Paula Simões Mendes

I am Paula Simões Mendes, a verified real estate agent with KW Select Cascais, where I’ve served clients for over 16 years. Cascais is my home-I grew up here, raised my family here, and know its neighborhoods, culture, and coastline intimately.

My journey began because of my love for connecting with people, and I’ve stayed because of the trust clients place in my ability to guide them through one of life’s most meaningful decisions. Whether you’re selling a cherished property or searching for a dream home, I treat every transaction as a partnership rooted in respect and shared goals.

Cascais’ unique blend of marina lifestyle and historic charm shapes the specialties I focus on. I help buyers find Waterfront Properties that balance luxury with practicality, from cliffside villas to chic apartments with ocean views.

For investors, I prioritize long-term value, identifying opportunities in Cascais’ stable market that align with both financial objectives and lifestyle aspirations. Since I’ve worked with clients from 20+ countries, I’m fluent in navigating the nuances of cross-border transactions, ensuring clarity in both Portuguese and English.

What clients often say surprises them is how deeply I listen before acting. Real estate here isn’t just about square meters or price tags-it’s about understanding what makes a home or investment feel certo (“right” in Portuguese) for their story.

I’m not just listing properties; I’m helping families grow, retirees transition, and global buyers connect to Lisbon’s thriving coastal energy.

FAQ Why Cascais for waterfront properties? The coastline here is diverse-hidden coves, bustling marinas, and peaceful fishing villages coexist. My lifelong ties let me guide you to the best fit for your priorities.

How do you approach Investment Properties differently? I focus on your end goal, whether it’s rental income, resale potential, or personal use. Local trends and legal frameworks are non-negotiable for smart decisions.

What makes working with International Clients unique? I’ve learned that trust bridges time zones. I adjust communication styles, document processes in both languages, and connect clients to reliable networks beyond real estate, like tax advisors or movers.

Are we going to work together? I hope the answer feels as clear and personal as the relationships I’ve built since 2007-when I started, just like you, with a question.
