About
Client-first real estate, built in Lisbon.
Vera Vista exists because buying or selling property abroad shouldn't require blind trust. It should come with someone who does the work, tells you the truth, and speaks your language.
The story
Vera Vista was founded by Hugues Borel, a French real estate agent based in Lisbon since 2020. After starting out as an independent agent in 2023, he built Vera Vista around one conviction: advice should serve the client — even when that means telling you not to buy.
We represent buyers and sellers across Lisbon, working in English, French, and Portuguese.
Part of Keller Williams
Vera Vista operates as a brand within KW Ábaco (AMI 7183), part of Keller Williams — the world's largest real estate franchise by agent count, with 180,000+ agents across 50+ countries. You get personal, independent service, backed by the reach, systems, and reputation of a global network.
Most of our clients are international — people making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, in a country whose paperwork, market habits, and language are new to them. That's exactly the situation we're built for: financing, due diligence, negotiation, CPCV, deed, even the utilities after you get the keys.
Truth over commission
We regularly advise clients not to move forward when a property isn't in their best interest. A lost deal costs less than a client's trust.
Everything handled
Financing, legal checks, negotiation, paperwork, keys. One person accountable, start to finish.
Your language
English, French, and Portuguese — including the reading-between-the-lines that matters in a negotiation.
Come say hello.
A first conversation is free and without obligation — whether you're buying, selling, or just weighing your options.
