Frequently Asked Questions — Imocomunidades

Yes. Imocomunidades was built specifically for people living outside Portugal who see distance as the main obstacle to buying, selling, or investing. The platform brings together certified partners (real estate agencies, lawyers, tax advisors) who already work with Portuguese emigrants and foreign buyers, and who understand the legal and tax details that come with buying from abroad. Your project in Portugal starts from a safe, structured point instead of navigating multiple contacts across different countries alone.

No. Imocomunidades does not take any percentage or commission on property transactions. The business model is based on fixed subscription plans, paid monthly or annually by certified partners (agencies, lawyers, tax advisors) for visibility on the platform. Buyers and sellers never pay Imocomunidades to use the platform or to be connected with a partner.

No. Properties are published directly by certified partners at the official listing price set by the agency or owner. Imocomunidades does not change, mark up, or intermediate the value of any property. The price shown on the platform is the same price you would get by contacting the partner directly.

Every partner goes through a certification process before joining the platform. This includes verifying their professional activity (real estate license, bar association membership for lawyers, relevant credentials for tax advisors) and their experience working with emigrant clients. Only certified partners can publish content, appear in the directory, or be recommended through the platform.

No. Imocomunidades does not provide legal or tax advice directly. That role always belongs to specialized certified partners, such as lawyers, notaries, and tax advisors, who handle each case individually. The platform is a starting point and a source of context, never a substitute for professional advice.

No. The platform covers the entire country and every market segment, not just tourist areas or high end properties. Regions like Lisbon, Porto, Minho, Madeira, and the Azores get the same visibility as the Algarve, depending on each user's project.

Imocomunidades is available in Portuguese, French, English, German, and Spanish, with content adapted for each market rather than simply translated. The main focus is on Portuguese communities in France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the UK etc., but any non resident interested in buying, selling, or investing in Portugal can use the platform.

No. Access to the platform, property search, and contact with certified partners is free for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in Portugal. Paid subscription plans apply only to professional partners who want visibility and certified presence on the platform.

Traditional portals offer volume of listings but little cultural or linguistic context for people living outside Portugal. Imocomunidades was built from the ground up for the diaspora, with partners experienced in working with emigrant clients, content in five languages, and support geared toward the legal and tax realities of buying from a distance.

Yes. Data is handled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies since Imoedit Sàrl operates from Luxembourg. Data shared through the platform is used only to connect you with the certified partner best suited to your project.
