Illustrative conversation
Hi! We're a couple in Dublin looking at a 2-bed near Lagos, up to €450k. A holiday place we might rent out now and then. Is that something you help with?
Hi both, lovely spot! Yes, that's exactly what we do. Are you just starting to look, or hoping to buy fairly soon?
Ideally by next spring. Mostly cash. Honestly the paperwork scares us a bit 😅
Spring is very doable, and you won't face the paperwork alone. Want me to send a few homes this week, just to get a feel for prices?
Yes please!
Here are 3 I like 🏡 One tip on #2: three agencies list it at different prices, so I've linked the cheapest. Price history and nearby sales are on your private page 🔗
Amazing. If we fall for one, what happens next?
I'll take you through it step by step: tax number, legal checks with our lawyer, a live video viewing if you can't fly over. You decide, I do the chasing.
The offer
One concierge. The whole purchase. Brief to keys.
Portals, several agencies, a lawyer, a bank, a tax number, a notary and deadlines, often in a language you don't speak. We take all of it off your hands.

Cashback
Up to 50% back
of our net commission share, passed back to you.Seller's agencies share part of their commission with whoever brings the buyer. When that share comes to us, we pass up to half of our net share back to you.
How you'll always know
- Before you startOur fee and the cashback rule are set out in your written agreement.
- After the deedYou get the commission-sharing statement showing the exact amount paid for your purchase.
- About 15 days laterYour refund calculation in writing, then the payment: your fee refunded first, any balance by bank transfer.
Cashback depends on the commission share actually received on each purchase and is not guaranteed. Property search, viewings and negotiation are carried out under the licence of our partner [partner agency name], a licensed real estate mediation company (AMI n.º [_____]), under a written contract with you. Taxes (IMT, stamp duty), lawyer, notary and registration costs are not included.
Are you an estate agency?
No. We're a concierge that works for the buyer, and one team handles your whole purchase. Property search, viewings and negotiation are carried out under a licensed partner agency's AMI licence; legal work, credit and valuations are done by licensed partners.
Do I need to speak Portuguese?
No. Talk to us in your language; we handle the Portuguese side with partners, agents and offices.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in WhatsApp. The private page opens in any browser, without an account.
Who makes the decisions?
You do. We suggest, explain and chase. Nothing is offered or signed without you.
What about the 7.5% non-resident IMT?
Since around 25 May 2026 (Decree-Law 97/2026), non-resident buyers pay a flat 7.5% transfer tax (IMT). The difference can be refunded if you become tax resident within 2 years, or let the home at a moderate rent. We plan for it from day one and track the deadlines; our lawyer partner confirms how it applies to you. General information, not tax advice.
