Porto, Portugal · Five Generations of Trust
Seven Continents is an international holding company owning three specialist brands across relocation, real estate, and travel. One standard across all three: absolute transparency, every time.
A holding company built on five generations of earned trust — rooted in Porto, serving the world.
Seven Continents is not a real estate agency, nor a relocation consultancy. It is the holding umbrella behind three specialist brands — each operating with full independence and depth in its own field, backed by the same values, infrastructure, and leadership.
Founded in Porto by Henrique Jansouz — a fifth-generation business leader whose family legacy spans 120+ years in the Persian carpet trade and 50+ years in construction and real estate development — Seven Continents was built on one conviction: international clients deserve an advisor who will tell them the truth even when it is uncomfortable.
Today we serve clients across four continents through a multilingual team fluent in seven languages, deeply familiar with the cultures behind every decision we help make.
"We built Seven Continents because the market needed one firm that would never put its own interest above the client's. That is not a value statement. It is an operating principle."
— Henrique Jansouz, FounderSpecialist by design
Three brands, each the best in its category. No dilution — every client lands with a genuine expert.
Radical transparency
We tell clients what is realistic, what it costs, and what can go wrong. No surprises, no agenda.
Language & culture
7 languages. We understand the cultural weight behind every major decision our clients face.
End-to-end ownership
One team sees every case from first call to final outcome. We never hand clients off.
Five generations of roots
120+ years of family business heritage. The judgment that comes from real roots cannot be replicated.
International network
Direct relationships with international banks and exclusive developers — access unavailable elsewhere.
Each brand leads in its category — sharing values, leadership, and infrastructure, while operating with complete specialist depth in its own domain.
The dedicated brand for international clients relocating to Portugal — end-to-end, in your language, with absolute transparency.
The dedicated brand for property acquisition, investment, and development — full-cycle service for investors who expect the best.
The dedicated brand for bespoke travel across Portugal — curated itineraries, cultural journeys, and luxury experiences.
Five generations of business mastery. Fifteen years shaping Portugal's international client landscape. One standard that never moves: honesty above everything.
Henrique Jansouz did not enter the relocation and real estate industry — he was shaped by it from birth. Born into a prominent family with over 120 years of heritage in the Persian carpet trade and 50 years in construction and real estate development across the Middle East and Europe, Henrique represents the fifth generation of a lineage built on commerce, trust, and the art of navigating across cultures.
That heritage gave him something no school can teach: the ability to understand the full weight of a major life decision, read people with precision, and remain honest even when the truth is not what the client hoped to hear. It is a discipline, not a personality trait. It is what separates Seven Continents from every other firm in this space.
Over 15 years of hands-on work in Portugal's relocation and property sectors, Henrique has guided individuals, families, and investors through the complexity of Portuguese residency law, real estate markets, and the deeply personal experience of beginning a new life in a new country. More than 243 clients across four continents have trusted him with decisions that changed their lives.
His vision for Seven Continents was deliberate: build specialist brands that operate with depth, not breadth. Hire a team that reflects the diversity of the clients served. And never, under any circumstance, place commercial interest above the client's. That is the founding principle. It remains non-negotiable.
Persian carpet trade & merchant heritage — cross-cultural commerce across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe. A family defined by quality, negotiation, and long-term trust.
Construction & real estate development — 50 years expanding the family's expertise into property, construction, and long-term investment. The foundation on which the next generation was built.
International relocation, real estate & travel in Portugal — responsible for the family's business interests and investments globally. Rooted in Porto, serving clients from Dubai to Moscow, Tehran to Riyadh.
Henrique was introduced by a trusted friend. Though we communicated only virtually, I felt complete trust from the very first call. The D7 process was smooth, honest, and exactly as promised. We are settled in Porto with our two children.

Dubai → Porto
The property acquired through Luxantic exceeded our projections in year one. Their market intelligence is unmatched — no fluff, only substance. They connected us to their banking partner and saved weeks of searching.
S. Rashidov
Baku → Lisbon
Relocating from Tehran with a family needs someone who truly understands your background. The Persian-speaking team made everything personal, not transactional. We are happily settled in Cascais.
A. Farrokhzad
Tehran → Cascais
As a tech entrepreneur on the D8 visa, I needed speed and precision. The team delivered both. Documents, housing, registration — all handled before I landed in Lisbon. Extraordinary coordination.
T. Yilmaz
Istanbul → Lisbon
Luxantic sourced an off-plan apartment in Porto we could not find anywhere else. Their developer network is genuinely exclusive. ROI after 18 months is already above initial projections.
N. Al-Amin
Riyadh → Porto
We came for two weeks and left with a full residency plan. Their honesty was striking — they told us what was realistic, not what we wanted to hear. Six months later our D7 was approved.
