How a deal goes with me
Six steps, one person. You always know where things stand.
Step 01
A conversation and a valuation
We look at the property, the market and what you need. The commission is agreed in writing before anything starts.
“He understands your requirements well.”
— Erman Melikyan Step 02
Professional photographs
Every property is photographed by a professional I have worked with for years.
“About 12 years of partnership… always transparency and honesty.”
— Fernanda Antim Step 03
Advertising and visits
The property goes out, and I accompany every visit. I also share deals with other agents when that helps.
“Always available and attentive to every detail.”
— Pedro Castro Step 04
Negotiation
I handle questions and offers between both sides, calmly and in the open.
“He handles queries and feedback between parties expertly.”
— Erman Melikyan Step 05
Paperwork and deed
Documents, bank, certificates and the deed. You get every detail in time, even if you live far away.
“All the bureaucracy seemed simple… even though I was far away.”
— Felícia Godinho Step 06
After the keys
The deal ends, the contact doesn't. Many clients still call me years later.
“Even today we remain in contact.”
— Paul Hollanders
Olivais, Lisbon
One consultant, from start to finish
I am Álvaro Castela, an independent real estate consultant working from Rua Cidade da Beira, in Olivais. I sell, buy and rent homes and commercial spaces in Lisbon and the surrounding area, and I do it alone: the person you meet at the first visit is the person at the deed.
My clients use the same words again and again: seriousness, transparency, calm. I answer every one of their reviews myself, because for me a deal is a relationship that goes on after the keys change hands.

SaleThroughout the sale of my property, Álvaro was uniquely and unusually professional. His commitment and dedication are excellent! All the bureaucracy seemed simple to me, thanks to his work. He shared every detail of the sale in good time, even though I was far away. Excellent communication!

RentalThanks to Mr. Castela we were able to secure our apartment, and the whole experience was excellent. He was extremely friendly, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. The follow-up has been impeccable, and he has always been quick to respond whenever we had questions. Even today we remain in contact and he continues to be very helpful.
His reply
Thank you very much for your kind words. You are the best tenants a landlord could wish for. I am, as always, at your disposal.

SaleExcellent and fast work (we sold our house in practically two months), and Mr Álvaro is without doubt an excellent person who becomes practically family. We are very grateful for his efficiency and speed.
His reply

PurchaseÁlvaro gave me excellent help when I bought a property this year. He was well informed on the legal questions, knows the property market, proactive with suggestions, serious, friendly, and with manners that are hard to find, particularly in this business.
His reply
Thank you very much, Pedro. A big hug.

Shop rentalIn the difficult search for a shop that met our needs, Mr Álvaro Castela was exceptionally quick and available. It is largely thanks to him that we now have a space that is what we were looking for and, given current prices, within the budget we had.
His reply
It was a pleasure to mediate the rental of your new shop, which could not have found better tenants. I wish you every success and happiness.

Erman Melikyan
PurchaseMr Alvaro Castela is a highly professional, kind and helpful person. He understands your requirements well and makes every effort to accommodate these from start to finish. His superb command of English is certainly unusual in this context too. He is a rare example of property consultant that you continue to stay in touch as friends even after the transaction is done.
His reply
I am very proud and grateful for your evaluation of my work. This business took place with the greatest smoothness and transparency. I wish you all the best in your new apartment.
