Free valuation
Know the value of your property
Most Algarve sellers leave money on the table, either by underpricing to sell fast, or overpricing and watching their listing go stale. Both are avoidable. My job is to find the price the international buyer pool will actually pay, market your home to reach them, and handle the paperwork and negotiation so you don’t have to think about it.
Get an instant valuation of your property, based on real data
Three questions, one instant estimate, sent straight to your email. It's built from Portugal's national statistics office data, published every quarter, using completed sales rather than asking prices.
Latest official data: Q1 2026
Your figure is ready
I use your email to send this estimate and to follow up about your property. Privacy policy.
Why is this lower than the property portals?
Portals show asking prices, which is what sellers hope to get. These figures come from INE, Portugal's national statistics office, which records what buyers actually paid. The data comes from IMT and IMI records at the notary, so these are completed sales, not hopes.
Neither is wrong. They measure different things. Asking prices tell you what the market wants. Recorded sales tell you what the market did.
This is a market range, not a valuation of your home.
Your figure depends on condition, exact position, sea view, plot, licensing and how the property presents. Two homes on the same street can sit at opposite ends of this range.

misstep on Portuguese paperwork can cost more than the commission.
Working with an experienced agent doesn’t just take the stress out of the process. In most sales, it delivers a faster and better result that more than covers the commission.

A service built for international standards
One agent. International standards. Every buyer in reach.
Selling an Algarve home as an international owner isn’t a local-portal job. Your buyer is in London, Berlin or Boston, but the rules, taxes and paperwork are Portuguese. Both halves need to be handled by someone who actually understands them.
I’ve spent 25 years in the real estate business: pricing, marketing, negotiation, and the paperwork that keeps deals closing on time. I work the Western Algarve as an expat myself, in four languages, with one person running your sale from valuation to deed.
That’s the difference. Not a team passing you between desks. Not a junior agent with a local buyer pool. You work directly with me, with eXp’s global network behind you, and a service standard you’d expect in London, New York or Amsterdam.

Your lawyer and I will guide you through the process.
Pricing your home correctly is crucial for attracting buyers and maximizing your sale price. A comparative market analysis (CMA) considering recent sales of similar homes in your area will help you find the sweet spot.
While major renovations might not be necessary, addressing minor repairs and ensuring your home is clean and presentable can make a positive impression on buyers.
Choosing the right agent involves considering their experience, local market expertise, marketing strategies, and language skills if you’re dealing with international buyers. Seek recommendations and interview multiple agents before making your decision.
The average time on market can vary depending on location, price, condition, and current market conditions. Your agent can provide insights into the local market and offer a realistic timeline.
Be prepared for costs such as agent commissions, capital gains tax (if applicable), legal representative fees, and registration fees. Your agent and lawyer can give you a clear breakdown of expected costs.
Decluttering, depersonalizing, and staging your home can help buyers envision themselves living in the space. Simple updates like fresh paint and landscaping can also make a big difference.
Be prepared for offers, counteroffers, and potential contingencies. Your agent will guide you through negotiations and help you reach a mutually agreeable deal.
Consult a tax professional to understand the potential tax consequences of selling your home, including capital gains taxes and any applicable exemptions.
