Diversifying Through
Diversifying into Portugal means more than acquiring property. You’re spreading risk across geographies, currencies, and economic environments — while gaining access to the unique lifestyle, stability, and legal protections of Europe. Here, your investment isn’t just a line on a portfolio. It’s a home you can visit. A base for European travel. A lifestyle asset that brings value both financially and personally.
Strategic. Independent. Designed for You.
Looking to diversify your
portfolio with European assets?
Portugal offers one of the most attractive landscapes for international investors — combining stability, favorable tax regimes, and high lifestyle value. At Brint, we help you seize those opportunities safely and intelligently through our proprietary EBA360™ – Brint Signature Framework.

We asked him to share his experience as a seasoned real estate investor in the US, buying in Portugal. Here is his testimonial:
This is an informal video created primarily for our clients that are starting the real estate process with us. We need our clients to better understand the Portuguese market dynamics; however, we realized that are many others that plan to work with a buyer’s agent in the near future and needed to get this information as well.

As an exclusive buyer’s agent (EBA – a concept well known all around the world), we only work for the buyer. Traditional real estate agents in Portugal, although great in what they do, are double agents, meaning they work for both, the seller and the buyer; therefore, they will always try to be faithful to the property’s owner. Also, bank loan assistance and legal protection are handled by a third party, usually recommended by them.
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. A contract gives us the ability to start representing you in Portugal.
Nationwide Reach: Algarve (Albufeira / Vilamoura, Portimão, Golden Triangle,
Lagos, etc), Lisbon, Silver Coast, Porto, Madeira & Azores.
“you completely filtered all the stress for us!” – Nikhil and Malika
In Portugal, most real estate agents still represent both the buyer and the seller — that’s the industry norm. And even among those who claim to be buyer’s agents, very few offer the dedicated, one-stop service you receive when working with a true Portugal Buyer’s Agent.
At Brint, we’re not just here to help you buy a property —
We’re here to guide you through a life-changing decision with strategy, protection, and genuine care.
Unlike many corporate agencies focused solely on numbers, we bring a balanced approach:
Many of us have lived abroad, purchased remotely, and felt the same uncertainty you may be facing now.
We don’t just understand the process — we understand you.

If you are thinking about buying residential property in Portugal for relocation, for retirement, as a vacation property, or as an investment opportunity, BRINT can serve as your exclusive Portugal buyer’s agent. With years of combined experience in the Portuguese real estate market, we can help you find the best properties, navigate the negotiation process, and help you get the best price possible.
We specialize in finding the best potential properties, gathering all the essential information you need about the surrounding neighborhood and schools, arranging for property inspections, and even negotiating with the seller as your representative so you can get the lowest price.
When people from the US, the UK, Canada and elsewhere buy property in Portugal, they quickly realize that the process can be a lot different than it is in their home country. Negotiating a real estate purchase where you live is hard enough, but when the property is hundreds or even thousands of miles away in a foreign country where you may not even speak the language, it can be next to impossible without somebody right there on the ground looking out for your best interests.
The Portuguese home buying process can be extremely stressful and time-consuming. While it may be tempting to rely on the listing agent when inquiring about a seemingly perfect house online, it’s important to remember that the listing agent is acting on the seller’s behalf, not yours. Instead, you need to rely on BRINT Portugal to be your local advocate.
At BRINT Portugal, we have one job: Getting you the best property at the lowest possible price.
The duties of a traditional real estate agent in Portugal are the same as anywhere: Listing, showing, and ultimately selling property at the highest possible price on the behalf of its owner. After all, when the sale price is higher, so is the commission received by the realtor. BRINT Portugal acts as your representative, making sure you get the best property at the best value.
It is nothing new that real estate agents worldwide work for the seller of the property and are encouraged to reach the highest price for their clients.
It works the same in Portugal: Traditional brokers are paid directly by the seller and are therefore motivated to sell properties for the best price so they can get the highest possible commission. But in the Portuguese real estate market, it gets even more complex and dynamic. Because of the language barrier and the foreign buyer’s lack of local market knowledge, it is essential to have somebody right there providing impartial advice without a conflict of interest.
If something goes wrong before the closing, the seller’s broker may protect the sale even if it is not in your best interests as a buyer.
For example, let’s say the appraisal comes in lower than the sales price. In this instance, the seller’s broker has a huge conflict of interest: To make the highest sales commission, it’s in their best interest to protect the sale at the higher price!
We will ensure you will have the latest market intelligence data to make an informed decision.
Many of our agents are also ex-pats themselves, so they know what it’s like to buy a property in Portugal
as a foreigner.
