Cape Verde and the notion of real estate agency: between tradition and modernity

Political stability, tourism growth and growing interest from foreign investors have transformed the urban landscape of the main islands: Sal, Boa Vista, Praia and São Vicente. However, the market remains young and in full structuring. The very notion of real estate agency is evolving rapidly: from a traditional model based on human contact and word of mouth, to a more digital, more professional and more supervised approach.

The real estate agency: a key player in the Cape Verdean market

The real estate agency plays a central role in the development of the sector. In Cape Verde, it is not just an intermediary between seller and buyer it becomes a trusted partner, guarantor of transparency and security of transactions.

In a market where private-to-private sales remain frequent, the Cape Verdean real estate agency brings professional framework and legal security that are still too rare.

•Accompany individuals in the sale, purchase or rental of properties.

•Ensure legal and cadastral verification of properties.

•Supervise administrative and notarial procedures.

•Enhance properties through photos, plans, videos and adapted descriptions.

•Offer personalized advisory service to clients, whether local, diaspora members or foreign investors.

Local market challenges

Despite its potential, the Cape Verdean real estate sector faces several challenges:

•Lack of standardization of practices between agencies.

•Absence of centralized database of available properties.

•Difficulty accessing reliable information, particularly for foreign buyers.

•Low digitalization of sales processes and ad management.

Digitalization: a major turning point for real estate agencies

Today, Cape Verde is entering a new real estate era, marked by digital transformation. Platforms like Neo Immo contribute directly to this evolution by offering digital solutions adapted to market players.

Thanks to these tools, agencies can now publish and manage their ads online, track their sales via a dashboard, gain visibility with local and international audiences, generate qualified leads and simplify procedures with features like electronic signature or digital mandate.
