Portugal "no longer needs an introduction" in international markets. That is the assessment of Gavin Swartzman, CEO of Christie's International Real Estate, in an interview with Forbes Portugal held around the Owners Conference in Lisbon.
Asked how Portugal became one of Christie's network's most relevant luxury markets in
Europe, Swartzman attributes it to how the country has evolved in recent years: it has become extremely popular with international investors, and those who visit return and recommend it to friends. For the CEO, Portugal has earned its place by continuing to offer excellent value for money, safety, accessibility, quality of life and a wide diversity of investment opportunities.
