Rod and Margret Vernon moved to the Algarve in the early 1980’s after spending many previous years on holiday there. They decided to relocate like so many others looking to live the dream in the Algarve and give them selves and their Children a better quality of life.

They founded the first real estate Vernon´s office in Monte Carvoeiro in the early 80’s with satellite offices following in Lagos, the centre of Carvoeiro (now our main office), Portimão, Alvor and Rocha Brava complex.

At the moment Rod and Margaret are retired, but are still available to share their experiences, advise and support for anybody looking to buy that dream property in the Algarve.
