Create Your First Portfolio in 5 Minutes!

TL;DR
Creating a portfolio lets you group properties around a specific buyer or project so you can stay organized, align listings with client needs, and share curated options confidently.


When to use this

Create a new portfolio when you:

  • Start working with a new buyer or investor
  • Want to organize properties for a specific brief (location, budget, timeline)
  • Need a clean, shareable collection of listings for client review
  • Are running parallel searches for multiple clients or scenarios


Step-by-step instructions


  1. Go to your Portfolios page

This is your central hub for all buyer portfolios.

  1. Click *Create Portfolio*

A form will open prompting you to enter the portfolio details.

  1. Enter the portfolio information

Fill in the following fields:

  • Portfolio Name

Use a clear, descriptive name so you can recognize it instantly.

Examples:

“Downtown Lisbon Apartments Q1 2026”

“Silva Family – Coastal Properties”

  • Client Information

Add the client’s email address.

This is used when sharing the portfolio and for client-facing communication.

  • Region of Interest

Select the city, area, or region your client is searching in.

This helps filter and organize relevant listings later.

  • Budget and Currency

Define the client’s budget range and currency.

This keeps all properties aligned with financial expectations.

  • Target Closing Date

Choose the desired closing date.

This helps you prioritize time-sensitive opportunities and negotiations.

  • Buyer Description

Clearly describe what the client is looking for.

Include:

  • Preferred locations or neighborhoods
  • Property type (apartment, house, commercial, etc.)
  • Budget considerations or flexibility
  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Must-have features (parking, outdoor space, proximity to schools, views, elevators, etc.)
  1. Save the portfolio

Once saved, the portfolio is ready for adding and managing properties.



Common issues & tips

  • Vague portfolio names

→ Use names that include location, client, or timeframe to avoid confusion later.

  • Incomplete buyer description

→ The clearer the description, the better your property matching and client trust.

  • Budget not aligned with region

→ Double-check budget vs. market reality to avoid irrelevant listings.

  • Wrong client email

→Always check the email before creating the portfolio for smooth sharing and communication workflows.

  • Overloading one portfolio

→ Create multiple portfolios for different scenarios instead of mixing objectives.
