About VIMARA

Different paths.One standard.

VIMARA was founded around a simple idea: great real estate advice requires more than market access. It requires understanding the asset, understanding the people behind the transaction, and representing both with judgement, discretion and clarity.

Two different perspectives.One way of working.

Marco brings analytical rigour, investment perspective and transaction strategy. Victoria brings entrepreneurial instinct, international perspective and an exceptional understanding of people.

Together, they approach every transaction from both sides: the asset and the person behind it.

Marco Malavolti

Co-Founder — Strategy & Real Estate Advisory

Marco brings to VIMARA an analytical and investment-led perspective shaped by more than seven years across real estate advisory, institutional asset management, valuation and prime residential markets.

His background in portfolio analysis, business planning and complex real estate strategy gives him a rigorous way of assessing value, risk and positioning beyond the purely commercial layer.

Combined with specialised training in Real Estate Law and experience in Barcelona’s prime residential market, his approach starts with understanding the asset before deciding how it should be positioned, negotiated and brought to market.

Marco brings an analytical and investment-led perspective to residential real estate, built through more than seven years across advisory, asset management, valuation and prime residential markets.

Before specialising in luxury residential real estate, he spent several years in institutional real estate asset management, analysing and valuing property portfolios, developing business plans and defining investment, positioning and exit strategies for complex assets.

Working alongside financial institutions, professional investors and specialist advisors gave him a rigorous understanding of how value is assessed, how risk is identified and how real estate decisions are structured beyond the purely commercial layer.

He later moved into Barcelona’s prime residential market, advising national and international clients on valuation, positioning, marketing and negotiation.

Marco also has specialised training in Real Estate Law, bringing an additional legal and documentary perspective to the way VIMARA approaches transactions.

At VIMARA, his approach begins with understanding the asset — its value, context, risks and potential — before deciding how it should be positioned, negotiated and brought to market.

Victoria Marin

Co-Founder — International Clients & Negotiation

Victoria brings to VIMARA a truly international perspective, shaped by a life and career spanning music, entrepreneurship, luxury, international business and prime real estate.

More than three decades working across cultures have shaped her strongest assets: business instinct, an understanding of people and the ability to navigate complex relationships and negotiations with confidence.

Today, she brings that experience to VIMARA with a deeply personal view of luxury — one built around trust, discretion and the quality of the relationship.

READ VICTORIA’S STORY ↓CLOSE STORY ↑

Victoria brings to VIMARA a truly international perspective, shaped by a life and career that have taken her across continents, cultures and industries — from music and luxury manufacturing to international business and prime real estate.

Her journey began in music, taking her around the world on tour and introducing her to people and cultures far beyond her own. With an Asian-European background, she grew up with an instinctive understanding of different perspectives, ways of communicating and ways of doing business. Music taught her something that has stayed with her throughout her career: how to read a room, understand people and create a connection quickly.

She then turned her entrepreneurial spirit to the world of luxury, building and running her own international jewellery business in Asia for 18 years. She designed and manufactured jewellery and luxury leather goods for luxury businesses and major international retail groups, while also developing her own brand. Working across design, manufacturing, international clients and commercial negotiations gave her an unusually complete understanding of how a luxury business works from the inside.

More than 30 years as an entrepreneur have also shaped her strongest asset: business instinct. Knowing when to seize an opportunity, when to listen, when to negotiate and when to walk away — and understanding that successful business is ultimately about people.

That international experience eventually led her into Barcelona’s prime residential market, where she held senior positions within leading international luxury real estate firms and advised owners and buyers through complex and often highly personal property transactions.

Today, Victoria brings all of these experiences to VIMARA. She combines an international outlook, entrepreneurial instinct and a genuine understanding of people to see beyond the transaction — understanding what clients really want, creating trust and navigating negotiations with confidence, discretion and a personal touch.

For Victoria, luxury is not simply about the property. It is about the experience, the relationship and the confidence that someone is truly looking after your interests.

Different strengths.One VIMARA.

VIMARA brings together two complementary ways of understanding real estate: rigorous analysis and human judgement, strategy and instinct, structure and relationship.

That combination shapes how we represent sellers, advise buyers and approach every transaction.
