The company ABN Sousa, the main shareholder of the master franchise of Century 21 Iberia, has just acquired a 50 percent stake in the financial advisers specialist Iberia Exchange. The strategy is to bring together both areas of expertise in order to enhance joint operational synergies. Joaquim Rocha de Sousa, president of ABN Sousa, explains that “with the experience we have in real estate and on their lending processes to housing, we consider entering the Exchange’s capital as an opportunity to leverage new business areas.” Along with evaluating the financial strength of its customers and providing financial advice, Exchange offers personal loans to carry out works and decorations or even to allow the sale of properties at values less than the size of the mortgage debt on them.
