Buying Real Estate in Portugal: Building Your Team

[@katdodd5801]

I firmly believe in having buyer agent representation.

Thanks for watching @katdodd5801 and we agree that having a buyer’s agent is ideal.

Hi I wanted to ask you about the end of your videos. This one says watch this next video which would mean that you had a second video already ready for posting when you finish this one? Do you create multiple videos and then publish them all at once? 😳

[@TheUnretirees]

Thanks for watching @RoSelvey ! Actually, when we say “watch this video” at the end, it’s a video that we had already published. We currently do our videos one at a time :)

@@TheUnretireesohhhhhhhhhhh. Gosh!! That makes more sense! lol :)))

[@Lighthouseconsulting_raquel]

That's great to know, that someone like me, lawyer and buyers agent is sought after...

[@TheUnretirees]

Thanks for watching @kellygarcia928. Good lawyers and good agents are always in demand!!

"A site were you can see the recently closed transactions, the history, etc, it just doesn't exist" - actually something like that sort of exists, but it is accessed only by the realtors themselves. About a year ago I was visiting a property with a realtor and I asked her what sort of price she thought that apartment could be rented for. She answered that she was going to check the history of the rentals in that area in the last few months. 'How can you do that?' - I asked. 'Oh, we professionals have access to site X" that has all that data'. I asked her the name of the site and later investigated it a bit. It did have data that is not available for the layman (I think you have to pay a monthly fee). I'm ashamed to confess that I'm so dumb I didn't write down the name fo the site, and now I forgot the name... But if you ask a realtor they'll be able to tell you. Please tell me if you find out.

Thanks for watching @UbuTube! Maybe there is hope that something like Zillow will eventually make it to Portugal!

Could l get mortgage loan over age 60?

[@TheUnretirees]

You can. It just wouldn’t be a 30-year loan. Depending on the bank, the loan needs to be fully paid off by the time you are 75 or 80, so it could be a 15 or 20 year loan in your case. I hope that helps!

Hello, thanks for the information. Would you be able to share with us the contact information for your mortgage broker?

[@TheUnretirees]

Thanks for watching @ms-tq6ug! Drop us an email at [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@MindfulMidLifeTravel]

Great information, well done. Would love to have seen a little more of how you narrowed down the area of where to buy your home & maybe some of the town or home views.

[@TheUnretirees]

Thanks for watching @mindfulmidlifetravel and, for us, we were looking for a town on the coast, not too big but accessible within a short drive to a city, and someplace with mild temperatures. We decided on Nazaré and for us feel like it was a great choice. Where would you move to?
