Vasco Horta
Director / Licensee
An award-winning agent having sold many hundreds of properties over his career, Vasco’s passion for real estate was ignited when he purchased his first property in Bicton at the age of 20.
Amassing over four decades of sales and marketing experience, including twelve years as a small business owner, Vasco transitioned to real estate in 2006. His own experience in home renovations, property investment and development, and building a custom-designed home gave him a substantial grounding in his new career.
As a Licensed Auctioneer and Licensee, Vasco is skilled in residential and commercial property sales. Vasco has been the Sales Manager of a large independent agency and has owned and operated two agencies, including Zest Realty.
Together with Lorraine, Vasco created Zest Realty as an independent agency with connections to industry-leading systems and processes, enabling them to work effectively and efficiently. Providing clients with a world-class experience at a very local and personal level is Zest’s mission.
Not one to sit still, Vasco enjoys keeping fit. He’s an avid cyclist, often riding over 50km at a time. He’s also a keen ‘hobby’ photographer, with a particular interest in landscape photography, discovering a creative flair for it at twelve years of age. Some of Vasco’s photography is on display at Zest Realty office.
