Real Estate Agent
About Cristina Carvalho
I am Cristina Carvalho, a verified real estate agent specializing in Cascais and Greater Lisbon through iad Portugal. As an independent consultant, I focus entirely on matching your needs with the right property-whether you’re searching for a home, investment, or navigating the Golden Visa Properties process. My approach is rooted in the flexibility of iad’s model: without physical offices, I meet you where you are, prioritizing transparency and personalized attention from your first inquiry to closing. This means no generic advice, just dedicated support tailored to your goals in one of Portugal’s most sought-after coastal regions.
When you’re buying, I treat your search as deeply personal. If my current portfolio doesn’t show your ideal home, I’ll proactively hunt for off-market listings or new opportunities-especially for First-Time Buyers who need guidance on financing, neighborhoods, or legal steps. For sellers, I provide a realistic valuation and leverage iad’s reach to advertise your property across 200+ global portals at no extra cost. My commitment is to simplify every stage: I handle paperwork, coordinate viewings, and clarify complexities like Escritura (the final deed-signing), so you feel confident, not overwhelmed.
You’ll work with me directly-not a team or automated system-because real estate hinges on trust. As a bilingual agent fluent in Portuguese and English, I bridge communication gaps seamlessly, whether you’re a local family or an international investor. My priority isn’t just closing deals; it’s ensuring Cascais feels like home, whether you’re settling here permanently or securing a strategic asset. With iad’s digital efficiency, I offer the agility of a modern consultancy while keeping service human-centered.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
How long does the Golden Visa process take here?
Timelines vary based on your application type and documentation, but I’ll connect you with trusted legal partners for clear, realistic estimates upfront-no vague promises.
Do you help first-time buyers with mortgage pre-approvals?
Absolutely. I introduce you to lenders familiar with Lisbon’s market and guide you through required steps, like the NIF (tax ID) setup, before you view properties.
Why no physical office?
iad’s virtual model cuts overhead costs, so I invest that savings into your service-like 24/7 availability for viewings or detailed market insights-without inflating fees.
Real estate here isn’t transactional; it’s about finding your place in a community I know intimately. Let’s start that journey together.
