Initial Consultation

Thanks for considering Brint!  Before submitting your form, please kindly pay attention to these important points so we can better assist you:

Due to high demand, Visa coordination and assistance is only available for clients interested in the relocation package know as transition roadmap.

Concierge Services and Property Management is only available to EBA clients (Real Estate Package);

3. At the moment Golden Visas are frozen.

There are no location restrictions for D7 Visa holders. We can assist you with the visa dossier, sworn translations, deocuments coordeination, visa scheduling, and coordinate the entire process of your transition to Portugal. With our transition roadmap package we can assist you in not only finding your dream home, and lead you through the visa process, but we can also help you to adapt here by connecting utiltities, helping with insurances, buying and registering a car, changing your driver’s license, etc.

D7 Visa is recommended for clients that want to live in Portugal and have a passive income (pensions, rental, business or remote work).

We are not offering rental assistance at this moment. The embassy accepts a CPCV Agreement (Promissory Contract) instead of the rental agreement for the D7 Visa Process.

In March 2023 the government decided not to issue short term licenses for apartments (except in the islands); therefore, we are still helping clients with property management in independent houses nationwide.

With economical and political instability, distributing your eggs in many baskets is a wise thing to do. If you want to bring part of your real estate portfolio to Portugal, book a consultation in the form on the right.

Below we will share a few details about our services to help you choose the right package for you when submitting the form.

Click in the image above to enlarge it. Brint is an exclusive buyer’s agency (EBA  –  a well-known concept worldwide).

We only work for the buyer. Although excellent in what they do, traditional agents are double agents, meaning they work for both the seller and the buyer; therefore, they will always try to get the best deal for the property’s owner. Also, they are not involved in or coordinate the bank loan assistance and legal protection, they usually recommend a third party, but you have to deal with multiple people, instead of having us dealing with them for you.

In Portugal, it is standard that commissions are paid by the property owner to both agents involved. In our share, we work hard to make sure you will find a one-stop agency, where we negotiate the lowest price,  best bank rates, terms, and conditions while taking care of the property’s document evaluation and legal protection, with the CPCV (promissory contract) contingencies. An agreement gives us the ability to start representing you in Portugal.

1. Property Inspection: A detailed report with pictures will be provided (included up to 1000 €);
2. Appraisal evaluation (included up to 250 Euros);

14. If you can come, we take you for lunch, acting like a prime private “tour guide” with a real estate perspective. We show you the best areas to invest in your chosen region. This is a PREMIER service where we spend 2 full days together with you visiting properties and taking you to see the best local restaurants, places to visit, etc.;
15. When you choose the property, we perform price research before making an offer (comps);
16. We make a verbal proposal, and once it is accepted, you sign the written one;
17. Tough Negotiation;
18. Credit Broker: We prepare a dossier with all the information needed and send it to multiple banks to find the best deal for you and negotiate with multiple banks;
19. Once you are pre-approved, the CPCV (Contract Promising to Buy and Sell) is prepared. We protect you with many clauses that are not standard on a regular CPCV document, intending to secure your down payment and ensure you have the best deal. The purchase is contingent on house inspection without structural problems and appraisal meeting the asking price;
20. If you are not in Portugal, you will be requested to sign a power of attorney, so we can sign the CPCV on your behalf;
21. Additionally, you need to transfer funds from your PT bank account to the property owner’s account (usually 10%); In Portugal, there are no escrow accounts, making legal protection extremely important.
