Why Karen Brought Atrium to Portugal

After decades of success in New York City’s competitive real estate market, Karen recognized Portugal as a rising global destination for both lifestyle and investment. Drawn by the country’s dynamic economy, architectural heritage, and growing international appeal, she saw an opportunity to bring Atrium’s trusted advisory model to a market defined by potential and sophistication.

Karen’s decision to establish Atrium RE Portugal stemmed from a vision to connect global investors with exceptional opportunities in one of Europe’s most promising real estate landscapes. Combining her extensive experience, strategic insight, and client-first philosophy, Karen set out to build a bridge between New York and Portugal—delivering the same standard of excellence, integrity, and market expertise that defines Atrium’s legacy.
