Christie’s International Real Estate Expands Presence in Portugal with the addition of a New Affiliate in Porto, LUXIMO’S

Porto, Portugal — Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network, awarded Affiliate status to LUXIMO’S, which will exclusively represent the Christie’s brand in northern Portugal, including the luxury markets of Porto, Costa Verde and the Douro Valley. 

Owned by Christie’s, the world’s leading art business, Christie’s International Real Estate is now represented in 46 countries. LUXIMO’S joins a carefully selected organization of real estate brokerages with a proven record of success in luxury property sales and exemplary client service. 

LUXIMO’S is led by Ricardo da Costa, who is based in the head office in Porto’s Avenida do Brazil. With more than ten years of real estate experience in Porto’s region, he will be dedicated to the sale of luxury real estate, including apartments, farms, prestigious villas, and vineyards in the Douro Valley.

“We are proud to present to clients our alignment with this prestigious and powerful international luxury real estate organization and look forward to working together with our colleagues and clients worldwide. We expect this partnership will further satisfy our client’s requirements as we increasingly gain more interest from markets like Brazil, Angola, the UK, Germany, Russia, and China,” Costa said.

“LUXIMO’S is recognized as a notable luxury real estate company in Portugal’s northern region and Ricardo Costa’s industry expertise, veracity and exemplary client service complements our brand’s values,” said Joachim Wrang-Widén, Christie’s International Real Estate’s Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “As the innovator in this market segment, we look forward to Ricardo firmly placing the Porto region on the map of luxury residential real estate.”

Porto, a registered World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is in the northern region of Portugal. A popular tourism destination, its advanced infrastructure and beautiful landscapes have won several industry awards including best European tourism destination by the European Consumers Choice in 2012. Its international airport serves over six million passengers yearly. Portugal’s luxury real estate areas, such as Foz e Boavista in Porto, Minho and Douro Valley, have been seeing a lot of activity from abroad including Brazil, Angola, the UK, Germany, Russia, and China.
