Taught by a practitioner.
The Academy is an education company. It turns nearly three decades of real-estate practice into teachable method — the tools and criteria to make better decisions for yourself.
The founderJosé Covas, FRICS.
José Covas has spent close to thirty years in real estate — valuation, investment analysis and cross-border practice, from single assets to portfolios, across Europe, the Middle East and beyond.
He built the Academy to pass on how he thinks: a repeatable framework for reading a deal and reaching a decision you can defend — taught as education, so you learn to decide for yourself.
The same standards that guide professional practice shape how we teach — clear method, honest limits, and respect for the decisions you have to make.
Real practice, not theory
Every method comes from real files and real decisions, distilled for learning — not textbook abstraction.
Decision-focused
We teach judgement: how to weigh the same information as everyone else and reach a better, defensible call.
Built for cross-border
Designed for investors and professionals working across markets they do not live in.
