You need to invest in Portugal. Portugal. Portugal. Period. And we are here to help...
Our Story
We visited Lisbon eight years ago and instantly fell in love with the city. From the people to the culture, everything clicked. We knew we wanted to be part of it and eventually make it our home.
In 2023, we launched «El Peñón Investimentos» (EPI), a name that holds sentimental value as it relates to our school from childhood. Our mission is to support investors from all backgrounds and treat them with the same warmth and camaraderie as fellow El Peñón alumni.
Hey, and have you heard about the Real Estate market? It’s super profitable! In the past eight years we’ve learned Portuguese (the easiest part!), gained valuable expertise, built a strong network of partners, and helped other fellow “Amigos Peñoneros” along the way.
We are here to guide you as a friend to sort through the limited quality properties available, avoid the listings with misleading information, negotiate the best pricing for you, get you the best financing, and ultimately be worry-free from the bureaucratic hurdles and intricate legal complexities.
