New addition to Felicity Estates

Matías Arroyo is 27 years old, he is an architect, football referee and much more. He loves sport, is trained in property management and is good at dealing with the public. He is from Jaén but he is fascinated by the Costa del Sol. Since March he is sales representative at Felicity Estates and will be helping our clients to sell and buy. We invite you to get to know him!

You are young but you have already achieved a lot, tell us a little about your career:

I come from the province of Jaén, where I lived until I was 18. Since then, either because of work or studies, I've been away from home, although I always go there when I can. I studied architecture in Granada and then I have been training in other areas, such as the media, the hotel industry, agriculture, tourism, leisure and sport, where I am currently continuing my training, doing an online master's degree in the management of sports organisations.  After a year as an architect in the public sector, I decided to enter the real estate sector.

I have always understood training as part of my working life, so entering a new environment will serve as a new challenge for me, preparing and learning continuously in new subjects, in order to perform correctly the tasks I have to develop in Felicity Estates. 

What attracted you to Felicity Estates and the real estate industry?

The real estate market is related to my main studies, so I have always found it an attractive world to work in. During my time in Fuengirola I saw that the market is growing in this area and it could be a potential source of income and experience to complement what I have done so far. 

The first contact I had with Felicity Estates was through the web, where I could appreciate a closeness and proximity different from other possible work options. Then, after the first approach via email and subsequent interviews, it was very easy for me to accept the job offer that was given to me as the working and personal atmosphere that the company exudes is fantastic. 

You are from Jaén, but now you live on the Costa del Sol, what brought you here?

What I like most about the Costa del Sol is that you have a wide range of places and events: in 15 minutes by car you can be by the sea or in the middle of the mountains. The range of activities you can do on the Costa del Sol is immense, you can visit internationally renowned museums, take part in top level sporting events (football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, golf...) or simply relax peacefully on the terrace of your house, so living here means you always have something to do.

In addition, the climate of the Costa del Sol is privileged. Practically stable throughout the year, the winter months are very bearable and during the summer months the atmosphere of the area is unbeatable, with a very high variety of activities depending on the tastes of each one.

What do you consider to be your best qualities as a real estate agent?

This is the first time I work in the real estate sector, but I have had other public facing jobs, so I have an analytical and meticulous vision of direct customer service work. I consider myself to be empathetic and have a proactive attitude, which will help me to take initiative and be able to analyse and take advantage of opportunities that arise in the market. Being patient and observant, I will be able to easily grasp the needs of future clients.

What are your interests outside work?

Outside of work my main hobby is sport. I really enjoy playing any kind of sport, mainly ball sports. During the weekends I referee federated football, while during the week I play volleyball, basketball and paddle tennis. I always try to find some time after work to play sport.

Do you have a favourite place on the Costa del Sol that you would like to share?

If I had to choose a place to disconnect, I would choose the beach in Fuengirola, specifically the one next to the Sohail Castle. The contrast of the landscape, the bridge and the variety of restaurants and beach bars around is fantastic.
