FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Selling a property is a process that requires knowledge of the market, promotion strategies and attention to legal and bureaucratic details. The Sofia Galvão Group offers a complete service, from the accurate assessment of the property's value to the final negotiation, ensuring that the client gets the best price and a quick and smooth sale. With extensive experience and a solid network of contacts, we maximise your chances of success.

The first step is to make sure that all the property's documentation is in order. This includes documents such as the land registry certificate, the permanent certificate and the energy certificate. The Sofia Galvão Group will help you to ensure that everything is correct and will prepare a detailed evaluation aiming to define the appropriate sale price.

The time it takes to sell a house depends on various factors, such as the state of the market and the price of the property. However, with a personalised approach and advanced marketing strategies, many properties are sold in less time than the market average.

We combine digital marketing, state of the art property platforms, home staging, professional photography and virtual tours. These techniques maximise your property's exposure to the right buyers, resulting in more interest and generally faster sales.

Buying a house is one of the most important financial decisions, and Sofia Galvão Group will ensure that you make the right choice. We have access to a vast network of properties, including exclusive ones that are not advertised on real estate portals. We offer support at every stage, from the search to the final negotiation and the signing of the final deed.

Sure! We have partnerships with several banks and can help you find the best financing conditions for your purchase.

Whether you're a tenant or a landlord, Sofia Galvão Group makes the leasing process easier, safer and more efficient. For landlords, we promote the property effectively, helping to find the right tenant. For tenants, we ensure that the letting process is simple and that the property complies with all legal obligations.

In the case of tenants, documents such as proof of income, ID and, in some cases, a guarantor are required. In the case of landlords, it is important to ensure that the property has up-to-date documentation, including the energy certificate and the mandatory insurance.

The rent is set on the basis of a market appraisal, considering the location of the property and comparing it with other similar rentals in the area. Based on this assessment, we help you to define a fair and competitive value.

It's not always necessary, but in some cases the landlord may require a guarantor as an additional guarantee. This requirement varies from contract to contract.

For the tenant, the costs usually include two months' rent and one month's security deposit.

Exclusivity means that Sofia Galvão Group will be the only company responsible for promoting your property, but we do not operate exclusively to make the sale. In order to find the best solutions for our clients, we work in partnership with all the real estate agents who have a valid brokerage license (AMI) and who may have a client interested in your property. This ensures that your property can be bought by any client looking for a home directly or who is being represented by a real estate consultant. However, the exclusive promotion allows us to devote more resources and attention to your property, guaranteeing a more efficient service and personalised follow-up until the end of the process.

Home staging is the preparation of a property to make it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants. It involves tidiness, decoration and small details that allow your property to stand out both in photos and during visits. With home staging, your property stands out on the market, increases its attractiveness and is generally sold or rented out more quickly.

Times vary according to the type of transaction and market conditions. However, with Sofia Galvão Group's personalised approach, many of our clients are able to close deals in less time than the market average.

Yes. Our team is with you every step of the way, from finding or searching for properties, negotiating offers and even signing the deed or lease. This way we guarantee total support from the first minute to the last!
