Xtophe Properties was founded in 2022 by Christophe Londot, a young dreamer with the intention of flying high. Christophe has been working in the real estate business since 2013 and from that moment on, he has continued his career working with leading real estate agents in the luxury market in the Algarve, in addition to working with major partnerships in the international real estate market.
