What is the best way to search for homes in Portugal?
We asked expats in Portugal the best way to search for homes in Portugal. They said...
"There is no MLS in Portugal. You need to search a wide variety of consolidating sites (idealista.com) and individual real estate firm sites (Re/Max, K-W, Lars Sonho, etc.) You also want to talk to people in cafes and shops. Many properties sell by word of mouth. We worked with a Re/Max agent in Matosinhos who is herself an expat and specializes in the special needs of expat buyers. Her name is Fabiola Verissimo. She was worth her weight in gold," remarked another expat in Matosinhos, Portugal (a suburb or Porto), Portugal.
"There is no MLS equivalent. Different companies have different sources of properties for sale. Work with more than one real estate agent at the same time. Make sure your agent is licensed," said a member in Portugal.
