About Maria Almeida

Real Estate Advisor | eXp Realty Portugal Founder – Spot in Paradise powered by eXp In the real estate sector since 2018, I've learned that a home is much more than a transaction: it's the setting where life happens. I'm part of eXp Realty's global community, but it's in Spot in Paradise that I give voice to my true mission: transforming the search for a property into a journey of discovery and belonging. Although Porto is my current home, my heart holds the colours of Alentejo and the light of the Algarve. It's this journey that allows me today to work across the entire national territory, with an intimate knowledge of the landscapes that make Portugal a unique destination. Speaking English and French is not just a work tool for me, but the necessary bridge to welcome those who choose our country as their new refuge. In 2024, this project gained a new dimension when I joined my daughter, Vitória. Together, we created more than a brand; we created a family business where every client is treated as part of our extended Portuguese family. I believe in empathy, active listening and complete transparency. My goal is not just to close a sale, but to ensure that, at the end of the process, you feel you've gained a friend and found your place in the world — your true spot in paradise.
