WHITE HOUSE
ADVISORY BOARD
The WHITE HOUSE advisory board is mainly a lobby of reflection but also influences the business. White House advisory board members have a systematic and organic relationship with the company’s shareholders, as it’s always important to reinforce that the company and its members maintain their own professional and personal independence.
WHITE HOUSE
GOVERNANCE
White House is possibly one of the few real estate companies with an internal conscious governance model, which is considered by the shareholders as a key factor for its activities’ structure. Internally, the business corporation responsible for the White House brand gathers the efficiency of one managing partner, one administration board, and a directly linked advisory board. Each one of these is conscious of their responsibilities, and each business’s information is divided in order to assure consistency in every acquisition/sales operation between interest groups.
WHITE HOUSE IS ALSO AWARE OF ITS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
WHAT WE DO
As an important aspect of excellence in the real estate industry, we don’t expose our activities publicly; an asset might be available for sale, a buyer may be interested in selling his goods.
Either way, what always makes a well-structured deal is the singularity of every opportunity and the specific value each investor can add to the project through his individual expertise. As a real estate investment consulting company, we are mainly lobbyists who actively support national and international business mapping between big groups, so that the parties involved fulfill expectations.
White House’s vast experience is reflected in its exclusive connections to the best international players; we have worked with the best buyers and sellers for decades, as our expertise in the market and its most critical rationales are the true values we share with each one of our clients and investments we assist.
We have in our DNA a commitment to discretion and confidentiality. It’s not in our policies to freely disclose investment opportunities; we always prefer to adapt what we present to a specific need, assuring a more private and strict negotiation.
mission
We work with buyers and sellers both in mapping and closing real estate deals, which are adapted to each one of the parties, their circumstances, and expectations.
values
As lobbyists in the real estate field, we believe in values such as information transparency and integrity, confidentiality, and thoroughness.
VISION
We are in the lobby of the public real estate space; we anticipate public information, revealing opportunities to the right partners on each deal, always with excellence in mind for every client.
SERVICES
White House acts with discretion and aims for specific interests, establishing contact between investors and potential deals. We work essentially for and with real estate professionals, activating spheres of influence.
We know that, in any case, it’s crucial to know businesses and property investment, but it’s also important to find the right investor, who can best exploit a specific and real opportunity.
With decades of experience, White House knows the real estate market’s economic cycles well, which allows us to anticipate crises and opportunities in a global market. We evaluate every investor’s risk profile and their investment preferences, because we know each one of them is different. This expertise allows us to identify and exploit specific and solid deals that show the most value and security to investors.

We monitor and actively gather information on solid real estate opportunities.
We do a Deepened Assessment of the Real Opportunity
Every time we know about a solid real estate opportunity, we always double check it and verify its viability.
We Promote Interest and Buying/Selling Positions

We intermediate the
buying/selling operation
We assist intermediation, adapting each deal to both parties and their financial circumstances, working together with the best financial agents who provide a suitable solution to each project.
Urban rehabilitation
White House actively and carefully monitors real estate opportunities, projects, licences, and ongoing construction works in major cities in Portugal, following movements, tendencies, and occasions that are promoted by the real estate sector’s own dynamism. We know the field, we know in which crisis moments the only important factor is location; we know the best players in each case: constructors and licencing institutions, urbanism and requalification projects, infrastructures, and all the geographic tendencies.
Real estate profit investment
White House has followed for decades the evolution of the rental market for housing, commerce, and services. We know the best locations and the best and safest investments. We know the full structure of the real estate investment business: we analyse and verify risks according to each local context, but in all cases, we also want to know our client, first of all. Whether our client is more of an informal saver expecting immediate profit through renting the asset, or obtaining a tax residence that offers free circulation in the Shengen area, or a family office professionally dedicated to real estate investment, White House knows the real estate market’s structure well and all its normal legal procedures.
Tourism and hotels
White House is the usual intermediator for interests in development, conversion, and requalification of the National Hotel Park, both in Portugal and in the Madeira and Azores islands. So far, we have assisted what may be the biggest and best investments in Portugal, regarding many hotel units that have been acquired and/or developed by national and international investors. We work with many investors, including players from the United States, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Angola, China, and Russia. As a consulting company specializing in real estate investment, we know the field of tourism like no other, as well as its very particular specifics; whether they’re more informal or professional investors, more or less passive, we have access to privileged information and we know how to firmly assist businesses involving adherence to global concessions.
Who are our clients?
White House is a dual interests agent; as we work for buyers and sellers, our relationship with professional or informal investors is permanent and deepened. We work with national and international funds, but also with professionals in the tourism industry, as well as excellent companies in the rehabilitation and even construction fields. We are proud to work with some of the best, most active, and dynamic Family Offices in the world, along with Private Wealth Managers and some of the top 25 Real Estate Private Equity Funds, and also with Real Estate Hedge Funds at the top of the international market.
Why Portugal?
Portugal has a privileged place in the world. It’s a country with history, and that is why it has a mature and stable social and political situation, with great trust and security rates. Whether it’s for your own use or simply for investment, Portugal provides ideal conditions not only to live, but also, clearly, to invest.

Golden Visas:
Portugal in the central route for Real Estate investment?
Considering the exceptional investment conditions Portugal offers, it’s naturally a very popular destination for Real Estate investment. The Golden Residence Permit Program has attracted over 2500 investors so far, which reflects on a total investment value in Portugal that exceeds (in real estate investment alone) 1 billion euros, focused especially among Chinese, Brazilian, Russian, South African, and Lebanese natives.
Since 2012, White House has known that these processes are always complex and sometimes difficult to manage. In Portugal, we are probably one of the oldest brands working in this field, offering support to the research for strategically interesting assets for investors and also providing a specialized collaborative network to support investment decisions, as it’s conscious, complete, and truly commited with thoroughness and transparency for investors.
partnerships
White House is a focal point for knowledge, and above all, for interests and influence within the national real estate investment landscape. We are a real estate agency that strategically gathers interests and influences running the market, moving owners and investors vertically and discreetly.
