Manuel Silva

I am Manuel Silva, a verified real estate agent with iad Portugal, serving clients across Braga and Viana do Castelo-regions I know intimately and navigate with genuine ease. While my focus is Northern Portugal, I help buyers and sellers find clarity in a complex market, whether you’re searching for your first home, a Golden Visa investment property, or a quinta (rural estate) retreat.

My independence means I prioritize your needs over office politics, offering flexible scheduling and transparent communication from day one.

If you’re hunting for property but haven’t found the one, I’ll tap into my deep local knowledge and iad’s network to uncover options beyond standard listings-then join you on personalized visits to experience spaces firsthand. For First-Time Buyers, I demystify paperwork and financing without jargon, while Golden Visa clients get precise guidance on eligible properties and residency pathways.

Sellers benefit from my free valuation service and global reach: I list your home on 200+ international portals at no extra cost, maximizing visibility while negotiating fair pricing.

Working without physical offices lets me meet you where you’re comfortable-be it a coffee in Braga or a video call from Lisbon-ensuring professionalism without rigid bureaucracy. I tailor every step, from initial search to closing, because your home journey deserves undivided attention.

As an independent consultant, I also negotiate flexible commission structures, so you get dedicated support at a fair value.

FAQ How involved are you in Golden Visa property searches?

I handle all due diligence

verifying legal eligibility, connecting you with immigration specialists, and shortlisting properties that meet SEF criteria-no extra fees.

Can you help find Rural Properties if I’m not local? Absolutely. I scout quintas and countryside homes remotely via detailed videos and virtual tours, then arrange hands-on visits once you’re ready.

Do you adjust commissions for first-time buyers? Yes. As an independent agent, I discuss transparent pricing upfront and adjust fees based on your specific needs and budget.

I’m here to turn your property goals into reality, with the patience and local insight Northern Portugal deserves. Contact me-I’ll listen first, then act.
