Founded by two best friends, Eden Bouchoucha and Semih Menda, the company emphasizes excellence in both real estate and innovative marketing. Their combined expertise has been instrumental in Seed’s rapid success.

Eden Bouchoucha brought valuable experience in real estate, having arrived in Portugal two years before Seed’s creation, working as an agent and investor. Semih Menda, better known as Sam, transitioned from a successful career in filmmaking and directing commercials for international brands. During the COVID pandemic, Eden’s industry contacts and Sam’s marketing vision led to the formation of Seed Real Estate.

Today, Seed operates from an office described as “more like a creative agency” rather than a traditional real estate firm. According to Eden, the office provides a unique infrastructure designed to inspire both employees and clients, distinctly setting Seed apart from other agencies. They have also cultivated an environment for their agents that combines top-tier training with a collaborative team culture, enhancing performance and fostering a positive, energetic vibe within the office.

Innovative marketing

Seed Real Estate’s marketing strategy consistently highlights its dedication to quality. Every property, regardless of its condition or price, receives professional photography and cinematic videography. Sam explained to The Portugal News, “Even the most affordable, renovation-needed apartment receives a professional video and photoshoot. Every property deserves high-quality marketing.” Seed’s in-house marketing team not only supports the property portfolio but also actively manages each agent’s personal social media branding.

Awarded work

Seed Real Estate has secured multiple honors at the International Property Awards, reflecting its commitment to excellence. For two consecutive years, Seed won awards for Best Real Estate Agency (Single Office), Best Real Estate Marketing, and Best Real Estate Website in Portugal. Individually, Sam was recognized as the Best Real Estate Agent in Portugal last year. His success continued this year, earning him the title of Best Real Estate Agent in Europe, culminating in the prestigious recognition as the Best Real Estate Agent in the World.

Long-lasting relationships

Seed’s remarkable growth is built upon genuine and honest relationships with clients. The trust developed through transparent interactions has turned one-time customers into lifetime clients. Investors who initially purchased small apartments have grown alongside Seed, now investing in larger-scale projects and entire buildings, reflecting the long-term trust and confidence Seed fosters.

The future

The two founders aim to expand Seed’s reach beyond its single-office operations while maintaining the high standards that define their identity. Seed Real Estate remains dedicated to delivering exceptional service to clients seeking quality and innovation in the Portuguese real estate market.
