I am Márcia Rocha, a verified real estate agent with KW Select in Vila Franca de Xira, a dynamic town north of Lisbon where historic character and modern living intersect. From the moment a client reaches out, my goal is to understand the why behind their search-whether it’s a family-friendly apartment near the Tejo River, a starter home with room to grow, or a strategic investment in Lisbon’s thriving suburbs. My work in Residential Sales and focus on First-Time Buyers means I prioritize active listening, simplifying complex processes, and ensuring every decision aligns with what matters most to you.

Having lived in Vila Franca de Xira for over a decade, I know its hidden gems and emerging opportunities intimately. I help clients compare neighborhoods like Loures, where new residential projects meet green spaces, and Alverca, with its blend of industrial history and revitalized urban hubs. I guide families, professionals, and international buyers to weigh practicalities-proximity to schools, public transport, and local markets-alongside intangibles like community atmosphere and cultural heritage. For international clients, I bridge language and cultural gaps fluently in Português, English, Spanish, and français, collaborating with trusted legal and financial partners to ensure transparency in contracts, financing, and residency requirements.

First-time buyers often ask, “Where do I start?” I break it down step-by-step: clarifying priorities-budget, size, location-and translating those into a curated list of options. I explain financing options from local banks, demystify the Imposto Municipal sobre Transmissões Onerosasas de Imóveis (IMT) tax, and offer honest feedback on property condition and long-term value. My clients appreciate my straightforward approach, whether we’re touring a sunlit T0 in Lisbon’s city center or a spacious villa near the Tagus Natural Reserve. With a deep understanding of Lisbon’s evolving market and a commitment to personalized service, I ensure every client-local or international-feels confident, informed, and supported from initial inquiry to key handover.
