Maya de Filippo
Co-owner
Originally from the South of France, Maya developed a passion for travel at an early age, leading to exploring various corners of the globe. Her studies and professional endeavours took her to various countries before she settled in Portugal, where she joined a global real estate agency as a Property sales consultant.
The Buyer’s Agent Portugal was born from her understanding of the real estate ecosystem and taking on board her clients’ feedback. She recognised a recurring issue concerning the safeguarding of the buyer’s interests.
When Maya isn’t assisting clients in their quest for the perfect property, she loves spending time with her friends and family and practices numerous outdoor pursuits and sports. A fervent advocate for fitness and wellness, both mental and physical, she also channels her entrepreneurial spirit into the realm of crypto and property investment ventures.

Joe Pyke
Co-owner
Joe was born and raised in a small British coastal town called Southport (home to the famous Royal Birkdale for the golf lovers out there)!
From an early age, Joe developed a keen interest in the housing market, investing in a local property at the age of 21. He started by managing a property rental portfolio in the UK, gradually expanding to include Berlin, Italy, and then Portugal.
In 2017, a job offer in Portugal came up and by 2019, he was the Managing Director for the largest real estate company in Portugal, which later became affiliated with a global brand, steering the company through its integration into the global network.
When Joe is not absorbed in real estate, he enjoys spending time with his family. He’s also a bit of a sports fanatic and enjoys running, playing football, sea-swimming, or simply enjoying the company of friends during the never-ending BBQ season.

Co-owner
Joe was born and raised in the coastal town of Southport, UK, where he developed a passion for real estate, investing in his first property at 21. Over time, he expanded his property rental business across Berlin and Southern Italy, amassing a portfolio of 16 properties by 2016.
In 2017, a property investment opportunity and job offer brought him to Portugal, where he now calls home. He joined Portugal’s largest real estate company, eventually rising to Managing Director by 2019. During this time, he saw the growing demand from the American market and recognized gaps in Portuguese real estate operations that he was driven to address.
Outside of work, Joe enjoys family time, running, football, sea-swimming, and BBQs, embracing Portugal’s vibrant lifestyle.
