Real Estate Agent
About Carla Santos
I am Carla Santos, a verified real estate agent based in Sintra and proudly affiliated with ZOME Abóboda, one of Lisboa’s most trusted agencies. Sintra, with its breathtaking landscapes and UNESCO World Heritage sites, is where I focus my energy-helping clients navigate both historic villas in Cascais and modern apartments in Lar (home) communities that blend tradition with contemporary living. My approach is rooted in listening first, then guiding-whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I prioritize clarity and peace of mind.
Fluency in Portuguese, English, and Spanish allows me to bridge cultural and linguistic gaps seamlessly. Many clients appreciate this when they’re não residentes (non-residents) exploring Golden Visa opportunities. I specialize in properties eligible for Portugal’s Golden Visa program, which grants residency rights through real estate investment. This path isn’t just about transactions; it’s about understanding your long-term goals, from family relocation to portfolio growth.
Clients often ask me to explain the Golden Visa Properties process. Why Sintra? Because its charm and proximity to Lisboa make it a hotspot for international buyers. I work with architects, lawyers, and tax advisors to ensure every detail aligns with your needs-whether that’s a moradia (detached home) with land or a apartamento (apartment) in a vibrant neighborhood. I’m here to demystify bureaucracy, negotiate on your behalf, and connect you with trusted local experts.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
How do you simplify Golden Visa requirements?
I partner with certified professionals to verify property eligibility and streamline documentation, ensuring compliance with SEF (Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service) guidelines.
Can I rent out my property while applying for residency?
Yes, and many clients do. I help identify properties with rental potential without compromising visa eligibility.
What makes Sintra unique?
Its blend of castles, forests, and coastal access creates a lifestyle you won’t find elsewhere. Plus, it’s just 30 minutes from Lisboa by train!
I’ve seen firsthand how a home-or an investment-can transform someone’s future. In every negotiation, I aim to reflect my clients’ ambitions, not just market trends. That’s why I take pride in the relationships I build, long after keys are handed over.
