A conversation excerpt
SCSofia CarvalhoLinha Clara
Assistant: To point you at the right areas instead of sending a generic list, what are you looking to do: relocate with family, move for work, buy a second home, or invest?
Buyer: We need more space for the children and an easy commute to Lisbon.
Assistant: Areas differ a lot in price and day-to-day rhythm. Do you already have one or two in mind, or would it help if Sofia suggested a shortlist based on what matters to you?
Buyer: Carcavelos or Parede could work, depending on the school run.
Assistant: Timing changes the plan. Are you thinking within 6 months, 6–12 months, or still exploring?
The assistant asks one question at a time. The handoff below includes later answers about timing, budget, financing and the buyer's open question.
