Service · after purchase · updated 2026
The deed is not the end of the process — it is the start of living in (or managing) the home. Cavalcanti RealEstate Team (AMI 18470) is a buyer’s agent: after purchase we help organise the soft landing — prioritise tasks, introduce trusted partners and connect day-to-day life to the area. We are not a property-management company, a bank, lawyers or tax advisers; we do not sell visas.
After the deed, focus shifts from “closing” to “moving in (or getting set up)”. Typically: keys and access; confirming land registry; switching on water, power and telecoms; updating address where needed; and, if relevant, schools and commuting. Exact order depends on relocating, buying remotely or investing. There is no single legal checklist on this page — your lawyer and, if applicable, accountant close the formal side.
What a buyer’s agent can do on the ground: practical post-deed priorities, useful local contacts (schools, services, commutes), and introductions to trusted partners (lawyer, notary, tax, credit) when useful. We link this to the where to live guides (Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra) and the relocation guide if the purchase came with a move. Your contract with each partner is yours — CRT does not bill those services.
We do not manage rentals or condominiums as a product. We do not replace a lawyer, notary, accountant or bank. We do not give tax or visa advice. We do not invent “average” registry or utility timelines — they vary by file and provider. If you need ongoing property management, we can point you to someone licensed to do it; we do not pretend that service here.
Once you own: annual IMI (municipal tax; VPT base; council rate) and, if applicable, condo fees. These are not deed-day IMT. Purchase-cost overview: buying costs; IMT in the simulator. IMI rates change — the council bill is the source.
Remote buyers often need powers of attorney, key handover and utility setup without being in Portugal — agreed case by case. Relocators add schools, commuting and daily life: use the area guides (Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra) and the buyers & relocation hub. After-purchase does not replace the buy path — it completes it.
If the deed is done (or booked), talk to us with the date and municipality: we build the practical list and contacts. Still searching? Start with the relocation guide or the buy hubs. AMI 18470 · powered by eXp Portugal.

Not as our own product. We coordinate soft landing and introduce partners when useful; ongoing rental or condo management is not an AMI service of this team on this page.
We help prioritise and point to typical steps/contacts. Activation is between you and the providers — timelines and tariffs are not controlled by CRT.
Practical orientation and links to where to live. We do not publish school rankings or place guarantees.
No. Registry, tax and contracts stay with licensed professionals. We can introduce partners; the mandate is yours.
