Cristina Raru Inspiring Journey with Ideal Homes Portugal From Hospitality to Real Estate Success
Portugal, 10th Sep 2025 – Ideal Homes Portugal is proud to spotlight the inspiring career journey of Cristina Raru, one of its dedicated real estate advisors whose story reflects the company’s culture of opportunity, support, and success. Cristina’s path from the hospitality industry in the United Kingdom to a thriving real estate career in Portugal highlights the power of determination, passion, and the right work environment.
After living in the UK for nearly two decades, Cristina relocated to Portugal with her husband and young daughter to begin a new chapter. Having built her career in hospitality, managing busy front desks for some of the UK’s most well-known restaurant groups, Cristina possessed a natural talent for client service and relationship building.

When the opportunity arose to join Ideal Homes Portugal, it became the perfect chance to transform that passion into a career.
“From the very first day at Ideal Homes, I felt so welcomed,” Cristina recalls. “That sense of belonging translates directly into the way we support our clients. The culture here is unlike anything I have ever experienced—it truly motivates me to give my very best.”
