Meet Irma van Tellingen

Irma van Tellingen serves as a Personal Property Advisor for the Costa Blanca, bringing refined intuition and genuine connection to each client relationship. Nearly two decades ago, she embraced the Mediterranean lifestyle, choosing to make this sunlit coast her home. Irma is known for her approachable presence and unwavering discretion, guiding HNW and UHNW clients with a calm oversight that instills confidence at every turn. Her ethos is rooted in attentive listening, thoughtful dialogue, and a sincere investment in helping clients find not just property but genuine belonging. Every meeting with Irma is an invitation to experience Costa Blanca with insight and care.

A Foundation of Character

Shaped by her Amsterdam upbringing in the lively De Pijp district, Irma’s perspective on home is steeped in conviviality, heritage, and a true sense of togetherness. Raised in a family where education, music, and sport were valued as pathways to broad-mindedness, she credits her parents for instilling the importance of respect and understanding. Irma remains committed to treating each individual with dignity, regardless of circumstance or background. Her core belief is simple yet powerful: honesty endures. This commitment to authenticity and empathy is the foundation upon which she advises, forming lasting bonds with clients that transcend transactions.

Defining Life Moments

A life shaped by pivotal connections has cemented Irma’s role as one who values genuine relationships above all. From her early years as a people person, she developed a deep commitment to making everyone feel seen and valued, no matter their aspirations or means. One especially moving moment during a closing in Jávea, a shared gesture of gratitude among buyers, sellers, and advisors, reminded her that a residence is more than a structure: it is where emotion and belonging converge. Irma’s approach is always to stay grounded, keeping her clients’ trust at the center and creating space for meaningful, memorable experiences.

A Day in Costa Blanca

Irma’s perfect day opens to the gentle Mediterranean light filtering through the Costa Blanca, a place she proudly calls home. Each morning offers a conscious appreciation of the golden coastline and the vibrant plazas bustling with local life. Savoring a cortado at her favorite café near the Benissa fountain is a daily ritual that anchors her in both place and purpose. The area’s charm unfolds in hidden corners and behind unassuming facades, with every alley and square evoking the authentic pulse of the region. Working and living here brings an ever-renewed sense of gratitude, where tradition, natural beauty, and community are woven into the everyday.

Professional Insight and Ethical Grounding

A lifetime learner, Irma’s background includes MBO and HBO training in tourism and national guiding, with language study and continuous professional development. Her entry into the property world came by invitation, reflecting her talent for service and adaptability. As an API and RAICV certified advisor, she dedicates herself to annual study, ensuring fluency in market knowledge and regulatory requirements. Her career spans nearly ten years exclusive to Costa Blanca, underscored by integrity, patience, and a belief that every transaction deserves respect and transparency. Irma prioritizes ethical practice as the foundation of every advisory relationship.

Clients and Services

Irma advises an international clientele, primarily from Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as local and wider European buyers seeking villas, fincas, or apartments. Her service is immersive and personal, guiding clients through the search, negotiation, and acquisition processes, always staying close at every step, even beyond the notary’s office. She is there for post-purchase visits, guidance, and sound counsel. Beyond property search, Irma provides project management, interior and material advice, and support with local legalities like NIE numbers. Whether facilitating a seamless relocation or navigating bespoke upgrades, her support is comprehensive and tailored.

Insider Knowledge of Costa Blanca

Irma encourages newcomers to immerse themselves in the region, venturing beyond the coast, exploring winding inland roads and discovering where true comfort lies. She reveals the rare charm hidden behind simple façades and guides clients to the subtle differences among villages, helping each to feel the distinctive energies that make Costa Blanca so rewarding for long-term living.

Why Personal Property Advisory Matters

For Irma, advisory is a collaborative journey. Sales, she believes, are more than transactions: they are emotional, built on mutual trust and the sharing of hopes and dreams. This motivates her to elevate each relationship into a partnership, guiding clients through experiences that are as meaningful as the outcomes. Irma chose this path because it is rooted in connection, shared vision, and the transformative power of finding a true home.

What Clients Say

Irma is often described as reliable, calm, and kind. Clients thank her for a complete and supportive experience, from first introduction to final signing and beyond. They value her steady presence as a trusted point of contact, and appreciate how she delivers on every promise. Encounters with Irma are remembered for her attentiveness, care, and the effortless confidence she brings to complex decisions.

When I’m Not Advising Buyers...

Irma finds balance in crafting a home of her own, thoughtfully blending Spanish tradition with modern sustainability through her ongoing village property renovation. Travel and books provide inspiration, but music remains a constant. In moments away from advisory, she enjoys singing along with her colleagues to favorite 80s tunes, keeping her grounded in camaraderie and joy.
