Ana Caramujo
Savvy Cat Founder & entrepreneur
The Portuguese Real Estate market is a mess. There is barely any exclusivity, constant conflicts of interests, lack of training of agents, unethical behaviors, among other things. I hated this. I actually avoided real estate related professions due to all of the above.
​
​However, because my family has a long history in real estate investment, I ended up getting involved in it at a very young age. A lot of people came to me for real estate advice.
​
​One day, I heard the story of a British lady’s experience buying in Portugal. How hard it was when the main concern is not the location. How hard it was to find someone trustworthy.
​
Something clicked, I realized I could be the change I wanted to see!
