Nordica has built up a strong reputation as a rentals specialist, but it is also very much a real estate company involved in sales, and has been so, right from the beginning. Where rentals are very much Anna Lena’s department, sales are headed up by Peter, ensuring that this is a family-run business in the true sense of the word.

A vital role within the sales department is played by Susanne Mairena Eriksson, an experienced real estate professional who has pretty much had a lifelong love affair with Marbella. “I first came here from Sweden when I was just ten months old,” says Susanne, whose parents were to visit Marbella twice a year for years to come before buying a property here. “By the time I was a teenager I knew the area inside out, and when a friend and I came to stay at my parents’ place for an extended holiday that turned into a much longer stay.” Continue reading »

In earlier articles we interviewed the teams responsible for short and long term rentals at Nordica, but such a large operation requires an efficient turnover of properties to keep it running smoothly, and at the heart of this is the cleaning and maintenance service managed by Tia Watt-Roy.

As one of the leading specialist rental companies on the Costa del Sol, Nordica Rentals has built up a great deal of expertise in both short and long-term letting. That each of these fields has its own specialisations, demands and methodology is clear from our recent interview with Ana Wollin, from the short-term rentals department. Where demand for short-term properties in the Marbella area is maintained on a year-round basis by golfers and other visitors to the coast, it naturally reaches a feverish peak during the summer months, when Ana and her colleagues are rushed off their feet. For Minerva and Margaretha, in long-term rentals, the year is more even yet really gets going in September. Continue reading »

Anna Wollin is a part of the multinational and multilingual team at the heart of Nordica Rentals. Though Swedish-born, she has lived in Marbella since she was two years old, so she qualifies both as a Swede and a local.

“I suppose the advantage is that I am fluent in both Spanish and Swedish, and having grown up here also in English,” says Anna. “Naturally, it’s about more than the language alone. Communication is also about understanding people’s mentality and where they are coming from, and like many of my colleagues here I have this affinity with several different nationalities, which helps greatly in a service-oriented business like ours.” Continue reading »
