At JLL, I spent six years working transactions at the institutional end of the Lisbon residential market: Capital Markets deals, developer relationships, off-plan commercialisation, and private client advisory for buyers coming in from London, New York, São Paulo and Dubai.
The analytical tools I built there, yield modelling, comparable transaction analysis, due diligence frameworks, are not typically available to buyers working with standard residential agents. Lisbonest exists to close that gap.
Independent advisory means one thing structurally: I am paid by you, not by the developer. My incentive is to find the right asset at the right price. Not to move a specific unit, not to hit a developer's sales target, not to recommend what's easiest to sell.
That structural difference changes everything about how the advice is given.
