George always had saltwater in his veins, growing up on the East Coast dreaming of life by the ocean. But for him, Jersey never quite scratched that itch. With over two decades of experience in real estate and home remodeling, he eventually took a leap that changed everything—trading the familiar for the fresh, and finding a new beginning on the sun-soaked shores of Portugal.

Fluent in Portuguese thanks to years of serving the vibrant Portuguese-speaking community back in the States, George seamlessly blended into his new surroundings. The move didn’t just improve his lifestyle—it expanded his world. Closer than ever to his passion for music and now thriving in work that feels more like a calling than a job, George brings heart, dedication, and a deep sense of responsibility to every client he serves. To George, real estate isn’t just about property—it’s about people, purpose, and building something meaningful. Whether helping fellow expats find their footing or guiding locals with trusted expertise, he shows up not just as an agent, but as an advocate.

Born and raised in Portugal, Pedro’s journey took him across the Atlantic, where he followed his family into the world of home building, renovation, and real estate investment. What started as a family business quickly became a passion—and a masterclass in creating value, seeing potential, and making smart moves. With an eye for the big picture and a heart that’s always in the right place, Pedro is the kind of person you instantly trust to be in your corner. Now back on home soil, Pedro feels a deep sense of pride in welcoming Americans to the place that shaped him. The U.S. gave him not only a successful career but a life full of lasting connections and unforgettable moments.

And now, he brings that same spirit of hospitality, gratitude, and expertise to Portugal—bridging two cultures he holds close. Much like the mosaic-like cobblestone streets that wind through his hometown, Pedro’s life is made up of distinct, beautiful pieces—each one leading him back to where it all began, but never too far from the people and places that helped shape the man he is today.
