I am David Ruah, a verified real estate agent with CENTURY 21 Isidoro Alves, helping people navigate Lisbon’s property landscape where the river meets the sea. My work focuses on Almada, Lisbon, Seixal, and Cascais-areas I know intimately, from Lisbon’s historic freguesias (parishes) to Cascais’ coastal charm. I guide clients through the realities of these distinct markets, whether they’re searching for a rental apartment near Costa da Caparica, a commercial space in central Lisbon, or a condominium in a secure condomínio (gated community). There are no shortcuts here; it’s about understanding local rules and rhythms to find what truly fits your needs.

I specialize in three key areas because I see how they intersect with real life: Rental Properties for those seeking stability or investment, Commercial Real Estate for businesses adapting to Lisbon’s evolving economy, and Condominiums where shared ownership requires clear communication. When you work with me, we’ll clarify your priorities first-budget, location quirks, or lease terms-then move step by step. I don’t promise overnight miracles, but I will explain why a property in Seixal might offer better value than central Lisbon for your family, or how condóminio fees impact long-term costs. It’s practical advice, rooted in the ground I cover daily.

You’ll find my approach mirrors Lisbon itself: straightforward, adaptable, and deeply local. Whether you’re a tenant negotiating a arrendamento (lease) or an investor eyeing commercial potential in Almada, I prioritize transparency over hype. I speak Portuguese fluently, which matters when deciphering neighborhood nuances or paperwork that gets lost in translation. My goal isn’t just closing deals-it’s ensuring you feel informed and confident at every turn, because buying or renting here should feel like settling into a place you understand.
