What is an AMI Licence?

In order to operate legally in Portugal, an estate agent must train and become certified by the Instituto da Construcao e do Imobiliario, (INCI). Estate Agents are strictly regulated, making it simple for you to check on credentials for an agent you may be working with. All estate agents in Portugal are required to display their AMI (Associacão de Mediadores Imobiliários) number on every type of literature related to their business. This includes their webpage, flyers used for promotion, business cards, and all marketing and advertisement ventures. This makes it extremely simple to check the credentials of a Portuguese estate agent.
