The sun-kissed streets of Calahonda buzzed with excitement on Saturday, October 4, as the Garner family, the much-loved stars of Channel 4’s Sun, Sea & Selling Houses, officially unveiled their fourth office of Spanish Property Choice. 

Scores of locals, fans and potential buyers lined the street outside the sleek, new office on Calle Merida de Jarales 5. The event was fit for a first-episode party of Series 9.

While the crowd swelled under the Mediterranean sun, the Garner clan – led by the unflappable Sharon and Steve – was hard at work inside, cameras rolling with the production crew for the first episode of the new season. The family’s expansion from their Almería roots to the colourful Costa del Sol is a giant leap, broadening Spanish Property Choice’s reach across Almería and the coast, with offices now dotted throughout the region to serve a booming market of dream-chasers and savvy sellers.

Once the indoor shoot wrapped, the Garners – including team stars Emma, Shaun, and Matt – emerged to thunderous applause, as they bridged the worlds of TV glamour and grassroots family business. Sharon, who is the brains of the operation, welcomed the crowds. She bowed, her voice bursting with emotion. You really don‘We don’t even know what this all means to us. If I’m wrong, please forgive me.‘I’m emotional but this is an important step for our family business and family. We are grateful for all the support from local businesses, former clients, and followers. The welcome that we received was very warm.‘ve had here on the Costa del Sol, well… I‘It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. It‘“It’s been wonderful.”

She stopped as a Lamborghini with a wild engine passed, sounding like it was a scene out of one of her high-stakes transactions. Undeterred, Sharon quipped, “Costa del Sol is a place where you can enjoy the sun and sand. Almeria has a different way of doing things.‘It’s more likely to have a donkey-and-cart.” The crowd laughed, showing the family’s charm and down-to earth nature in the midst of the luxurious coast.

The ceremonial ribbon-cutting stole the show, with Sharon and Steve‘s grandchildren, Alicia and Lucas, wielding little scissors to declare the office open – a nod to the next generation carrying the Garner legacy. From there, it was all bubbly and bites: guests flooded inside for celebratory drinks and canapés, where the agency’s first eager customers huddled around members of the family, hashing out potential buys and sales. The family was showered with flowers by well-wishers, business partners and friends to toast the move.

Shaun Garner – ever the showman – seized the opportunity to make a heartfelt speech. “I‘This is probably the best thing to do, as I can assure you that it will be done well.‘The mother I’ve inherited from both my parents‘He made a joke that brought grins to everyone’s faces. He raised his glass in honor of his parents. “After many years of blood, sweat, tears and hard work‘You can earn a lot of money‘ve been an amazing success in Almería, and we hope it continues into the Costa del Sol!” The glass clinked from coast to coast in agreement and cheers continued long after.

For Spanish Property Choice, it’s a launchpad for more Sun, Sea & Selling Houses magic, connecting hearts, homes, and horizons along the Costa del Sol’s sun-drenched shores. Whether you’re hunting your slice of paradise or just a fan of the family’s grit, Calahonda’s newest property hotspot is open for business – and beaming with possibilities.
