Who we are
Family-run. Hands-on. Honest.
Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. Dutch by nationality, a Costa del Sol resident by choice. Glaser Real Estate (the brokerage side) was founded in 2019; the rental management division, Glaser Holiday Homes SL, runs short-let, mid-stay and long-stay properties across the coastal strip and inland into the Guadalhorce valley, with Alhaurín el Grande as one of the inland anchors. On the rental side we are an Airbnb Superhost.
Alhaurín el Grande has its own commercial niche on the Costa del Sol. The local golf course drives year-round green-fee bookings most inland towns don’t have. The established British and Belgian retiree communities create a referral network that makes the long-stay winter audience genuinely workable. The pueblo blanco aesthetic, Plaza Alta, Iglesia de la Encarnación, the whitewash-and-bougainvillea streets of the casco, is precisely what the editorial guest is searching for. We design listings around what makes Alhaurín actually different, not a generic inland-Andalucía template.
In Alhaurín el Grande, each owner has a senior team member as direct contact, statements every month without surprises, and a straight answer when something is not working. Family-run, hands-on, and built for owners who want the local golf shoulder-season, the British-and-Belgian winter retiree audience, the editorial-pueblo bookings and the Día del Tomate week worked properly together.
“A home we would not suggest to a friend is a home we decline.”
A single point of contact
Each Alhaurín el Grande owner deals directly with a senior member of the team. The British and Belgian expat communities in the golf and urbanisation crowd talk to each other, a swap-the-account-manager model gets noticed and gets resented. We don’t run it.
An owner’s monthly statement
Itemised monthly statement for every Alhaurín el Grande property, gross rental, golf-week premiums where applicable, comunidad fees on stock inside built-up urbanisations, cleaning and turnover costs, platform commission and management fee all shown separately. In January, a year-end summary for the Spanish tax year.
We handle the Alhaurín paperwork
Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation and SES.HOSPEDAJES guest registration within 24 hours. For Alhaurín el Grande specifically, the comunidad-status check on apartments and golf-side villas inside built-up urbanisations is the upstream piece, we read the minutes before any contract is signed.
Multilingual guest service
We handle guests in Dutch, English, Spanish and German. Alhaurín’s guest mix is heavy on British and Belgian winter retirees, English-speaking golf groups, and Spanish summer families, every message goes to a real person who actually speaks the guest’s language. The visiting golf demographic in particular notices when they get bot replies.
Both sides should be sure
We open for owners who want one hands-on manager working the local golf demand, the expat-referral winter audience and the casco editorial bookings together. We say no when the fit isn’t right (a property that won’t survive a Día del Tomate weekend, a villa with no AC for July nights), with the reason given.
