Get to know me
Who I am and how I can help.
Graduate in International Relations with a focus on Economics, I joined banking early and took charge of several branches in Northern Portugal. The drive to serve my clients and to close the «best deals» for them has always been in my blood.
That same drive followed me when I decided to enter the property market — which has become a true passion.
If you ask me whether I'm like any other consultant, I would say no. I specialise in guiding seller clients through reinvesting their capital, which means with me you get the full operation: from selling your current property to identifying and closing on your next investment.
I've also specialised in technical English, so I can serve clients and deals from anywhere in the world — Portuguese expats abroad, foreign buyers in Portugal, or international funds.
With me, the client is looked after from the very first contact — no intermediaries, no handovers to team members, no waiting.
How I help
- Mortgages without surprises — I analyse your situation, run simulations across scenarios and negotiate with the banks I worked with as a branch manager.
- Hand-picked properties — focus on quality homes in Northern Portugal, with particular attention to the premium segment.
- Listings with a realistic valuation — if you're selling, I tell you what your property is really worth and what to do to enhance it before going to market.
- Reinvesting the proceeds — I help structure the next step (new purchase, letting, short-term rental, PPR pension or bank deposit) with a joined-up tax and financial read.
- Support all the way to completion — I handle the promissory contract, paperwork, banks, notary and land registry.
- Discretion and confidentiality — I come from banking; I know what it means to protect data and deals.
Where I work
My area of work is Porto and Greater Porto: Porto, Matosinhos, Vila Nova de Gaia, Maia, Gondomar, Valongo, Póvoa de Varzim, Vila do Conde and Santo Tirso. I partner with VILLÈ Real Estate (AMI 15973), with offices at Rua do Pinheiro Manso 662, Porto.
Book a chat — no strings attached. I listen to your goals, understand your situation and give you an honest answer on whether I can help. By phone, WhatsApp or contact form.
