About George
No pressure. No quotas. Just a strategy that protects you.
Hi, I’m George Igor Nayda, founder of Columbus Estates S.L.
Over the past eight years, since 2017, I’ve helped more than 1,500 buyers from 52 countries secure homes on the Costa del Sol, from Málaga City to Sotogrande.
But that’s just the surface.
From Singapore to Marbella
I didn’t start with real estate in Spain.
I started in Singapore, diving into the world of alternative investments. That’s where I first learned how capital moves, how markets behave, and what investors really look for when risk meets opportunity.
It shifted everything.
Eventually, I found my calling on the Costa del Sol.
From here, I began promoting and selling an off-plan development in Brazil to European investors…
a role that taught me how to sell cross-border, across cultures, and often sight unseen.
After a year of doing that, I shifted my focus to the Costa del Sol local real estate market.
I spent over five years with one of the region’s largest real estate agencies, helping hundreds of clients navigate local property deals.
But it wasn’t the transactions that kept me in the game; it was the transformation.
It wasn’t the sales that pulled me in.
It was the psychology.
The life shifts.
The moment when someone finally says: This is it. This feels like home.
Not the Loudest. Just the Most Consistent. 🏆
Before launching Columbus Estates, I won awards as a top telemarketer and real estate agent, not because I was flashy, but because I was relentless about client results.
In my first month in real estate?
I helped four families buy four properties.
Because listening beats pitching.
And strategy beats pressure.
What Makes Me Different
I don’t just show properties.
I study people.
After one day together, I usually know what type of environment, pace, and area will best support your goals.
I also collaborate with all agencies and developers across the Costa del Sol, giving you full-market access without bias or restriction.
No pushing.
No scripts.
Just straight talk and a tailored strategy built around your timing, budget, and long-term goals, whether that’s €250K or €20M+.
Not everyone wants clarity. But if you do…

One Moment I’ll Never Forget
One of my clients once saved €550,000 on a purchase because I spotted something no other agent noticed and negotiated it out.
A year later, I got a WhatsApp and then a phone call from his friend.
He said:
“He told me you’re the best agent in the world”
And this was coming from someone who had bought properties in LA, London, Dubai, and Monaco.
That moment stuck with me.
Another time, I helped a family buy two villas entirely remotely no visit, just video walkthroughs, legal prep, and trust.
That’s when I knew:
This isn’t about sales.
This is about clarity, protection, and shared success.
Spain’s property system is unique some buyer protections work differently than in other countries. That’s why I believe foresight is everything.
I Advise Like It’s My Own Money On the Line
Most agents tell you what to buy.
I tell you what to watch out for.
Like:
-
Legal risk on poorly documented homes (especially in parts of Marbella)
-
Whether your budget includes Spain’s 10 - 13% total purchase costs
-
Whether your dream area comes with local town hall delays or resale restrictions you weren’t told about.
-
And most importantly:
How easy will this be to resell in 5 years?
I sell the dream.
but I also test check it for cracks.
Some properties look perfect at first glance but I always check what others overlook, so you can move forward with full clarity.
I’ve Walked This Path Myself
I’ve lived in the Netherlands, Ukraine, Singapore, and now over 9 years in Spain.
I know what it’s like to move countries.
The doubts. The pressure. The language gap.
That’s why I’ve made it a priority to connect in your language:
🇬🇧 English | 🇳🇱 Dutch | 🇷🇺 Russian | 🇺🇦 Ukrainian | 🇪🇸 Advanced Spanish
No guesswork during viewings, contracts, or negotiations.
