About Me

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

20+ Years of Real Estate Expertise

I have been blessed with success in an industry I love. My career began as a financial analyst and tenant representation specialist for the largest commercial real estate firm in the world. Over the years, I’ve represented Fortune 500 giants including Home Depot, AT&T, GMAC, and Deutsche Bank.

Eventually, I launched my own brokerage in the US—which I still own today—adding residential services and co-founded a construction company, becoming a Licensed General Contractor. Not satisfied to stop there, I went on to become IICRC certified in mold remediation and water mitigation to further assist my residential clientele.

What This Means for You: When we tour a property in Coimbra, Lisbon, the Algarve, Porto, or the Silver Coast, you aren’t just getting a tour guide; you are getting a partner who understands:

  • The Numbers: Deep financial analysis to ensure your investment makes sense.
  • The Structure: Seeing past the paint to understand the “bones” of a house (thanks to my background as a former builder).
  • The Market: Navigating both residential and commercial real estate transactions with Fortune 500-level rigor.
