HalloCasa Podcast With Michael & Leisa

By September 23, 2026Uncategorized

In this 295th session of HalloCasa, I talk with Leisa Wilcox, Broker & Owner of Portico International in Nashville, Tennessee.

Leisa is a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), a global real estate advisor, and an active member of the international real estate community. Through Portico International, she connects clients in Nashville with residential real estate opportunities locally while also helping Americans explore property and investment opportunities across Western Europe, including Portugal, Italy and Spain.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• How Leisa started her career in real estate
• The current Nashville real estate market
• Where and what to buy in Nashville
• What international buyers should know before investing in the U.S.
• Why Americans are increasingly interested in European real estate
• Portugal, Spain and Italy as international property markets
• How to build a trusted global real estate network
• FIABCI and the importance of international relationships
• How Leisa built Portico International
• The biggest mistakes international investors should avoid
• Practical advice for anyone considering buying property abroad

We also discuss what it really takes to connect real estate professionals across borders and why trusted relationships remain so important in an increasingly global property market.

Leisa’s philosophy is simple: your next home might be somewhere you haven’t been yet.
