His experience has taken him to Dubai, Germany, and Cyprus, and he has now returned to Portugal, where his journey began. After successfully negotiating hundreds of property acquisitions over the past 15 years, few professionals can match his level of expertise or offer a better working experience.

Driven by his vision to provide investors with unparalleled service, Gary now dedicates his efforts to building a group of companies specifically designed to help overseas investors grow their portfolios.

David's career has always been rooted in sales, gaining extensive experience in client care across various sectors. In 2005, he seized the opportunity to move to Portugal with his family, immersing himself in the local real estate market and tackling every type of sales and purchase challenge. Feeling at home in Portugal, David has lived there with his family ever since. As a former Regional Manager for one of the world's largest real estate companies, his vision to provide investors with exceptional service led him, alongside Gary, to establish the Harland & Poston Group, a collection of brands designed to help overseas investors grow their portfolios.
