Buyers Agent Service

Portugal Surf Properties acts as your dedicated buyer’s agent across Sagres, Lagos, Luz, Budens, Raposeira, Vila do Bispo, and Aljezur and around. We combine deep local knowledge with international buyer experience—so you get clarity, access, and leverage from day one.

The Benefits

1) Whole-market access (including off-market)

• We co-broker 50/50 with reputable agencies, so you see everything that fits, not just one agent’s listings

• Local relationships surface quiet listings and owners who’d sell at the right price

2) One team on your side 

• Listing agents represent the seller. We represent you—your goals, budget, and risk tolerance—across every property you consider

• Clear conflict-free advice on pricing, condition, and resale/rental potential

3) Price and terms, not just price

• We benchmark against true comparables and current demand, then negotiate total value:
  fixtures, timelines, repairs, furniture, appliances, and contingencies — often worth more than a simple discount

4) Fewer wasted trips

• We pre-screen for build quality, documentation, and location realities (wind, access, sun exposure, noise) so your viewings are worth the trip

5) Due-diligence you won’t get from a portal

• Coordinate independent surveyors and legal checks (title, registration, usage license, boundaries, easements/servitudes)

• For land: verify zoning/buildability (urban vs. rustic), local plan constraints, coastal/nature protections, access and utilities—before you fall in love with a plot

• For homes: confirm energy certificate, condominium rules, rental permissions (incl. Alojamento Local rules where applicable)

6) Smooth process for international buyers

• Introductions to trusted lawyers, mortgage brokers, and notaries

• Step-by-step support through NIF, financing/pre-approval, CPCV (promissory), and deed

• Remote-buyer friendly: video tours, document handling, and key logistics without you on the ground

7) Local knowledge that saves money

• Advice on micro-markets (streets that rent/sell better, wind/swell exposure, winter sun), build standards, running costs, and renovation budgets with vetted contractors.

8) Transparent costs & timelines

• We map your all-in budget (price + taxes/fees + works) and a realistic closing plan, so there are no surprises

9) Typically no extra cost to you

• In most transactions, our fee is covered via a co-broker split with the listing agency. If a different structure applies, we confirm it upfront — no ambiguity

10) Long-term partnership

• Post-purchase support: utilities setup, management and rental strategy, reliable service providers—so the property performs as a home and an investment
