JOANA BRANQUINHO
JOANA BRANQUINHO
A great listener and even greater negotiator, Joana distills her vast knowledge and experience to both her clients and the team of experts she passionately leads. Renowned for her excellent discerning abilities and pragmatic approach, Joana’s reputation precedes her.
A former veterinary university lecturer and manager of luxury serviced apartments, Joana has caught the real estate bug early on from her parents - who both made savvy investments as a way of generating income. Having professionally turned to the industry in 2017, Joana is now the Founder and CEO of ORIA.
When she’s not at the helm of ORIA, you can find Joana practicing yoga, strolling along the beach or horseback riding - a passion she has maintained from even before her veterinarian years.

Founder & CEO
Lawrence M. Chu, USA
Real estate is an industry entirely reliant on building trust. That’s what people truly care about, and being responsive is a key part for achieving that trust. ORIA’s team is constantly on top of things, texting back efficiently even when it is difficult to answer right away. They listen far more than they talk, but have valuable opinions and insights when needed, which I think is the perfect balance.
Jon Soberg, USA
ORIA is the first and only real estate advisory I have had contact with in Portugal, as I liked them immensely from the get-go. They know the market really well and have a killer ability to narrow down what is a good bet for you. They became a point of reference for all initial contacts with lawyers, accountants and the like. I’ve referred them to over 20 people since we started working together.
Kunal Gupta, Canada
The team at ORIA is incredibly knowledgeable about both the market and how to work with foreign clients. They are objective and sensible, with an astounding ability to have a balanced opinion of the properties they present.
Shahrokh Bagherzadeh, UK
My lawyer connected me with ORIA and I immediately felt like I was in good hands. The property I ended up buying didn’t give them the best commission, but they showed it to me regardless because it was the one that matched my requirements. They are without a doubt a very competent, professional and, above all, honest team.
Georges Bou Jaoude, Lebanon
ORIA is the place where the unfeasible becomes feasible, and Joana is a true professional who just makes things happen. She has excellent listening and negotiation skills — so much so that, because of a great deal she came up with, I ended up selling a property I wasn’t even looking to sell.
Andrew Peek, New York
Joana was referred to me by a client of hers. I live in NYC and was looking to purchase a property in Lisbon to spend some time there. We spoke on the phone regarding my needs, I flew to Lisbon to see a shortlist of 6 properties she put together, and I ended up purchasing one of those six. It was probably one of the most effortless and straightforward purchases I’ve ever made.
Anthony Dell & Farihan Abu Habda, UK
I have never had such a positive experience in over 30 years of buying and selling real estate in the UK and Europe. Best of all, the property was under offer within a few days of being listed, with a cash buyer from the USA. We were extremely happy with the transaction, and also with the follow-up support from Joana and her superlative team at ORIA.
