Porfinca starts to participate as one of the first local agencies in International real estate exhibitions in the UK , Netherlands and Belgium. For a couple of years the main buyers had the English nationality, followed by National , and French clients.

Porfinca opens a bigger and better located office at the Avenue de Catalunya in Sant Antoni de Calonge.

Porfinca was one of te first real estate agencies that started to put a lot of efforts in the transition from paper- to digital publicity. Own website promotion via Google ( SEO) and publishing in international websites became Key.

The collapse of Lehman Brothers became the signal event of the 2008 financial crisis that particularly hit the real estate market. An already well established reputation and continuing focus on sales transactions at the Costa Brava only helped us survive over the next couple of years.

It is the start of a period in which clients start to search more and more on Mobile phones and tablets; Porfinca launches an important overhaul in its website to anticipate this behavioural change.

2018 is the year of an important renovation of the present office to accomodate better the growing number of clients and create a better work-environment for our enthousiastic and innovative staff.

During the Covid period Porfinca intensified and improved the use of virtual visits with big succes; the loosening of the quarantine thereafter implied a big boom almost never seen in property sales at the Costa Brava.

As a consequence of the Ucrainian war and some signals that European country economies might slow down, some fear grew for a weakening of the real estate sector at the Costa Brava. However,first half of 2023 the market stays as positiv as it was during the post Covid period.
