The remarkable journey of Marga, who, after a challenging period in her life, including a divorce and relocation from the UK to the Algarve in 2009 with her two young children, demonstrates her entrepreneurial spirit. Her initial struggle with the language barrier and the necessity to earn a livelihood led her to start cleaning homes. This beginning, combined with her background as an office manager in the UK, eventually transforms into a successful company managing holiday rentals.
Transition to Property Management
Marga began assisting some property owners with their holiday rentals during the summer months, a role that quickly expanded due to positive word-of-mouth recommendations. Marga’s dedication and the personal touch she added to each property did not go unnoticed, and she soon found herself managing a handful of properties, both full-time and seasonal.
Balancing the demands of her growing business with her responsibilities as a single parent was no small task. Marga managed bookings, guest communications, check-ins, and cleaning. All while caring for her children, without ever compromising on the quality of her service. Despite the constant workload, Marga remained committed to her role, sacrificing personal holidays.
