About João Carvalho

Licensed Broker working at the intersection of international capital, real estate, and cross-border relationships, helping international investors and buyers identify and access high-quality real estate opportunities in Portugal — including off-market assets, Golden Visa, residency-linked investments, both with an ROI approach. In addition, I also provide solutions for real estate in Marbella, Spain.

At Luznur Capital, I focus on:

• Sourcing and structuring real estate opportunities, including off-market, focused on attractive risk-adjusted IRR, ROI, and capital preservation.

• Supporting international investors entering the Portuguese market • Navigating the intersection of real estate, investment advisory, foreign investment, and residency frameworks (including the Golden Visa with legal support of an immigration, real estate, tax, and corporate law firm)

• Positioned to serve any specific mandate of any price range in any region of the country, or operations of other complexity that might bring different jurisdictions, diverse regulatory environments, trust funds, free zones, or sensitive operations whether with corporates, funds, individuals or family offices, migration agents, private banks, wealth managers, freeports, and legal/tax advisors

• Strategically aligned to deliver against any specified mandate, including complex and sensitive engagements involving high-profile individuals such as public figures, professional athletes, and members of prominent families, governed by the highest standards of discretion, confidentiality, and professional integrity

My professional background spans Private Equity & Venture Capital, a tech startup, logistics, and events management, giving me both a financial and operational lens on investments, partnerships, and international expansion International academic and professional experiences — including in Boston and New York — shaped my understanding of dynamic real estate markets and how Portugal can position itself as a competitive, forward-looking destination for foreign capital.

I’ve studied 9 years in a boarding Military School, I hold an MSc from Hult International Business School (USA), Bachelor’s in Business Management from Instituto Superior de Gestão and a Post-Graduate Degree from Nova Business School. Alongside my professional work, I have a strong interest in International Relations, the Defense Industry, Diplomacy, and Chambers of Commerce.

I value long-term partnerships built on trust, alignment, and mutual benefit — particularly in cross-border and multicultural contexts.
