WHITE PLAINS—Why was it glorious? I would have to say it was mostly because of the great Portuguese people and their kindness, openness, and ability to make strangers (us) feel at home.
From meeting local Realtors to visiting existing and new developments, sharing opportunities for investment in our HGAR regions to learning more about investment opportunities in Portugal, the trade mission was very successful. We explored potential international business opportunities and worked to help create networks of buyers, agents, and key government contacts in Portugal.

HGAR’s Global Council provides our members the tools and resources to connect globally with real estate professionals throughout the world. On the trip, we shared market information mutually and created positive synergies for future opportunities and ventures.
We have to learn to try outside of what has been done, outside of what we have learned, in order to have a chance to get completely different outcomes. As HGAR forged into Portugal, I believe this is why we need pioneers who open the way. We also need explorers who try every different direction of thinking and acting with the one risk—the risk of failing.

As our industry grows and transforms, we have to do it with friends. We’ve got to have an ecosystem; we’ve got to have partners like Pedro Periera of PIR, Paul Caiado of APEMIP and Mayor Rui Moreira of the City of Porto.
