect. Clare understands that to succeed in real estate sales, listening skills are most important. She enjoys working with buyers to guide them, and the interaction with people is the part of the role she loves the most.

Prior to joining Callum Swan Realty, Clare developed her career in real estate, also in Marbella. She worked with a diverse clientele, ranging from prospective buyers on inspection flights to established residents. This valuable experience has made Clare an expert in Marbella and its properties, which she now leverages to benefit her team at Callum Swan Realty.

Clare considers herself extremely lucky to live in Marbella, where walking on the beach is part of her daily routine. She has absolutely no regrets about swapping the London commute for blue skies. Her love for the city is evident, and she is always happy to share her insider tips and knowledge with clients and colleagues alike.

Vivienne Punzelt

Vivienne’s journey bridges cultures and countries, giving her a unique perspective and a natural ability to connect with people. Born in Munich, Germany, and having spent five formative years in Alicante, she has always felt a deep connection to Spain—one that continues to influence her both personally and professionally. Fluent in German, English, and Spanish, she communicates with ease and authenticity, making her a confident presence in any international setting.

With a degree in International Business, Vivienne started her career in Human Resources within the business and aviation sectors. Over two years, she worked closely with people from diverse backgrounds, gaining valuable insight into what motivates individuals. These are skills she now applies daily in her role in real estate.

In 2024, guided by intuition and a desire to reconnect with her Spanish roots, she moved to Marbella. She quickly felt at home in the city’s vibrant community and international atmosphere. Soon after, she began her real estate career and now works as a Listing and Sales Agent with Callum Swan Realty, combining her people skills, multicultural background, and clear communication to support clients through every step of the process.

Grounded and social, she enjoys meditation, dancing, and spending time with friends, always drawn to meaningful connection. Her love for Spanish culture and good food is reflected in her everyday life, from exploring local markets to enjoying long meals with friends. She also enjoys discovering new places, whether around Marbella or while travelling, always seeking inspiration and new perspectives. Vivienne is committed to growing both personally and professionally, while helping others find their place in Marbella—just as she has.

Amanda Beall

Originally from La Línea de la Concepción, a coastal town nestled between Cádiz and Gibraltar, Amanda’s story is shaped by two cultures. With an American father and a Spanish mother, she grew up between the warmth of southern Spain and the desert landscapes of Arizona, gaining a deep appreciation for both places—and becoming fully bilingual in Spanish and English along the way.

Amanda holds a degree in International Hospitality and Design Management from the renowned Swiss Hotel Management School in Switzerland. During her time at university, she developed strong leadership skills, learning how to communicate effectively, work collaboratively, and step confidently into professional environments. These qualities now support her in her first professional role as Office Administrator, where she brings a natural sense of organization, professionalism, and initiative to the team. Her attention to detail, creative thinking, and ability to multitask make her a reliable point of contact in the day-to-day operations of the office.

But there's much more to Amanda than her impressive work ethic. Outside of work, she enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, sharing laughs, stories, and good food. She finds inspiration in music, books, architecture, and art—and loves exploring her passion for interior design whenever she can. Her warm personality, creativity, and sharp sense of humor make her an instant connector with both colleagues and clients alike.

After years of moving back and forth, Amanda has come to know exactly where she feels most grounded. Andalucía isn’t just where she lives—it’s home. The people, the culture, and the sense of belonging it offers have given her a feeling of permanence she hadn’t found elsewhere. It’s where she sees her future, and where she continues to build both a career and a life she loves.

Callum Swan is in many ways different from the majority of property agents on the Costa del Sol. To start with, it is a small and very personal company that offers a bespoke service designed around our clients. The fact that we are an independent consultancy means we can offer the most impartial advice, where the only criterion is serving your interests with authoritative information. For the latter we draw on many years of experience and a detailed knowledge of the local property market.
