In a statement, the company announced that it had opened an office in Lisbon and that it would replicate its business model, used before in Italy where it has been operating since May, in Portugal.

“The expansion into Portugal is an important step in our medium-term strategy to become the first participatory real estate financing community in Southern Europe,” according to Housers founding partner Álvaro Luna.
