    Since 2019

    How ARR began

    ARR’s story began in 2019 with insurance and credit intermediation.

    Clients seeking mortgages began asking for help with buying a home too. That is how property services became part of ARR.

    Today we support property purchases, rentals and mortgages. Our team brings together experience from Portugal and other markets.

    Andrei helped us find an apartment in Lisbon. It was the best experience we have ever had working with an estate agent. […] Andrei, thank you so much for your professional help and sensitivity throughout this difficult process.
