Investing in Portugal?

We are Property Buyer's Agents

Providing bespoke service and support throughout the process of buying or renting property in Portugal, with the broadest access to the entire market.

At no real cost to the buyer

In most cases, the price reduction we are able to negotiate (9% on average) is substantially bigger than the commission we charge. This means that clients can benefit from the services of a buyer’s agent at no additional cost.

Buyer's agents are legally bound to help buyers

Whereas listing agents — the real estate agent representing the property listing — have a fiduciary duty to the property seller.

That’s why it’s in your best interest as a buyer to get an agent who is there to represent you.

Our team and our expertise can help you achieve your goal. Here are some of the reasons why it’s a smart decision to work with a buyer’s agent.

Buyer’s Agents

We provide valuable insights

As buyer’s agents with experience in the local market, we can provide valuable insights into the cultural and legal nuances of the buying/renting process, as well as help clients navigate any language barriers that may exist.

We give you a broader choice

Listing agents have no interest in present you properties that aren’t listings of their own (there isn’t a multi-listing system allowing for deal sharing like in the US). Also the for sale/rent by owner market share is considerable, accounting for more than one third of the market. As buyer’s agents we give you unlimited access to property, whether it’s on- or off-market.

We save you time

Searching for the perfect home in a foreign country can be time-consuming and overwhelming, especially for buyers/renters who are not familiar with the local market. As buyer’s agents, we can save you time by doing the legwork for you, screening properties, and setting up viewings.

We help you navigate legal and financial issues

Buying/renting property in a foreign country can involve complex legal and financial issues, such as taxes, title searches, and financing. As buyer’s agents, we help clients navigate legal and financial issues and ensure that all necessary paperwork and legal requirements are met.

Who’s Crea

CREA - Carlos Risso, Buyer’s Agent for buying or renting property in Portugal

Driven by emotions and the will to create a better world

Carlos Risso founded Crea based on his ability to correctly interpret the real estate market and combine his international experience with a deep knowledge of Portugal.

“I am fully aware that it is recommendations that bring us long-term clients. That is why the satisfaction of current customers is our first priority. I would never make a deal regarding a house that I would not consider purchasing, myself.”
— Carlos Risso

Crea has developed partnerships over many years with a number of complementary entities that will play a key role in each client’s project, helping to navigate the bureaucracy and the procedural and legal issues of our country.
Besides our partnerships with law firms, we have, as an example, technical partners that validate the real value of a property, with technical analysis and reports. This is of great value to the buyer.

 

We live up to a strong set of principles that we have embraced since the founding of our practice.

At Crea we pledge that we shall give 5% of our annual revenue up to €1M (10% over that threshold) to organizations dedicated to improving the lives of others, as recommended by thelifeyoucansave.org

We urge you to read Peter Singer's book and hopefully change your perspective about giving.
