AMI License

When investing in a home, you deserve an agent that thinks beyond the next transaction – one who will consider your long-term goals, both from an investment perspective as well as a personal.


When choosing an agent, its always recommended that the agent is fully licensed with an AMI Licence. This gives you the reassurance that the agent will guide you professionally through all the stages, from viewing a property to making your offer and through to final completion of the transaction. Clarification of any real estate agent licence can be simply obtained by checking their licence number from AMI, the ‘Associacão de Mediadores Imobiliários’. Our licence no is 16948.
