About Find Your Home in Portugal
Your Buyer's Agent in Portugal, with a lawyer's eye for detail I'm Petra Van de Velde, a Belgian-born former international transaction lawyer and hands-on property investor, based in Cascais and working across the Lisbon Coast and greater Portugal. Since 2017, I've specialized in one thing: helping expats, investors, and international buyers find and purchase their ideal property in Portugal, safely, smartly, and on their terms.
Why expats and international buyers work with me:
• Dedicated buyer's agent, not sales pressure. I represent you — not the seller — through every step of the Portuguese property market: property search, viewings, due diligence, negotiation, and closing.
• A legal background you can lean on. Years as an international transaction lawyer mean I catch the contractual and regulatory details that matter before they become problems which is essential when buying property in Portugal as a foreigner.
• Investor instincts. I've bought and managed properties myself, so I know what makes a real estate investment - or a red flag - from the inside.
• A trusted local network. Real estate lawyers, mortgage brokers, surveyors, architects, designers, emigration consultants - I connect you to vetted professionals across Lisbon, Cascais, and the wider Portuguese market.
• Straightforward, transparent guidance. No jargon, no surprises, just clear, expert advice in your language so you can make confident property decisions in Portugal.
Whether you're relocating to Portugal, searching for your dream home, or exploring smart real estate investment opportunities, I'll guide you through the entire Portuguese property buying process, from first search to signed deed.

Initial review
Service: Buyer-side real estate advisory, property search, negotiation, closing support in Portugal
Petra helped us navigate buying a property outside Lisbon as our buyer's advisor, from identifying good options to handling the bureaucracy and putting us in contact with very qualified mortgage brokers, tax advisors, and legal advisors. She was very quick to understand what we were looking for, what fit our budget, and she also helped us negotiate a very good deal with the seller. It was a long process, about four months, and instead of pushing for the quickest deal, she held the line with us and stayed extremely proactive all the way through closing. I have worked with many real estate agents, but no one has been so focused on what we were after, and we are incredibly happy with the work she has done.
