Let's Connect

100% Buyer Representation

We’re here for one reason: to represent you, the buyer. Unlike traditional agents, we’re not tied to sellers or listings. We focus entirely on your interests, helping you navigate the process, avoid costly mistakes, and get the best deal. And the best part? Our service comes at no extra cost to you.

On & Off-Market with Tailored Searches

The best properties aren’t always online. We tap into a private network of off-market homes and handpick options based on what matters most to you. Whether you’re searching for a peaceful retreat or a smart investment, we build the search around your goals, not just what’s available.

Transparency & Local Knowledge

Buying in a new country can feel overwhelming. That’s why we make everything clear from day one. You’ll get honest advice, detailed explanations, and real insights about neighborhoods, prices, and the buying process. We want you to feel confident every step of the way.

Wide Trusted Local Network

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. We work with trusted local professionals, from lawyers and mortgage advisors to inspectors and contractors, so experts at every stage support you. Think of us as your personal connection to the right people in Portugal.

Local insight. Global perspective. Unmatched support at every step.

Buying in Portugal? You’ll Want Ferdi on Your Side

Ferdi Van Duijvenbode, founder of Immo Lusitania, knows the Algarve like a local – because he is one. With a passion for helping international buyers feel confident and cared for, Ferdi offers more than listings. He provides honest guidance, insider knowledge, and full support to make your buying process in Portugal simple and stress-free.
