Selling a home means making decisions about price, preparation, offers and what comes next. I bring substantial listing experience, an understanding of international buyers and practical local knowledge to help you present your property well and make informed decisions from our first conversation through completion.

Discuss selling my property
A strong selling plan needs to reflect both the home and the people considering it. These are the five strengths I bring to that work.
I have helped over 1,000 families in more than 13 years as a licensed Realtor, with substantial experience representing sellers in San Francisco, one of the most expensive markets in the US. I bring that background to pricing, preparation, presentation and negotiation here, adapting the approach to your property and the Portuguese market.
International buyers considering a purchase in Portugal often arrive with expectations formed in a different real estate system. I understand the questions they are likely to ask about the property, paperwork and buying process. Clear explanations help buyers assess the home and help sellers address uncertainty before it becomes an obstacle.
My longstanding network includes roughly 15,000 contacts, including people in the United States and real estate agents who can introduce clients. American’s Guide to Portugal reaches people researching a move and a home here. These channels add to a property’s marketing plan; we choose how to use them based on the home and its likely buyers.
Through the Guide and Market Intelligence, I explain the practical realities of moving, buying and owning property in Portugal. I bring that same approach to selling: we discuss the evidence, the options and the reasons behind the strategy, so you can make informed decisions about preparation, pricing and offers.
I have moved countries and established a home in Portugal myself. I understand how much a property decision can involve: family, finances, timing and the next stage of your life. We build the selling plan with those priorities in view, whether you are moving across town, returning home or starting somewhere new.
We review the property’s location, condition and distinctive features alongside available comparable evidence and competing listings. I explain the reasoning behind the asking price and the tradeoffs involved, so we can agree on a strategy with a clear basis.
We decide which repairs and presentation improvements deserve attention, and which may be better left to the next owner. We also identify documents and questions to resolve before launch, bringing in qualified professionals where needed.
We develop a photography and marketing plan that shows the property clearly and explains the life it offers. The audience shapes the message: local buyers, international buyers and agents introducing clients may need different information to take the next step.
I coordinate enquiries and viewings, share feedback and help you assess offers in full. Price, financing, conditions and timing all matter. We discuss the options before you decide how to respond.
Once terms are agreed, I coordinate communication and practical deadlines through completion. Your lawyer advises on the contracts and legal questions, and your tax adviser confirms the implications of the sale.
I work with clients in Lisbon, Cascais, Oeiras, Setúbal, Azeitão, Sesimbra and surrounding areas.
If your plans take you farther afield, we can discuss whether I can help directly or introduce a colleague who knows that market.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We consider the property’s location, condition and features alongside available market evidence and competing homes. I explain what the evidence supports, where it has limitations and how different pricing choices may affect the sale. We agree on the strategy together.
Not automatically. We review the property and discuss which repairs or presentation improvements may help buyers understand its value. Some work deserves professional assessment; some may be better left to the next owner. The recommendation should make sense for your budget and timing.
Yes. We can begin remotely and agree on access, local preparation and regular communication. Your lawyer should advise on any arrangements needed to sign documents from abroad.
No. We develop the marketing around the property and its likely buyers. My American network and AGTP audience add routes to international interest, while the selling plan also considers local buyers and agents with suitable clients.
That is a useful time to speak. We can discuss the property, your plans and any preparation or questions to resolve before you choose a launch date.
We discuss the proposed services, marketing plan, responsibilities and fees before you decide to work with me. You should understand what is included and the terms of the engagement before committing.
Tell me where it is, what you are considering and the timing you have in mind. We can discuss its market position, the preparation it may need and whether I am the right person to help with your sale.
