D'Alma Portuguesa Real Estate

What D'Alma Portuguesa Real Estate does

D'Alma Portuguesa Real Estate is a privately held real estate brokerage headquartered in Albufeira, Portugal, operating across the Algarve region under the legal entity SANTOS & SERRÃO – MEDIAÇÃO IMOBILIARIA, LDA (AMI license 14347) and APEMIP trade membership. Founded in 2018, the firm employs approximately 6 people and maintains a catalog of 140+ active listings spanning apartments, villas, townhouses, commercial spaces, rural estates (quintas), ruins, and land across multiple Algarve municipalities including Albufeira, Loulé, Faro, Silves, and Vilamoura.

The company earns revenue primarily through transaction-based commissions on property sales and rentals, supplemented by recurring fees from short-term holiday rental management, long-term rental management, and property and garden maintenance under its 'We Fix by D'Alma' sub-brand. A dedicated short-term rental platform, D'Alma Portuguesa Rentals, operates as a sub-brand for vacation rental bookings. Customer mix is heavily skewed to individual buyers and sellers, including a notable international segment served by a multilingual consultant team (Portuguese, English, Spanish, French) that supports Golden Visa applicants and remote buyers from the UK, USA, Switzerland, and South Africa.

The underlying technology stack is built on the Casafari CRM and Proppy listing platform, which powers the public property search and backend operations; the firm has no disclosed proprietary technology or AI capabilities. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with digital marketing (multilingual website, email newsletter, client testimonials) supplemented by an extensive referral partnership network covering utilities, design, maintenance, travel, and home services across the Algarve.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• RE/MAX Portugal: RE/MAX operates a large franchised brokerage network across Portugal including multiple Algarve offices. Comparable product (residential and investment brokerage, rental management) with significantly larger agent count, lead-generation infrastructure, and international referral reach.
• Century 21 Portugal: Century 21 is a major international franchised real estate brand with a national Portuguese network including the Algarve. Comparable offering — residential sales, rentals, international buyer services — with stronger global brand pull and centralized lead funnels.
• ERA Imobiliária Portugal: ERA is one of the largest franchised real estate brokerage networks in Portugal with deep Algarve coverage. Directly comparable to D'Alma Portuguesa as a residential and investment-property brokerage serving local and inbound buyers, but at much greater national scale and brand recognition.
• Idealista: Idealista is the leading property portal in Portugal and Spain and a primary listing and lead-generation channel for Algarve brokerages. While not a direct brokerage competitor, it competes for buyer attention and increasingly captures leads directly, making it a structural competitor to D'Alma Portuguesa's listing-driven funnel.
• Keller Williams Portugal: Keller Williams is a global real estate franchise with a growing Portuguese presence including Algarve. Comparable full-service brokerage model with strong agent training, technology stack, and international referral network that D'Alma Portuguesa competes against for agent talent and inbound leads.
• Savills Algarve: Savills is a global real estate services company with a Portuguese presence serving prime Algarve residential markets. Competes for international high-net-worth buyer mandates and luxury listings that D'Alma Portuguesa also pursues.

Others

• Casafari: Casafari is the real estate data and CRM platform that powers D'Alma Portuguesa's property listings and CRM. Included as an ecosystem peer/technology supplier — the firm depends on Casafari for its tech stack, making Casafari a critical enabler and potential competitive threat if it expands into brokerage services.

Direct peers

• Engel & Völkers Algarve: Engel & Völkers is a German-origin international luxury real estate brand with significant Algarve presence. Closely comparable to D'Alma Portuguesa in targeting international second-home and investment buyers in the Algarve, with similar premium, multilingual, advisory-led service model.
• Quintas e Casas do Algarve: Specialized Algarve-focused real estate agency concentrating on quintas (rural estates), rural homesites, and traditional properties. Closely comparable to D'Alma Portuguesa's rural/land brokerage line and overlapping coverage of rural municipalities such as Silves and São Brás de Alportel.

Emerging players

• IAD Portugal: IAD is a fast-growing European network-model real estate brokerage with a Portuguese operation. Comparable in being a more agent-empowered, tech-enabled brokerage model; relevant comp for D'Alma Portuguesa's flat, consultant-led GTM motion.
