Fine & Country Portugal Named Best Real Estate Marketing in Portugal at the International Property Awards 2026

On Thursday, 22 October, the international property industry gathered at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London for the International Property Awards 2026. Fine & Country Portugal came home with two distinctions: Best Real Estate Marketing Portugal, and Award Winner for Real Estate Agency Website Portugal.

The journey does not end in London. Our marketing now goes forward as a nominee for Best Real Estate Marketing at both European and worldwide level.

About the International Property Awards

Since 1993, the International Property Awards have recognised companies that stand out across the global property sector. Every entry is assessed by an independent panel of judges, who look at originality, innovation, quality and impact.

National winners are automatically nominated for the European and worldwide stages, which is where our marketing entry now competes.

There was further recognition for the agency's leadership. Nuno Durão, Managing Partner of Fine & Country Portugal, was shortlisted from among hundreds of business leaders for the Leadership Luxury Real Estate Award.

Telling the story of a place, not just a property

This recognition follows a year of sustained investment in how we communicate. We strengthened our content in Portuguese, English and French, refined our digital presence and rethought the online experience at irglux.com.

That work spans every market we cover, from Lisbon and Cascais to Comporta and the Alentejo Coast. From our showrooms in central Lisbon, Estoril / Cascais and Comporta, everything we publish starts with place, people and the way of life each home offers.

Many of our clients are international buyers, looking to Portugal for a home, an investment or a new way of living. For them, we offer a bespoke service, with guidance before, during and after every purchase or sale.

Technology in support, people at the centre

In recent years, we have invested in automation and AI. These tools streamline our internal processes and help us develop and refine campaigns and content, freeing time for what matters most.

Relationships with clients and partners, however, stay in human hands. We believe in building strong, long-term relationships, and no technology replaces that.

In the team's words

"The recognition in London, in front of the international property industry, is hugely rewarding. It shows that luxury real estate in Portugal can be communicated with rigour, identity and global ambition. Our clients, buyers and sellers alike, are the first to benefit from this work."

Charles Roberts, Managing Partner

"This award belongs to the whole team. From the outset, we believed our marketing department should tell the story of each home and its locations, not simply show a property. The European and International nominations are an incentive to keep raising the bar."

Nuno Durão, Managing Partner

"This recognition reflects years of patient, meticulous work. Every photograph, every text and every campaign comes from knowing the places we represent well. This year was particularly demanding, and to see our effort recognised internationally is very special."

Sandra Fernandes, Marketing Director

"We worked to make the website and every digital channel a natural extension of the Fine & Country experience. Having that journey recognised in London, alongside the world's other leading agencies, motivates us to go further in 2027."

Christopher Fortunato, Marketing Manager

 

Looking ahead

We now look forward to the European and worldwide stages. Our thanks go to our clients and partners, and to a team that brings these places to life every day.
