eXp agents sourcing buyers in 29 countries
Built for owners selling from Portugal or abroad
A generic estate agent service doesn’t fit international owners. Everything here is designed with the reality of international owners in mind.
Remote end-to-end
From listing to notary. I keep you updated, share a live document folder, and you only step in when a decision is needed.
Real 2026 pricing
Your valuation is built from actual recent sales I track in your street and micro-market — not portal asking prices, which are usually 8–12% above what buyers actually pay.
The international buyer pool
Marketed in 5 languages across 11 portals, routed into the eXp agent network of 83,000 agents in 29 countries. Most of your likely buyers are outside Portugal — that’s where your listing needs to be.
All the Portuguese paperwork
Caderneta, energy cert, taxes, fiscal representative liaison, AL deregistration if needed. I manage the whole document trail and flag anything that needs your signature.
2025 was a record year. Here's where Western Algarve prices sit now.
National house prices, Q4 2025 YoY — the strongest quarterly reading since the INE series began.
INE Q4 2025 Residential Price Index
Full-year 2025 average price growth across Portugal — record on the series.
INE, annual figure, published April 2026
National median time to sell a house in Q1 2026. Well-priced Western Algarve homes in demand pockets typically clear faster.
Doutor Finanças Observatório, Q1 2026
Sources: Idealista Price Index (município-level asking prices, Feb 2026); INE Residential Price Index (Q4 2025 & full-year 2025 transaction prices, published April 2026); Doutor Finanças Observatório (time-on-market, Q1 2026). Idealista figures are asking prices, not completed transactions — I adjust against recent sales evidence when I run your actual valuation.

Posted on Margarida CastroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Telefonei ao Steve sem o conhecer ou ter qualquer indicação, objetivo comprar uma loja. Desde o primeiro dia que eu senti que tinha feito o telefonema certo. Pontualidade, educação , simpatia e acima de tudo muito profissionalismo. O negócio não foi fácil por causa dos valores, mas ele nunca desistiu e graças a ele chegamos a um acordo. Tratou de tudo e apresentou -me tudo o que eu pedia para ver ,para me sentir segura, acta ,recibos,condomínios ect. Foi mais que um vendedor foi um parceiro para ambas as partes nunca negligenciando nem o vendedor nem o comprador. Apesar a minha ausência tratou de tudo mantendo -me sempre a par.
