Oliver Karlsson
I am from southern Sweden but have been fortunate enough to have an international upbringing. When I was little, my father worked in both the US and Hong Kong, so I have had the opportunity to travel and experience many different cultures. It was probably then that I became interested in living and working abroad.
I achieved an international Bachelor's degree in Hotel and Design Management in Switzerland, which taught me a lot about focusing on professional treatment, hard work, and what it takes to make a customer happy.
I started my career in the hotel industry when I helped open The Ritz-Carlton in the Abu Dhabi Grand Canal. It was incredibly exciting and educational; I learned how to deliver five-star service, which has helped me achieve the goals I have set for myself.
Later, I moved to Tenerife, where I worked at The Ritz Carlton's exclusive Golf Resort. Here, I learned the Spanish language, which is a great advantage when working as a broker in Spain.
I have lived in Marbella since February 2019 and was previously managing a Swedish Real Estate Agency, which was a very big success. There are obvious reasons why I enjoy living in Marbella such as the lovely climate, the culture, and the unbeatable Spanish cuisine. But I also like the international atmosphere that I think is missing in the Nordic countries. There are plenty of Swedes here, but it's also fun to get to know people from all over the world. In addition, there is a wide variety of fun outdoor activities.
