About João Carvalho

João combines his background in finance, private equity, and international business with a strong focus on real estate and cross-border investment. With an MSc in International Business from Hult International Business School in Boston and New York, and additional degrees from Instituto Superior de Gestão and Nova Business School, João brings global expertise to the Portuguese market.

His professional experience spans Private Equity & Venture Capital, Tech, and Relationship Management, equipping him with the skills to identify opportunities, structure partnerships, and deliver results. Recognizing Portugal’s unique position in the global real estate landscape, João founded Luznur Capital to attract foreign investment and position Portugal as a competitive, forward-thinking market for sustainable growth.

As a trusted Real Estate Broker & Advisor, João specializes in Portugal’s most exclusive destinations: from the timeless charm of Lisbon, Cascais, Arrábida, Azeitão, Tróia, and Comporta, to the prestigious Algarve region, including Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, Lagos, and Tavira. He also represents distinguished properties across Alentejo, Porto, the enchanting island of Madeira, and now Marbella, on Spain’s Costa del Sol.

Expanding beyond Portugal, João extends his expertise to some of the world’s most dynamic markets — Dubai, Doha, Muscat, Riyadh, and Jeddah — building bridges between international investors and exceptional real estate opportunities. His passion for the Middle East—its culture, projects, and language—continues to inspire and shape Luznur Capital’s global outlook.
