Buyers Beware!!! i recently was contacted by Infinito Real based in Portugal after i left my details with rightmove in the UK. I was contacted by a very nice young lady called Theodora who explained about coming to Portugal on one of their discovery tours and charged me £49 and the same for my wife. When i arrived in Portugal i was met at the airport and all seemed to be going well and in fairness no pressure until i said i would like to do more home work as i got the feeling as did my wife that they seemed very keen to push two developments. I managed to get them to agree to give me the night to think about it after hours of pressure. That night was the luckiest night of our lives as i went into another agent on the marina at Vilamoura who informed me that infinito real are all ex MRI overseas property staff and were responsible for ripping off hundreds of unsuspecting brits back in 2006 - 2008 and now sell developments where they get 10% double the portugal norm. I was shocked and alarmed as we were aiming to spend up to €450, 000 for a property which meant infinito would pocket €45, 000 plus €10, 350 for vat. I gave our contact the benefit of the doubt in the morning to give me and my wife his side of the story. I wish i never did as Simon started being very rude and aggressive towards myself and my wife. My wife started crying and at this point i was subjected to a torrent of abuse. I hope by warning future targets i have saved someone the same treatment we received. I have since found out that all four owners are ex MRI. Beware of Steven Anderson, Simon Hobson, Davina McCall and Simon Quinton all four are ex MRI and famous around the Vilamoura area. I intend to take legal action against Infinito Real and will keep all posted. Their website www.infinitoreal.com mentions nothing of this.

Hi Collin it was a narrow escape for sure. I have since been contacted by a legal team working on behalf of an action group who are chasing ex MRI Overseas Property staff. I have passed all the information i have and it seems they are looking into them and another two companies who also have ex staff from this company. It seems that Portugal authorities chased MRI out of Portugal and Infinito Real staff are the ones left. It seems they didn't make enough money out of the pain of innocent clients. I have been speaking to people in Vilamoura to try to get more information on these four. They say on their website that they have 20 odd years of experience and are a group of property individuals who got together to help people find property at a slow pace, "ye right". I have passed as much information on infinito staff as i could to the action group and they assure me they will be passing this information to the authorities. If we all stick together these people will end up in court where they belong.
