Work with me
One thoughtful conversation can save months of searching.
Tell me what is drawing you to Portugal, what you want daily life to feel like and where the uncertainty begins. We'll talk through your lifestyle, priorities and hesitations, and narrow down where you are most likely to feel at home before we look at a single property.
This is likely a good fit if
- You are seriously considering a home in my core markets.
- You want advice that goes beyond available listings.
- You value candid trade-offs and an organized process.
- You are buying from abroad or navigating Portugal for the first time.
My core territory
- Lisbon
- Cascais and Estoril
- Sintra and Colares
- Ericeira and Mafra
- Selected Silver Coast markets
If the Algarve, Porto or the north turns out to be a better fit, I work with trusted partners there and can introduce you.
The process
Personal, clear and grounded in how you want to live.
Discovery
We discuss your purpose, timing, budget, places under consideration and what you need from an adviser.
Direction
I help you narrow down where to look and what to look for, including the compromises that matter most.
Search
We identify, filter and view appropriate opportunities across the market, not simply whatever looks good online.
Moving forward
Once you have found the right property, I stay closely involved through negotiation, due diligence and the purchase process, working alongside your lawyer and other independent specialists to keep everything moving toward completion.
How I am paid
The seller pays. Here is what that does and does not mean.
You do not pay me for buyer representation. In a typical Portuguese real estate transaction, my commission is paid from the seller's side. There is no retainer or search fee, and if you decide not to buy a property, you owe me nothing.
That structure raises a reasonable question: if I am only paid when you buy, where do my interests sit? My role is not to persuade you to complete a transaction. It is to help you make a well-informed one. Sometimes that means pointing out why a property, development or even an entire area may not be right for you. If your search falls outside the areas where I can add real value, I would rather refer you to someone who can.
I also directly represent several developments featured on this site. I am not paid more if you purchase one of these rather than another property, so my recommendations remain based on what best fits your needs. The advantage is access: because I know these projects in detail and work directly with them, I can obtain information about, or access to, units that are not publicly marketed. If one suits what you are looking for, that access can be valuable. If not, we keep looking. Each of those pages states the relationship at the top.
