The sun-soaked coast of Southern Spain provides the backdrop for Netflix’s new reality series Making It in Marbella. The show introduces us to Homerun Brokers, a premier real estate firm nestled amidst the luxury villas and estates of Marbella. Led by founder Eric Ebbing, Homerun caters to an exclusive clientele including wealthy Scandinavians, sports stars, and other global elites seeking resort properties along the celebrated Costa del Sol.
