Why so many homes sit on the market for months

A home doesn’t sell because it’s on a portal. It sells because it’s positioned well.

  1. 01

    Priced away from the market

    Too high and the listing goes stale. Too low and you leave money on the table.

  2. 02

    Weak presentation

    Dark photos and generic listings make the right buyer scroll straight past.

  3. 03

    Unfiltered viewings

    Dozens of curious visitors, very few with approved finance and a real intention to buy.

  4. 04

    Negotiating on impulse

    The first offer arrives and decisions get made without a strategy. That’s where most value is lost.

How I sell your home

A method, not just a listing.

Start with a valuation
  1. 1

    Market valuation

    I visit the property, compare it with real sales nearby and explain — with numbers — the price that sells and a realistic timeline.

  2. 2

    Preparation and presentation

    Small adjustments, careful photography and a presentation designed for the people looking for exactly that home.

  3. 3

    Wide-reaching promotion

    The RE/MAX network, the agency’s database of buyers and my own social media community.

  4. 4

    Qualified viewings

    Before opening the door, we make sure the visitor can actually buy. Fewer viewings, better offers.

  5. 5

    Negotiation through to completion

    I defend your price at the table and follow the whole process — paperwork, the buyer’s mortgage and the deed signing.

That’s how long it took me to convince a client that this was the right home for her.

About me

I started in the field. I’m still there.

I came into real estate with a huge drive to grow, without imagining everything this profession would ask of me. I learnt on the ground: through hard decisions, challenging days and the moments when I had to trust myself to keep going.

Today I lead RE/MAX VilaNova in Vila Nova de Famalicão. Not because of the size of the team or the numbers, but because of the culture we have built and the way we work.

“Getting results matters. Sustaining them and growing consistently is what sets a professional apart.”

Frequently asked questions

What owners ask me.

How much does a property valuation cost?

The market valuation is free and with no obligation. I visit the property, analyse recent sales in the area and give you a realistic price and a sales strategy.

I live abroad. Can I sell my property in Portugal?

Yes. Many owners sell without being in Portugal full time. We handle viewings and day-to-day contact, and explain what you need — such as a Portuguese tax number (NIF) and, if useful, a power of attorney — so you only travel when it is really necessary.

How long does it take to sell?

It mainly depends on price and property type. A well-positioned home usually receives offers within the first weeks; in the valuation I give you a realistic timeline for your case.

What is the commission?

The commission is set out in the brokerage agreement and is only paid when the sale completes. I explain every condition before you sign.

Which documents do I need to sell?

The land registry certificate (certidão permanente), the tax registry extract (caderneta predial), the habitation licence and the energy certificate. If anything is missing, the team helps you get it.

Do you speak English?

Yes — you can contact us in English by phone, email or WhatsApp.

Want to grow in real estate with structure?
