I am José Marques, a verified real estate agent with Predimed, working across Moita, Lisbon, Loures, Setúbal, and Sesimbra. With over a decade of experience in Portugal’s dynamic property market, I focus on making real estate transactions smooth for international clients. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, I bridge language and cultural gaps to ensure clarity and trust. My expertise lies in Golden Visa Properties, helping investors secure residency through real estate, but I also support a range of other client needs, from securing a NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal, or Portuguese tax ID) to navigating local financing options.

Buying property in Portugal can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the system. I walk clients through every step, from identifying homes or investment opportunities in our coverage areas to finalizing contracts. Whether you’re seeking a historic apartment in Lisbon or a seaside villa in Sesimbra, I provide transparent guidance on legal processes, pricing, and regional nuances. My clients often say they appreciate how I break down complex procedures without jargon, ensuring they feel confident in their decisions.

Tax requirements and residency applications are critical parts of settling here. If you need help getting your NIF, I streamline the process, connecting you with trusted advisors to avoid delays. For Golden Visa applicants, I focus on properties that meet government criteria while aligning with your investment goals. This includes verifying eligibility, coordinating inspections, and liaising with authorities to keep timelines on track.

Financing is another common hurdle, particularly for non-residents. I collaborate with local banks and mortgage specialists to explain options tailored to your situation. Whether it’s traditional loans or structuring purchases through companies, I demystify requirements like down payments, interest rates, and documentation. My goal is to make financing accessible, not a barrier.
