Laura Nowak

Property Manager

Born in Portugal to German parents, I grew up in a multicultural environment that gave me a broad perspective of the world from an early age. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to live and work in several countries, which has allowed me to gain extensive experience in the tourism sector. This contact with different cultures and professional realities has been fundamental to my personal development and to building my skills in management and customer service.

Since 2015, I have had the privilege of joining the SmartHomes family, where I took on responsibility for managing holiday rentals. This role has been extremely rewarding, as it allows me to experience something new every day. Property management gives me the opportunity to interact with people of different nationalities, helping them feel safe and confident about their investments, knowing that they are in good hands. Direct contact with guests and the daily resolution of challenges make my work unique and stimulating, while reinforcing my passion for creating unforgettable experiences.

Ralf Henking

Founder & Sales Director

I am originally from Germany, but it was in 1983 that my journey across Europe brought me to the charming village of São Martinho do Porto, where I instantly fell in love with its unique character and the tranquillity of the region.

With more than 25 years of experience in the real estate industry, I founded my own family business, dedicated to helping hundreds of people find their dream home in the stunning Silver Coast region. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping make many dreams come true, always with the mission of providing an excellent service.

My team and I are committed to transparency, trust and personalised service. We work tirelessly to ensure that every client receives the attention they deserve, always striving to exceed expectations.

We look forward to welcoming you to the SmartHomes family. Join us and let us help you find the perfect place for your future!
