“It never gets boring. Each process, buyer, seller, or house is different, and I am addicted to the challenge.”
How it all started
I was born in Holland and lived there until my 13th when my parents decided to move to Portugal. Initially, we moved to the silver coast, where I attended a Portuguese public school. When I finished school, we moved to the Algarve to search for a better climate and more work opportunities. My parents are in holiday rentals and the season last much longer than the silver coast.
Quickly after, I joined Remax in 2015 when I was 22, in Albufeira. This was also the year I became a father and after 8 months at Remax, having learned the basics, I felt it was time to move on and joined Ideal Homes as a property lister. In 2018, I joined Divine Home and never left.
Why I love my job
The main reason I joined real estate is the experience I got from my parents. On the Silver coast, they had a few properties, including an old Portuguese Quinta which I got involved in the renovation process, where I started to become more and more interested in the property business.
It never gets boring. Each process, buyer, seller, or house is different, and I am addicted to the challenge, to succeed and make sure everyone is happy.
When I’m not working
I like to stay busy and that works fine with having 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a house we have been renovating. Besides the family life, the Algarve is heaven for those who ride a motorbike, so I try to go for tours on the weekend, or when it is raining, I still like to play some video games even though I am not good at it anymore.
