How Denise Got Here
Denise Guerrero relocated to Málaga and went through the same process her clients face now. New city, unfamiliar systems, a long list of things to figure out before anything feels settled. That experience gave her something most agents don't have: a genuine understanding of what it's like to be on the buyer's side of the table.
She built her practice around a simple idea — that buying a home in Málaga shouldn't mean guessing your way through it. Whether you're moving to Málaga from the U.S., the U.K., somewhere else in Europe, or relocating within Spain, Denise has walked a version of your path.
What to Expect When You Work with Denise
Denise keeps things clear and low-pressure. Here's what that looks like in practice.
She listens before she recommends. Your first conversation is about your priorities — budget, timeline, lifestyle, neighborhoods — not a sales pitch. She asks questions to understand what matters to you, then builds a plan around that.
She curates instead of flooding. Rather than forwarding every listing that hits the market, Denise sends you a focused shortlist of properties that actually match what you described. If something doesn't fit, she'll tell you why before you waste a trip.
She communicates on your schedule. Whether you prefer email, WhatsApp, or a call, Denise works with the rhythm that suits you. She's responsive without being pushy — and if you need a few weeks to think, she won't fill your inbox in the meantime.
Discretion is standard. Your financial details, timeline, and personal circumstances stay between you and Denise. She treats every client's information with care, whether you're buying your first apartment or your third.
Neighborhoods Denise Knows Best
Denise focuses on three of Málaga's most sought-after areas, each with a distinct character.
Centro Histórico is the old city center — narrow streets, historic buildings, and a pace of life that puts everything within walking distance. Denise knows which blocks are quieter than they look and which ones get loud on weekends.
Soho sits just south of Centro and has become Málaga's creative quarter. Galleries, independent restaurants, and a growing community of people who moved here for the atmosphere. Denise can walk you through what's changing and what's already settled in.
Teatinos is the modern, residential side of Málaga — close to the university, with newer buildings and a calmer daily rhythm. It's where Denise often points families and buyers who want more space without leaving the city.
She also works with properties in other Málaga neighborhoods when they're the right fit. But Centro, Soho, and Teatinos are where her knowledge runs deepest.
How Denise Helps You Find the Right Home
The process Denise follows is designed to reduce decision fatigue, not add to it.
Shortlisting. After your first conversation, Denise puts together a curated selection based on what you told her. She includes context for each property — not just specs, but how the building feels, what the street is like, and whether the listing price makes sense for the area. You can also browse current listings on your own time to flag anything that catches your eye.
Viewings. When you're ready to see properties in person, Denise organizes your visits so they're efficient and focused. No rushing between twelve apartments in a day. She plans viewings that give you time to notice the details — light, noise, layout, the walk to the nearest market.
Guidance through the process. Buying property in Spain involves steps that may be new to you — reservation contracts, NIE numbers, notary appointments. Denise walks you through each one at a high level and connects you with legal and financial professionals who handle the details. The buying guide is a good starting point if you want to read ahead.
Backed by Kensington International
Denise works under the Kensington International brand, a network of real estate professionals across Spain. That means access to shared market knowledge, a broader property network, and a layer of professional structure behind every transaction.
This isn't about name-dropping. It's about having support in place so that nothing falls through the cracks — especially when you're managing a purchase from abroad.

Frequently asked questions
How do I start working with Denise?
The easiest first step is to book a call. Denise will ask about your goals, budget, preferred neighborhoods, and timeline. From there, she'll put together a plan — whether that means starting a property search right away or mapping things out for a move that's still months away.
Does Denise work with buyers who are still living abroad?
Yes, and it's one of the most common situations she handles. Most of the early work — understanding your priorities, curating a shortlist, answering questions — happens remotely by email, phone, or WhatsApp. Viewings are arranged for when you're ready to visit. Read the relocation guide for a broader picture of planning a move from abroad.
What languages does Denise speak?
Denise works comfortably in English and Spanish. If your situation involves another language, she can coordinate with trusted colleagues or interpreters to make sure nothing gets lost.
How long should I plan for a viewing trip to Málaga?
Most buyers find that three to five days gives them enough time to see a focused shortlist and get a feel for each neighborhood. Denise organizes viewings to make the most of your time, so you won't feel rushed. Get in touch to plan your trip once you've narrowed things down.
What information should I share with Denise before we start?
A rough budget, your preferred timeline, the type of property you're looking for, and any neighborhood preferences are all helpful. But none of that needs to be final. Denise is used to working with buyers who are still shaping their plans — she'll help you refine as you go.
How does Denise help reduce the overwhelm of buying in a new city?
She filters. Instead of giving you access to thousands of listings and letting you sort through them, Denise curates a shortlist based on what you've told her. She also explains context — neighborhood dynamics, building quality, pricing patterns — so you're making decisions with real information rather than guessing. The listings page is there when you want to browse on your own, but you don't have to start there.
Will Denise pressure me to make a fast decision?
No. Her approach is the opposite. Denise gives you the information and space to decide on your own terms. If she thinks a property isn't right for you, she'll say so — even if it means waiting longer. Her goal is the right home, not a quick close.
Does Denise only work in Centro Histórico, Soho, and Teatinos?
Those are her primary focus areas — Centro Histórico, Soho, and Teatinos. But she also works with properties in other Málaga neighborhoods when they match a client's needs. If your ideal home turns out to be somewhere else in the city, she'll let you know.
Can Denise help with the legal side of buying?
Denise isn't a lawyer, so she doesn't provide legal advice directly. What she does is connect you with trusted legal professionals who specialize in Spanish property transactions and coordinate with them throughout the process. That way, you're covered without having to manage every moving part yourself. The buying process overview explains how legal support fits in.
What if I'm not ready to buy yet — can I still reach out?
Absolutely. Many of Denise's clients start with a conversation months before they're ready to commit. It's a good way to understand the market, explore neighborhoods, and figure out your timeline. Reach out whenever it makes sense for you — there's no minimum level of readiness required.
