Maria Santos

I am Maria Santos, a verified real estate agent with COOLINAS Imobiliária right here in Lisbon. My focus is straightforward: I help clients navigate Lisbon’s property market with clarity and care, especially international buyers, renters, and those exploring Golden Visa opportunities.

Like I say at Coolinas, we contribute to the realization of your real estate business-we partner with you to turn intentions into signed contracts, nothing more, nothing less.

When you’re new to Portugal or seeking arrendamento (Rental Properties) with specific requirements, I prioritize understanding your real needs first-whether it’s a long-term rental in Alfama or a Golden Visa-eligible purchase near Parque das Nações. I handle the local documentation, coordinate viewings across Lisbon’s diverse neighborhoods, and explain processes in plain terms, avoiding jargon.

For International Clients, I bridge cultural gaps by respecting your timeline and communication style while ensuring compliance with Portuguese regulations.

My role isn’t about overselling-it’s about preventing missteps. Lisbon’s market moves fast, so I clarify hidden costs, rental clauses, or Golden Visa eligibility early, so you decide with full context.

Whether you’re relocating for work or investing remotely, I make sure your paperwork aligns with your goals, because "making it happen" means closing deals you feel confident about.

FAQ Do you handle Golden Visa property searches? Yes-I specialize in identifying properties meeting SEF requirements and guide clients through the initial documentation steps.

Can you assist with short-term rentals? I focus on long-term arrendamento contracts under Portuguese law, including standard leases and renewals.

Do you speak English? My working language is Portuguese, and I collaborate with official translators for non-Portuguese speakers during critical stages.
