Real Estate Firms
Portugal has a unique system of rules and practices that govern how real estate agents operate. As it is a largely unregulated area, working with the large brand names may not work in your favour.
In essence, you cannot apply the standards of your home country to how agents operate in Portugal.
e.g. Commissions are paid by sellers or landlords. Even if you decide to pay them, your agent has no access to a large database and cannot work in your best interest.
Vivien has met and curated 5 firms, based on her own house hunting experience as well as assisting friends/clientsto secure their investments or new homes. They all possess the 5 values that are exhibited above.
