Welcome!
We are “The Buyers Agent Portugal”, a boutique buyer’s advisory service firm.
The company was created to do things differently and better. We took a critical look at the industry, listened to our client’s feedback and put together an approach which we believe will bring better value to our buying clients.
…but we saw a real gap in the market, whereby buyers could get genuine independent representation, advisory and support and make the searching and buying process as stress-free and as risk-free as possible.
Buying in a foreign country can be both exhilarating and frightening. The Portuguese market is set in a way, whereby buyers do not have anyone to act on their behalf. Instead, real estate agencies are mandated by the sellers, so there is an argument to say that the agent is working for the seller. Add to this a different ecosystem, a different language, no network to rely on and the general opacity of the market, and this can quickly become a daunting situation.

Our client-focused approach to property acquisition is tailored to thoroughly understand your wants and needs. We treat your money as if it was our own and always analyse a property from an investment perspective. It’s important to us that should your plans change in the future, you have an asset that is compelling and attractive and can be sold quickly.
We have a different approach to business, a different approach to customer service, a different attitude, a different culture. We know the importance of fresh thinking and exceeding the expectations of our customers.
Why is transparency so important?
If asked for 10 working principles, transparency would probably take the first 5 spots! Because in an industry that lacks it, we believe it is even more important to empower our clients with knowledge and information. We also think that in our line of work, transparency, together with integrity are the foundations of trust.
You get out of life what you give.
We are generous with our time and our knowledge and thats because we want to do a great job. We have heard it time and time again “time is money”, but what if we misunderstood? What if we interpret it as “if you put enough time into something, the rewards follow?”
Our business is a people business.
We are you: we are foreigners in a foreign country. We have bought and renovated properties and wondered if we were told the full story. We’ve tried to understand the law of the land in a different language countless time. We have read contradictory information or horror stories. We get it!
We take a unique approach to business, customer service, attitude, and culture. We value fresh thinking and strive to exceed our client’s expectations.
Our service reflects our personalities so, it is important for you to know who we are. We are not “9 to 5” workers; we are dedicated professionals who take pride in our work. We bring a wealth of worldwide experience to the table, setting us apart.
We have carefully selected the three main working principles that guide our interactions with our clients and partners.
We made the decision to work exclusively with buyers and offer a personalised service that represents you and safeguards your interests throughout the process.
You mandate us and pay us a retainer to accompany you on this journey and act as your representative in the market.
We get to know you, your ambitions and objectives, and help shape and define them. We scour the market on your behalf and draw up a list of viable options in preparation for your visits. We negotiate according to your tailored needs and guide you through the buying process until completion.
Having lived and worked in Portugal for many years, we have selected partners we like to recommend, solely based on their ability to perform, and we will be delighted to share our network with you.
If the investment angle is paramount to you, we will provide you with market data and comparative analysis, to ensure that the numbers work for you, allowing you to make an informed decision.

For this to work best, we do not act as a traditional real estate agency, we do not promote properties and we do not represent owners.
