If you’re considering buying property in Portugal, there’s no better person to have by your side than Ferdinand, or as most know him, Ferdi. Born and raised in the heart of the Algarve, Ferdi is the face of Immo Lusitania in Portugal—your dedicated property broker, buyer’s agent, and trusted advisor throughout your property journey.
A Truly Portuguese-Dutch Blend
Ferdi is the son of Dutch parents who immigrated to Portugal in the 1970s. With deep roots in both cultures, he brings a unique perspective and an open mindset that’s perfectly suited to working with an international clientele. Towering at 2 meters tall, he’s not only hard to miss but also hard not to trust, thanks to his sincere and knowledgeable approach.
Ferdinand Hugo Van Duijvenbode
Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Dutch, and with strong understanding of German, Spanish, and even a bit of French, Ferdi can communicate seamlessly with clients from all walks of life. His ability to connect with people culturally and linguistically is one of the reasons he’s so successful in helping people relocate or invest in Portugal.
From Sports to Sales – A Natural Leader
Ferdi lived in Porto for several years while playing professional sports, representing Portugal as a member of the Portuguese Junior National Volleyball Team. This experience shaped his discipline, teamwork, and strategic thinking—qualities he now brings into his work as a real estate broker.
With a solid background in sales, Ferdi has a deep understanding of what clients expect from a high-level service. His experience with high-net-worth individuals, expats, retirees, and digital nomads gives him a sharp eye for opportunities and a personal touch that makes clients feel understood and supported.
A Nationwide Presence
While based in the Algarve, Ferdi is highly flexible and mobile, frequently meeting clients in Lisbon, Porto, or wherever it’s most convenient. He often flies to meet clients personally before they even come to Portugal—helping them refine their needs, set realistic expectations, and make smarter decisions when the time comes to visit.
