Marta Durao

Driven by performance, shaped by luxury, and focused on people, Marta brings a unique combination of real estate expertise, strategic leadership and innovation to the Portuguese market.

Marta Durão is a luxury real estate executive with more than a decade of experience across residential, commercial real estate, investment and development.

As Managing Director of Nest Seekers Portugal, she leads the company’s nationwide growth and operations, combining hands-on market experience with a strong focus on performance, innovation and exceptional client service.

Prior to joining Nest Seekers, Marta spent three years leading Engel & Völkers Cascais Group, where she took the business to #1 in the Engel & Völkers Portugal national ranking for two consecutive years.

Her achievements were recognized with several national awards, includingHighest Digital Marketing Investment, Skyrocket and Millionaire in 2024, followed by Highest Commission in Portugal in 2025.

Her career began in luxury real estate sales, where she spent almost a decade advising private clients, investors and developers. She later moved into PropTech, leading sales and digital growth strategies for some of Portugal’s largest real estate companies, before returning to executive leadership.

This combination of sales, technology and management gives her a uniquely commercial and forward-thinking perspective on the property market.

Marta studied Management in London and began her professional journey in luxury hospitality, where she developed her philosophy around service, attention to detail and exceeding expectations.

Today, she brings those same principles to real estate, with a belief that lasting success is built on trust, performance and genuine relationships.

Outside of real estate, Marta has been passionate about horses since the age of seven and continues to ride whenever she can. She also practices Iaido, the Japanese martial art of the sword, drawn to its discipline, precision and constant pursuit of mastery.

For Marta, these passions reflect many of the same qualities she brings to her professional life: focus, discipline, resilience and the belief that there is always another level to reach.
