TMP does not charge any fees to buyers for our real estate services. We do charge a fee for our rental services.
Many international clients ask how we are paid. Transparency is fundamental to us.
In Portugal, the seller pays the real estate commission, which is then shared between the real estate agencies involved in the transaction.
For property purchases in Portugal, the seller pays a standard commission of 4% to 5%.
This commission is then shared equally between the real estate agencies involved in the transaction.
When TMP represents a buyer, our fee is paid from this commission.
This means our clients receive full professional representation without paying any fee.
Most estate agents in Portugal work under this model, which allows us to access almost all properties for sale across the country, with only a few limited exceptions.
Mortgages
For mortgages, we do not charge any advisory fee.
We receive a standard commission directly from the bank once the mortgage starts, typically between 1% and 1.5% of the loan amount.
Our clients never pay upfront fees.
We only get paid once we successfully deliver results — when a property is bought, sold or rented.

I’m very grateful to have worked with Tim. He was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. His expertise in the Portuguese property market, especially with citizenship-related considerations, gave me real confidence in every decision I made. He took the time to explain everything clearly, paid close attention to details, and genuinely had my best interests in mind. What could have been a stressful experience felt smooth and well-managed thanks to his guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert and trustworthy real estate support in Portugal.Posted on Natercia Quintas Excellent service from start to finish, can't recommend Tim enough for whoever wants to make the move to Portugal!Posted on Costin Marin Tim took my daughter and myself on an extensive tour of the various places I was considering to live. His knowledge of the areas proved invaluable to my decision. He was brilliant in helping me find a wonderful place to live proposing many good options, all based on my requested features. Even after finding the right place, he greatly assisted with negotiating final terms. I felt confident that he was looking after my best interests throughout the whole process.Posted on Derek Jimdar My wife and I visited the area on a scouting trip, considering relocation from the US. Tim gave us a very comprehensive tour of the area, listening to our preferences and giving us a "boots on the ground" view of living in various neighborhoods. He was really helpful and kind, giving us the strengths and trade-offs of each area we saw. I recommend highly!Posted on David Van Brunt
