I am Maria Correia, a verified real estate agent with CENTURY 21 Tipy Family Boulevard, dedicated to helping clients navigate the unique markets of Palmela and Setúbal. While my work spans the broader Lisbon region, these two areas-where vineyard-dotted hills meet coastal charm-hold a special place in my expertise. I focus on three key specializations: Waterfront Properties, where I leverage my knowledge of coastal regulations and local amenities; Historic Properties, guiding buyers through the nuances of preserving architectural heritage while meeting modern needs; and Rental Properties, supporting both landlords and tenants in understanding market trends and securing reliable, well-located agreements.

Clients often tell me they appreciate how I simplify complex transactions. For waterfront homes, I highlight factors like flood zones and maintenance costs, which are critical in coastal towns like Setúbal. When working with historic buildings, I connect buyers to trusted local artisans who specialize in traditional azulejo (tilework) restoration or telhado (roof) repairs-a must for preserving Palmela’s 16th-century villas. For rentals, I prioritize transparency, ensuring tenants understand lease durations and security deposit rules under Portuguese law, while advising landlords on realistic pricing tailored to seasonal demand.

Living in this region for over a decade, I’ve built relationships with municipal offices, contractors, and communities that allow me to act swiftly for my clients. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an investor, or someone relocating, I focus on listening first. For example, a historic home purchase in Palmela might involve balancing preservation incentives with your vision for a terraço (terrace) renovation, while a rental client might need insights into Setúbal’s family-friendly bairros (neighborhoods) near schools and parks.
