WHO WE WORK WITH
"We work with internationally mobile families, family offices and private principals making significant capital commitments in Iberia."
Many hold assets across multiple jurisdictions and require a trusted, discreet presence on the ground. We carry a deliberately limited number of mandates at any one time.
Introductions are typically by referral. All enquiries handled in confidence.
THE OLD IBERIAN
Ollie Burns
OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE & DEVELOPMENT ADVISOR
Over two decades advising at the senior end of global financial services — working with Tier 1 institutions and building long-standing relationships within banking, fintech and investment communities.
That network, and the trust built within it, has evolved into something broader. Today Ollie works with a select number of international families and family offices as their primary advisor on significant capital allocation decisions in Iberia — from acquisition through to development oversight.
Twenty years in financial services built the skills that matter here — stakeholder management, risk assessment, expectation management and conflict resolution. Dropping into Mallorca's real estate world and assembling the right relationships took months, not years. That's the muscle. Applied somewhere new.
