Listing is easy. Positioning is rare. We accompany owners who want to sell well — without noise, without haste, without losing control of the narrative.
Selling a house is not a transaction. It is the translation of a phase of life into market value. For that to happen with integrity, the work begins long before the listing: in the reading of the property, of the moment, and of who the right buyer is. That is where our accompaniment begins.
CasaPlace historical data.
A technical and qualitative visit. We understand the property, the context and your real urgency.
Styling, photography, film, narrative. The property reaches the market already finished.
A grounded market study and a strategy for price, channel and exposure time.
Discreet negotiation, legal coordination and presence until after the deed.
Every sale hides a story: an inheritance, a move, a divorce, a patrimonial decision, a return to Portugal. Before we talk about price, we understand what is at stake for you and for your family.
That conversation defines everything else — the right timing, the level of exposure, the kind of buyer that makes sense, and what we decide not to do.
We work on the house before it is seen. Small styling adjustments, considered lighting, photography at the right hours, a short film and a narrative written by hand. A presentation that respects the house instead of disguising it.
The practical result: fewer viewings, better viewings, offers closer to real value — and less wear on you.
We cross market data (comparable transactions, absorption, average time on market) with a qualitative reading of the property (orientation, layout, materials, context). The final number is defensible before a demanding buyer — and before you.
When it makes sense, we suggest a private sale before any public exposure. See Discretion and private sales.
We decide with you where, how and when to expose. A private network of qualified buyers first; selected public channels afterwards — when, and if, it makes sense. Discretion is a decision, not a failure.
Rigorous filtering of buyers, full management of viewings, technical and emotional negotiation, coordination with lawyers, banks and the notary. Accompaniment until after the deed — including the life transition that usually follows.
If you are selling in order to buy, also read Sell to buy. If you are considering exchanging your home rather than selling it, see Property exchange.
Market value is not guessed, and it does not come out of an online simulator: it is the result of a market study built on real comparable transactions, active supply and demand in the area. Be wary of numbers presented merely to please — an inflated asking price at the outset is one of the most common ways to lose both money and time in a sale.
On average, the properties we accompany sell around four times faster than the market average. It is not luck: it is the result of the right price from day one, careful preparation and exposure well above the usual — professional photography and film, advertising directed at the right buyer, and formats such as the Open House. In the sale of a home there is only one chance to make a good first impression, and that is where everything is decided.
Through a rigorous market study: comparative analysis of real transactions, active supply and demand in the area. The price is neither an opinion nor a number chosen to please — it is a strategic decision, taken together with the owner, grounded in data.
You can — the law does not prevent it. The difference lies in the outcome: buyer qualification, professional negotiation, documentary security and a level of market exposure that a private seller can rarely replicate. Our role is to ensure the sale happens on the best possible terms — of price, of timing and of security.
It is the model in which a single advisor takes full responsibility for the sale. It is what allows us to invest seriously in every property — professional production, dedicated advertising, Open House events — because there is a mutual commitment: the owner entrusts us with the sale, and we answer with results.
Yes — it is one of the most decisive factors in the success of a sale, which is why home staging advice is included in our service. We analyse the property through the eyes of the target buyer and define what to change: corrections, depersonalisation, light, the arrangement of spaces. A well-prepared house completely changes the way the market receives it — and that is reflected in the offers.
It is an event in which the property is presented to qualified buyers in a setting prepared down to the last detail — closer to an opening night than to a traditional viewing. More than half of our sales happen through these formats, because they concentrate demand and create the right conditions for serious decisions.
Yes. A significant part of our work is private sales, through a restricted network of qualified buyers and other premium advisors in Portugal — no online listings, no sign, no noise.
The earlier the better. Ideally before any public decision. A first conversation is free and confidential, and it often helps clarify whether selling really is the right step now.
Among the main ones: the property tax record (caderneta predial), the land registry certificate, the use licence (or proof of exemption, for properties built before 1951), the energy certificate, the housing technical datasheet (for properties built after 2004), floor plans, the owners' identification documents and tax numbers, a condominium statement confirming charges are up to date and, where there is a mortgage, the discharge deed at completion. In inheritance cases, the deed of qualification of heirs is also required. CasaPlace verifies and organises all the documentation so the process moves forward without surprises.
Yes, it is perfectly common. The loan is settled at the moment of the deed with the sale proceeds, through the discharge issued by the bank. We handle the coordination with the bank so that everything happens on the same day, without complications.
A sale may generate capital gains subject to income tax — as a rule, half of the gain is added to taxable income, with a possible exemption where the proceeds are reinvested in a permanent primary residence. Every situation is different, and this is precisely the kind of matter we analyse before a house reaches the market, so there are no surprises after the deed.
Before the sale, the qualification of heirs and the registration of the property in all their names are required. Where there are several heirs, alignment between the parties matters as much as the process itself — and that is where close accompaniment makes the difference, from the documentation to the pricing decision.
Yes. We accompany owners from the north to the south of mainland Portugal and in the islands, working with local partners where it makes sense.
