The people

The team you'll actually be working with.

Other agencies hide behind logos. We'd rather you knew us first — because buying a home abroad comes down to trusting the people guiding you. Here's who we are.

Meet the team

Small team, real faces

From your first question to viewing day and completion, you'll deal with the same people throughout. No call centre, no hand-offs.

Liam O'Connor

Managing Director & Partner

Born in Sweden and shaped by my experiences across Ireland and Spain, my journey has always been driven by curiosity, ambition and passion for people. Along the way, I have met people from many cultures and backgrounds, each encounter enriching my worldview and shaping the person I am today.

Over the past 5 years working as a real estate agent, I have discovered what truly drives me: creating meaningful connections between people and the homes they dream of. In Marbella, at the heart of the Costa del Sol, I found not just a career but a calling. Seeing the excitement and joy in my clients’ eyes when they find the property that feels like the one is a feeling that never gets old.

My commitment is simple: to turn the dreams entrusted to me into reality, one property at a time. Every client’s story reminds me of my own path. A journey not only across countries but towards a deeper understanding of where I belong, and how I can help others find their place too.

Joakim Järnmalm

Managing Partner · Co-owner

My name is Joakim Järnmalm, and I am a co-owner of our real estate agency here on the Costa del Sol. With a background in project management and technical engineering, I’ve spent my career creating structure, clarity, and confidence in complex processes—skills that now help me guide clients safely through the property-buying journey in Spain.

Having personally purchased three properties here, I truly understand what buyers go through: the excitement, the expectations, and the many questions along the way. That firsthand experience allows me to support our clients with both professionalism and genuine empathy.

My goal is simple: to make your buying journey smooth, transparent, and secure—so that you can feel just as at home here as I do.

Anna O'Connor

Marketing & Office Coordinator

I was born and raised in Dalarna, Sweden, and the straightforward, sincere character of that region still guides how I work and communicate. My background in Business and Administration naturally led me into coordination and management roles, where I’ve learned to create structure, clarity, and reliable systems.

Having lived in Sweden, England, Ireland, and now Spain, I’m comfortable navigating different cultures and ways of working. This helps me support both colleagues and clients with a calm, organised approach.

At Top Ten Marbella, I manage the administrative side of our operations, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and efficiency throughout the process. My goal is to maintain a solid framework that makes our work — and our clients’ experience — smooth, trustworthy, and professional.
