Brightman Group creates The Real Estate Club
The Cascais and Lisbon-based Brightman Group, a high-end boutique estate agency specialising in high-quality luxury property for affluent and discerning clients, has founded The Real Estate Club.
The Real Estate Club is the first ecosystem of independent real estate professionals working together to deliver a seamless experience for clients who expect nothing but the best.
Powered by Brightman Group, this exclusive club is “an alliance of top independent agents, elite service providers, and our dedicated in-house team—each committed to aligning every detail of the client’s transition with precision and expertise”, explains Anne Brightman, CEO and founder of Brightman Group.
From real estate and mortgages to immigration, legal services, banking, FX transfers, and concierge services, every aspect of the journey is expertly handled. Need property management, a private chef, a jet, or even a trusted pet sitter? The Real Estate Club ensures every detail is covered—setting a new standard for luxury real estate services.
The Real Estate Club brings together the best professionals to manage every aspect of the journey with precision and care. Whether clients are moving across the world or town, it has the expertise and connections to make it effortless.
“Years ago, after founding Brightman Group, I made a vow to redefine the real estate experience by offering the level of service I wished I had received when I moved to Portugal” recalls CEO and founder of Brightman Group, Anne Brightman.
“After purchasing an apartment in Portugal in 2017, I returned to the US to prepare for my move. I was told the necessary remodelling would take three months, but it dragged on for over a year.
My agent disappeared, leaving me to navigate countless decisions in a country I knew nothing about. I scrambled to find an immigration lawyer, an interior designer, a landscaper, a school for my son, a car, and so much more. By the time I finally moved, I was disillusioned and frustrated”, she adds.
And continues: “Although I fell back in love with this magical country, I never forgot—nor forgave—my agent for abandoning me. Yet, as Napoleon Hill said, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”
Out of this chaos, Brightman Group Real Estate was born—with a mission to transform its clients’ experiences and positively impact their lives through unwavering focus, dedication, and vigilance.
“The reality is, things won’t always go perfectly, but when they don’t, our network will be there to ensure a smooth transition”, explains Anne.
“Our carefully curated, trusted partners make that possible—whether our clients are relocating from abroad or simply moving homes. These professionals provide confidence that our clients’ investments are secure and their journey is seamless”.
Anne says that delivering a first-class experience from start to finish takes more than just a real estate agent—it requires an entire ecosystem of experts to guide, advise, and support every step of the way and The Real Estate Club was designed to do just that.
