José Silva Neves

I am José Silva Neves, a verified real estate agent with RE/MAX Prestige in Lisbon. Since 2002 working in the real estate sector, the experience gained allows me to put all my knowledge at your disposal in order to perform competent, ethical, and responsible work in the acompanhamento (personalized client monitoring) of both buyers and sellers.

I focus on understanding your unique goals-whether you’re seeking a historic alfama apartment, a modern loft, or a long-term rental-so I can guide you clearly through every step without pressure.

My approach centers on three key areas I specialize in

Luxury Properties, where I navigate high-end transactions with discretion; First-Time Buyers, helping newcomers avoid pitfalls with transparent advice on financing and impostos (taxes); and Rental Properties, matching tenants with quality homes while ensuring landlords’ investments are protected. I handle everything from initial viewings to final escritura (deed signing), always prioritizing your timeline and comfort. Being fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish means I can communicate smoothly with international clients and local vendors alike, cutting through language barriers that often complicate Lisbon’s competitive market.

Working across all Lisbon neighborhoods-from Chiado to Belém and emerging areas like Marvila-I help clients see beyond listings to the true potential of a space. For buyers, I clarify hidden costs like IMI (property tax) or fundo de reserva (maintenance fees).

For sellers, I advise on realistic pricing in today’s shifting market, avoiding overpromises. My goal is simple: equip you with honest insights so you make confident decisions, whether you’re investing, relocating, or finding your first home.

FAQ How long does selling a property typically take in Lisbon? Timelines vary widely-it depends on pricing accuracy, documentation readiness, and market demand. I’ll give you a realistic estimate after assessing your specific situation. Do you assist with legal paperwork? While I coordinate closely with trusted lawyers and notaries, I don’t replace their expertise.

I ensure you understand each document’s purpose and connect you with reliable professionals.
