In memoriam Clive Saxby
MANY tributes have been seen following the recent passing of popular local Estate Agent, Clive Saxby, owner of MDL Marbella
Dream Living following a long illness.
One of the most heartfelt came from his friends and colleagues at MDL
Proverb Of The Week
who announced his death on their Facebook page, saying “Clive had a huge character and was a force of nature across the coast for many years. His personality was as big as his heart and as a team, he will leave a huge hole in our lives.
A person with some knowledge of several fields (jack of all trades) can’t be a master in any of them. Source - In 1612, the phrase appeared in the book ‘Essays and Characters of a Prison’ by English writer Geffray Mynshul (Minshull), originally published in 1618.
“Our mission is to continue in his memory to be the best we can be, offering the best service possible to everyone we meet as he loved to see everyone succeed.
“Marbella Dream Living thank you for all your kind thoughts and respect shown to a truly great man.”
Another tribute appeared in Planet Marbella where writer and Talk Rado Europe presenter Giles Brown who clearly had a great deal of respect for Mr Saxby, called him “one of the best known, highly regarded and muchloved figures in Marbella’s Real Estate Industry.
“A consummate professional with an unrivalled knowledge of the market, Clive never lost sight of the fact that at its most basic, property is a business about people and the relationships that you build with your clients.”
Having lived and worked for so long on the Costa del Sol, he was a professional who did a great deal to promote the Real Estate
Industry and to bring on young realtors, many of whom have since set up their own agencies.
