Ana Risso | Real Estate Broker - Portugal Reviews 13

Destaco acima de tudo: O conhecimento do mercado e a identificação de oportunidades; A capacidade de negociação com os vendedores; E a clareza na relação comigo.

Ana nos ajudou em todos os aspectos da compra da casa nova. Ela conhece o mercado, é eficaz e eficiente, e o seu time também é muito competente. Ela responde perguntas e cuida da transação sem atrasos. Quando ha algum problema, ela sempre procura formas alternativas de resolve-lo.

I highly recommend Ana Risso for all your real estate needs.
She is knowledgeable, friendly, supportive and exactly who you need when it comes to the Portuguese property market.

We were brand new to the country, and she pretty much held our hands through the entire process.

1. She did all the research, taking our exact needs into consideration.
2. Found our perfect place.
3. Went on viewings with us.
4. Did all the negotiations and secured a good contract with a great landlord.

But there was one thing she did that was Above. And. Beyond.
She told us when she had a hunch about a bad deal.
She saw red flags everywhere. And instead of concluding the deal and leaving us with a difficult landlord, she advised us to walk away.

When she says that she cares about you getting the best deal for your money, she means it!

Ana was a great help to us.

Ana is super professional and assisted my family and I with ease and efficiency

We were extremely satisfied with our real estate broker who made our journey from Australia to Portugal so much easier to understand and navigate. She found accomodation for us that met the requirements of our visa, she was always available to contact re questions. And more than that she met us in Lisboa when we arrived and drove us to our new home AND helped us with creating accounts for water, electricity and more. We will never forget her kindness and helpfulness throughout that bewildering time moving to a new country. This was 3 years ago

Trabalhámos com a Ana em duas fases: primeiro para o arrendamento em 2024 e depois para a compra do mesmo apartamento em 2025. Ao longo de todo o processo foi exemplar: comunicou de forma transparente, respondeu sempre com rapidez e explicou cada passo, prazos e custos sem surpresas.
A Ana fez a due diligence da documentação, alinhou expectativas com o proprietário, tratou de marcações, preparou minutas e esteve connosco até à assinatura da escritura. Nas negociações foi firme e justa, focada em soluções e no nosso interesse — tudo correu sem stress e sem pressões.
Experiência impecável do início ao fim. Recomendamos sem reservas e voltaríamos a trabalhar com a Ana.

Katrin, Alex e Ian.

Ana was recommended by the lawyer we used to relocate from UK to Portugal. She replied to me straight away and arranged for a video call so she could assess our needs.
She offered us several viewings for a long term rental, which we needed to secure our Portuguese residency. She drove from the centre of the country to pick us up and drove us to view all the properties, acting as translator for any questions we had.
With Ana's help we secured a rental and have now successfully achieved residency.
Throughout the whole experience we found Ana to be patient, friendly and knowledgeable.

Ana was very helpful and friendly and helped walk us through the processes of renting our first property in Portugal. Including getting our water and electricity connected and helping with translations of both documents and introductions. I would like to think that my wife and I have made a great friend for life. Thank you Ana.

Before we moved to Portugal, Ana Risso was helping us through the Real Estate transition process every step of the way, offering referrals for immigration attorney and mortgage broker, but also finding us a great furnished apartment in Setubal for our D7 VISA requirement.

Once the VISA was approved, it was time to search for the right community to live in long term during our visits there and to ultimately find a house to purchase Ana gave us great advice on many of those communities as well.

Ok, time for us to make the one way flight to Portugal after leaving the US for good. Guess who was there to help us with our 3 full luggage carts? Yes, Ana.

Once we were settled in with the apartment, it was time to shop for a house. She personally drove us around doing multiple home viewings.

We picked a great house near a bustling community that my wife and I seriously enjoy. Ana single-handedly negotiated the final price $30K EU less than the asking price!

Ana has been not only our Portugal Real Estate Agent, but a friend and advocate every step of the way. My wife and I are now having multiple conversations about investing in more Real Estate with Ana so we can enjoy passive income for many years to come!

Thank you Ana for all you do. You're the best!!

In a sector predominantly focused on pushing sales and closing deals as soon as possible, Ana's unwavering integrity is welcomed by clients as a sign of what a true professional embodies. Every real estate broker will tell you why you want their property. Ana, on the other hand, will be the first to tell you "no" when a "no" is due - more often than not, that is when you most need to hear it. And to Ana's own financial detriment, mind you.
In 10 years' time, you won't remember how long it took to sell your house or how fast Ana found a place for your family to live in. You will however remember that Ana found the perfect place for you. You will remember how she worked around the clock, never left you hanging, did not take 5 business days to respond to every e-mail, liaised with accounting, legal, banks, notaries and whichever other professionals required (while often double jobbing as your personal psychologist) to make sure that no stone was left unturned. You will remember how she provided you with a double columned contract with one of the columns being in your a language you understand, while other realtors just slapped you with their agency's Portuguese, poorly formatted, one-size-fits-all template and barely provided any explanation on what they wanted you to sign. You will remember that although you were moving to a new country, possibly in a new continent, with different customs, laws and professional etiquette, and where you did not know a single soul, you did not feel alone for one second. You will remember Ana.

Realized and acted upon our sense of urgency for rental accommodation. Found us the right home to purchase and followed through even beyond the closing on the property. Proactive, attentive and client focused agent!

We have had the pleasure of working with Ana twice—first when purchasing an apartment during COVID while working abroad in Brunei (8 hours ahead) and again three years later when renting it out. She is an incredibly dedicated professional who always puts her clients first.
When helping us buy the apartment, Ana worked around the time differences and went beyond simply showing us properties. She carefully considered our needs and even evaluated the surrounding areas to ensure the location suited our situation. Since we were purchasing online, she provided virtual tours where she was transparent, pointing out both the strengths and potential drawbacks of each property. Her guidance made the entire buying process smooth and reassuring.
Three years later, when it came time to rent out the apartment, Ana once again exceeded expectations. She prepared high-quality photos, a video, and thoughtful marketing materials that highlighted the property beautifully. Thanks to her efforts, the apartment was rented in less than two weeks—and at a higher price than we had anticipated.
Ana’s professionalism, honesty, and commitment make her truly stand out. we wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone buying or renting a home. Jo and Tom Marshall
