Buyer representation
We set the criteria with you, search both the open market and what is never advertised, verify, negotiate and stay with the file through to the deed.

The costliest error
Those who buy well rarely buy quickly
Most of what is lost in prime property is not lost on price. It is lost earlier: in the flat viewed without knowing what to ask, in the land registry certificate nobody read to the end, in the refurbishment budget that trebled after completion, in the area that looked right and was not.
The international buyer enters a market where all the available information comes from people who earn commission on the sale. This is not bad faith — it is structure. The seller's agent works for the seller. That is their duty.
The question that remains is a simple one: who works for you.
The Rhamos method
One file. Three jurisdictions. One point of contact.
01
Buyer's mandate
We work under a mandate from the buyer, not the seller. Our fee is agreed before the first viewing and does not depend on which property is chosen.
02
Verification before presentation
No property is presented without a verified land registry certificate, tax register entry, use permit and energy certificate. What does not pass never reaches your desk.
03
Continuity across countries
The same team handles a purchase in Lisbon, a sale in Madrid and an off-plan reservation in Dubai. One file, not three separate processes.
Buying in Lisbon and selling in Marbella are different operations under different rules. What does not change is who answers the telephone.
What we do
Four mandates, without overlap
Discreet sale
A sale with no public listing, no board and no portal. The property is shown to a closed list of verified buyers.
See how it worksInvestment and yield
Yield analysed on full costs, not on the gross figure printed in a brochure. The three markets compared on the same sheet.
See how it worksOff-plan and pre-construction
Assessment of the developer, the contract, the guarantees and the schedule. Above all in Dubai, where the contract matters more than the floor plan.

Send a briefThe three markets
Three markets, three sets of rules
Portugal
Lisbon, Cascais and the Algarve. Prime residential, refurbishment and second homes. Buying a property in Portugal stopped giving access to residence by investment in October 2023, when Lei 56/2023 removed the property route from the ARI scheme. The fund (€500,000), cultural donation, research and job creation routes remain.
The Portuguese marketSpain
Madrid, Marbella and the Balearics. Prime urban and coastal. The Spanish golden visa was repealed with effect from 3 April 2025 by Ley Orgánica 1/2025, with no direct replacement; permits granted before that date remain valid. Purchase by foreign buyers remains unrestricted.
How we cover SpainDubai
Downtown, Palm Jumeirah and the Marina. It is the only one of the three markets where property is still tied to residence: AED 2,000,000 of value registered at the Dubai Land Department gives access to the ten-year Golden Visa. In 2026 the rules were eased, changing the advance-payment requirement and allowing properties to be aggregated.
