MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Weichert Real Estate Affiliates, Inc. (WREA) is proud to announce its international expansion through a licensing agreement with HomeLovers, a prominent real estate company based in Lisbon, Portugal. The partnership marks a significant milestone as the Weichert^® brand enters the international residential real estate market for the first time.

"This is a remarkable milestone for our Weichert organization," said Bill Scavone, president of Weichert Real Estate Affiliates, Inc. "We are thrilled to partner with Owner Miguel Tilli and his team and introduce the Weichert brand to Portugal. This is a great opportunity to share our resources and best practices with agents and clients worldwide. We look forward to a successful collaboration and to growing the Weichert brand internationally."

Tilli's brokerage will operate under the new name HomeLovers - Weichert while leveraging the well-known Weichert brand and its industry-leading systems, tools, and resources. The partnership will allow Tilli and his team to benefit from Weichert's innovative offerings, business coaching, and vast network of successful real estate owners.

"We are very excited for this partnership with Weichert," said Tilli. "With the growing number of American buyers in Portugal, we saw a fantastic opportunity to align with a successful American brand that can help build our credibility with these buyers. While researching potential partners, Weichert's core values and family-run approach resonated with us, making it the perfect fit."

Tilli founded HomeLovers in 2011 with the idea of differentiating his company from the competition by focusing on high-quality photography and innovative use of social media. Today, the company is one of the leading brokerages in Portugal's real estate market, with talented agents serving clients throughout Lisbon, Porto, Comporta, and surrounding regions.
