About us
About us
The foundation of Hatch Real Estate
Hatch Real Estate was founded with the vision of introducing a new kind of real estate company in The Algarve, Portugal. A full-service buyers and investors agency, that is data driven. By solely focusing on representing the buying party, we set ourselves apart from traditional real estate agents. Local agents in Portugal are primarily employed by and dependent on the selling party, as well as responsible to sell their own portfolios.
With us, you align with a team that advocates for you as the buyer. We don’t sell, but we help you buy. We always base our advice on the most recent data from the market, ensuring that well-informed decisions can be made. We believe that this is often overlooked, but crucial when you want to make a successful purchase.
Purchasing vs. Sales Agents
The differences between agents
The differences between us as a purchasing agent and a traditional agency are centered around the focus on the client. Because we do not sell any houses, we don’t have to balance between the purchaser and the seller. We can focus on what we do best: finding the right property and making the best deal for our purchasing clients.
