If you're staying in Portugal 3+ years, buying often makes more financial sense than renting. Mortgage payments build equity.

You don't pay us directly. When you successfully purchase a property through our network, we receive a referral fee from the realtor (typically 0.5-1% of purchase price). This comes out of the realtor's standard commission - it does NOT increase the property price.
In Portugal, realtors are almost always paid by the seller (not buyer), so you pay the same €350k whether you use our service or not.
These are third-party services we coordinate. Fees are paid directly to providers, not us.
We only succeed when you succeed. Our referral fee model aligns our interests with yours - we want you to find the perfect property at the best price. We have no incentive to push expensive properties or rush your decision.

Rule of thumb: If you're staying 3+ years, buying often makes more sense financially. If under 2 years or unsure, rent first. Buying builds equity and property values have appreciated 40-60% in Lisbon/Porto over past 5 years. We can help you run the numbers for your specific situation.

You keep ownership forever - no restrictions. You can sell it, rent it long-term, or use it as a vacation home.
