Raquel Meireles

I am Raquel Meireles, a verified real estate agent deeply rooted in Sintra's vibrant communities and the wider Lisbon region. My journey began in 2017 at ERA Rio de Mouro when I was 23, driven by a simple, genuine goal: helping families realize their dreams of finding the right home.

That hasn't changed. I moved to Remax Desafios in 2018, where my dedication to understanding client needs was recognized with specific achievements - earning 1st place in the Sintra Line Ranking for Turnover in the 2nd Quarter of 2019 and 2nd Place for Accumulated Turnover in Sintra that same year.

The pandemic underscored for me that connecting with people and their unique situations is always the priority, leading me to embrace the CENTURY 21 Realty Art M&J project at the end of 2021.

Today, I focus intently on assisting clients specifically with Vacation Homes across Sintra and the broader Lisbon metropolitan area. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the Serra de Sintra, a coastal property near Cascais, or a charming spot within Lisbon's diverse freguesias (parishes), I know these areas intimately.

My approach is built on active listening - understanding whether you seek a personal getaway, a rental investment, or a place to build memories. I navigate the process clearly, explaining steps like escritura (deed signing) in plain language, ensuring you feel informed and confident, whether you're buying your first holiday home or expanding your portfolio.

Helping clients find their ideal vacation property means being present throughout the journey, from the initial search to handing over the keys. I leverage my local knowledge of Sintra's distinct neighborhoods - from the historic charm of Centro Histórico to the stunning views near Cabo da Roca - and understand the nuances of the Lisbon market.

Speaking both Portuguese and English fluently allows me to connect seamlessly with international buyers and local sellers, removing language barriers that often complicate transactions. My priority is matching your vision with the right opportunity in this dynamic region.

FAQ Do you handle both buying and selling for vacation properties? Yes, I support clients on both sides of the transaction specifically for Vacation Homes, whether you're seeking your own escape or selling a property you've cherished.

Can you help if my target area is outside central Sintra? Absolutely. My coverage spans the entire Lisbon district and surroundings, including coastal areas like Costa do Estoril and inland municípios (municipalities) near the capital.

How do you manage viewings for international clients? I coordinate flexible viewings and provide detailed virtual tours alongside clear documentation, making the process accessible regardless of your location.

Real connections are why I started this work at 23, and they remain the heart of how I help families and individuals find their place in Lisbon's captivating landscape.
