We list 8 to 14 homes at a time, so each one gets an agent who knows the region and a launch to buyers who already live abroad and are ready to buy.

What every listing includes

All of this is part of the fee. Nothing is billed separately, and nothing is due if the home doesn’t sell.

Photography in daylight and at dusk

A full set of interiors, exteriors and the view, shot by an architectural photographer on two visits.

A 60-second film

Filmed on the same days, with drone footage where the municipality allows it.

Measured floor plans

Drawn from a site survey, with the area of every room. Buyers abroad ask for these first.

Listing copy in three languages

English, Portuguese and French, written by us from a visit to the house, not from a form.

A document check before launch

Rita checks the land registry certificate, the tax record, the habitation licence and the energy certificate, so problems surface before a buyer’s lawyer finds them.

Listed where buyers look

On our site and email list, and on idealista, Imovirtual and Rightmove Overseas.

Our fee

5% + VAT

Paid by the seller on completion, out of the sale price. Nothing up front.

The agreement runs for six months, and either side can end it with 30 days’ notice. If you’d rather have us act for you as a buyer’s agent instead, that is 2% plus VAT, with a minimum of €12,000.

Week 1

Documents and photos

We check the paperwork, book the photographer and draw the floor plans.

Week 2

Launch

The listing goes to our email list first, then to the portals four days later.

Weeks 3 to 8

Viewings and offers

Video viewings for buyers abroad, then visits. We send you written feedback after each one.

After the offer

CPCV and deed

Usually 4 to 8 weeks from the promissory contract to the deed. Rita books every appointment.

Ask for a valuation

The agent for your region visits, looks at recent sales nearby and sends a written valuation within five working days. It’s free, and you decide afterwards whether to list with us.

Seller questions

Do I need an energy certificate before listing?

Yes. In Portugal a home can’t be advertised without one. If you don’t have it, we book the assessor, which usually costs €150 to €300 and takes about a week.

I live abroad. Do I need to be in Portugal to sell?

No. You can sign the CPCV and the deed through a lawyer with a power of attorney. Most of our sellers in 2025 came to Portugal once or not at all.

Will you list my home with other agencies too?

We work on exclusive agreements only. It means one price, one set of photos and one agent answering buyers, which is part of why our homes sell in a median of 38 days.

What about capital gains tax?

It depends on whether you are tax resident in Portugal and how long you have owned the home. We introduce you to a tax adviser before listing so the figure isn’t a surprise.
