I've called Portugal home since the early 2000s — long enough to know the Algarve not just as a market, but as a place I genuinely love. Two things have kept me here: property and golf. Between the fairways and the finest addresses in Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura, I've built a career that rarely feels like work.

As a Director of OliveHomes, I've spent over two decades cultivating relationships across the length of the Algarve — with vendors, developers, legal teams and fellow agents. That network is one of the most valuable things I bring to every client. It means access, insight and results that go beyond what's simply listed on the market.

People are at the heart of what I do. I take real pleasure in getting to know clients — understanding not just what they're looking for, but why — and building relationships that often turn into lasting friendships. I'm also fluent in German, which allows me to work closely with our significant German-speaking client and vendor base in the way they deserve.

Leading the OliveHomes team is something I take enormous pride in. We operate as a genuine team, and watching everyone succeed together is as rewarding as any individual deal. That culture of collaboration is, I believe, what sets the standard of service our clients experience every time.

My family deserve a mention too — they're very patient with the golf.
