About Michael Oliphant
Expat Advisor & Property Specialist
Houses · Country Homes · Agricultural Investments · Building Lots
As an English-speaking expat who’s navigated the relocation journey himself, first in Brazil and now rooted in Uruguay, Michael brings a wealth of firsthand experience to every client interaction. He understands the challenges of settling into a new country and is deeply committed to helping others do it with confidence and clarity.
Before moving to Uruguay, Michael was a full-time real estate investor in Canada, managing and transacting properties for his personal portfolio. That background gave him a sharp eye for value and a deep respect for capital preservation, qualities that continue to shape his work today. With over 12 years in the real estate industry, he’s earned a reputation for identifying fairly priced properties that support both lifestyle and long-term flexibility.
Michael’s approach is refreshingly human. For him, real estate is never about the hard sell. “The right property sells itself,” he says. His focus is on listening carefully, understanding his clients’ objectives, and offering options, including some they may not have considered, that lead to informed, confident decisions.
Clients value his honesty, insight, and the way he fills in the gaps, whether it’s demystifying how the market works or offering advice that goes beyond property, to help smooth the entire transition to life in Uruguay.
