Diogo Sousa E Melo

I am Diogo Sousa E Melo, a verified real estate agent with RE/MAX Prestige right here in Lisbon. My focus is grounded in the realities of this city’s property market, especially helping clients navigate Commercial Real Estate opportunities and find the right Condominiums for their needs.

You’ll often hear me talk about Lisbon’s energy and potential - it’s why I created my resource, easymovingtoportugal.com, reflecting my commitment to making the process clearer, especially for those new to Portugal’s systems. I believe understanding the local context, from neighborhood freguesias (parishes) to zoning rules, is non-negotiable for a smooth transaction.

Whether you’re looking to invest in a Lisbon storefront, secure a prime office space, or settle into a residential condominium, I prioritize practical guidance over promises. Lisbon’s market moves fast, and my role is to cut through the noise - explaining escrituras (deed signings) timelines clearly, clarifying fiscal numbers requirements, or simply walking you through the distinct character of areas like Príncipe Real versus Marvila for condo living.

My fluency in both Portuguese and English ensures there are no lost-in-translation moments during viewings or negotiations.

My approach is straightforward

match your goals to Lisbon’s actual opportunities. For commercial clients, that means understanding your business needs to find spaces with the right foot traffic or logistics. For condo buyers, it’s about balancing your wishlist - think elevador (elevator) access, varanda (balcony) size, or proximity to metro stations - with realistic budget and availability across Lisbon’s diverse bairros (neighborhoods). I don’t speculate; I work with what’s tangible on the ground today.

FAQ What Lisbon neighborhoods offer the best value for condos right now? It depends entirely on your priorities - budget, commute, or lifestyle. Areas like Alvalade offer modern condos near transit, while historic centers like Mouraria provide character at potentially lower entry points; I’ll map options to your specific criteria. Can you help navigate commercial zoning for a café startup? Absolutely.

Lisbon has specific zonamento (zoning) rules per area. I’ll clarify where food service is permitted, highlight spaces with necessary infrastructure, and connect you with local insights to avoid costly mismatches.

Knowing Lisbon’s streets and its property rhythms - that’s the real foundation for helping you move forward confidently.
