Why Choose Me as Your Real Estate Advisor in Madeira

Buying property abroad is not just a transaction — it is a life decision. It involves trust, clarity and having the right person by your side, especially when you are thousands of kilometres away. That is where I make the difference.

My name is Sónia Gonçalves, and I am a Real Estate Consultant with eXp Portugal, based on the island of Madeira, where I have been helping international buyers turn their dreams into reality since 2021.

With 19 years of experience in the banking sector, combined with a background in Public Relations and Corporate Communication, I offer something most agents cannot: a rare blend of financial expertise, strategic thinking and genuine client care. I understand numbers, risk, financing — but above all, I understand people.

I don’t believe in showing dozens of properties and hoping one works. I believe in listening first. Understanding your lifestyle, your priorities, your concerns and your long-term goals. Only then do I carefully select properties that truly match who you are and what you are looking for. This saves you time, avoids frustration and leads to better decisions.

When you come to Madeira, I don’t simply open doors. I guide you through the island. I pick you up at your hotel, show you the areas that best fit your lifestyle, explain the local market, the legal process and the real value behind each property. I want you to feel informed, confident and completely at ease.

Having personally built my own home, I also bring practical knowledge of construction quality, materials and new developments, which is essential for buyers considering new or off-plan properties. I help you look beyond the surface and make smart, secure choices.

Madeira is one of Europe’s safest and most attractive destinations, known for its year-round mild climate, excellent healthcare, political stability and outstanding quality of life. My role is to help you find not just a property — but the right place to call home.

What truly sets me apart is my commitment. I work with honesty, transparency and dedication, building long-term relationships based on trust. Many of my clients return for future purchases and recommend my services to family and friends — and that, to me, is the greatest measure of success.

If you are looking for a professional who will protect your interests, simplify the process and make your experience in Madeira smooth and enjoyable, I would be honoured to work with you.

Let’s turn your dream of owning a home in Madeira into reality — together.
