Quero deixar esta recomendação à Maria do Carmo porque a experiência de comprar casa com ela não poderia ter sido melhor. Desde o primeiro momento demonstrou um profissionalismo exemplar, um conhecimento profundo do mercado e uma disponibilidade constante para esclarecer todas as dúvidas. Ao longo de todo o processo senti-me sempre acompanhada, informada e segura nas decisões que estava a tomar. Destaco especialmente a sua paciência, tolerância e, acima de tudo, a ausência total de pressão — algo essencial numa decisão tão importante como a compra de casa. Em nenhum momento senti que estivesse a tentar “vender por vender”. Pelo contrário, ficou claro que o seu objetivo era encontrar a casa certa para a pessoa certa. Valoriza genuinamente a relação que constrói com os clientes e isso nota-se em cada detalhe do acompanhamento. Recomendo a 100%. Muito obrigada, Maria do Carmo, por toda a sua ajuda e profissionalismo!

We worked with Maria do Carmo Silva (remotely from the U.S.) over a span of 7 months with the purchase of a home, and also obtaining a rental for our D7 Visa requirement. She was highly recommended by another American who moved to Portugal. She was/is very diligent, professional, and speaks perfect English (for those who need it). Maria really went above and beyond in her roll as a buyer’s agent, always on top of everything and everyone in the process to make sure we were taken care of. Maria is highly knowledgeable in real estate and also banking. She was aware of our needs, and was very proactive, communicative, and responsive. I have to admit we weren’t her easiest clients, but she was always so understanding, caring, and just a joy to work with! When we finally met in person, it was like we were old friends and like we’d been doing things in person the whole time. We couldn’t imagine getting through this stressful process without her! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you for everything Maria!! Veronica & Bryan

Maria was extremely efficient and knowledgeable assisting us with our real estate transaction. We are American and wanted to purchase a retirement home in Portugal which was a bit intimidating. Maria’s knowledge of the various neighborhoods in and around Porto helped us narrow down our target neighborhood. Her English is great, she is very responsive to inquiries and provided an objective assessment with a detailed appraisal of the property we ended up purchasing. Additionally, she is a great negotiator! Particularly though, I appreciated her honesty throughout the process and that if she was not 100% sure when answering our questions, she would step back to confirm she had the correct information before providing an answer. Without a doubt, we would use her services again!

We found Maria by just stopping in at a Porto Remax office where no one spoke English fluently. The office staff called Maria in and she arrived shortly later. We met and she got to know our desires and propery preferences. We were on vacation from Arizona and literally knew nothing about the real estate purchasing process. Maria has a team of professionals with a fantastic attorney and they both guided us through a successful process to purchase our dream home in Porto. She was willing to take us out up the Douro to look at country properties also, but helped us focus on the city where we ended up. Maria grew up in Porto and knows the neighborhoods in detail. She also knows Lisbon well. We are extremely happy with Maria's expertise and the whole purchasing process could not have gone smoother from initial showings to final closing and obtaining of keys to the castle!

Maria do Carmo Silva is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She works tirelessly to make your exact desired property happen. She was incredible for me and my family and we would not be in our dream home in Porto without her.
