Even though Isabel was the seller's agent, she could not have done more to help us, the buyers, through the process. She was the person who provided the updates on what was going on and the one to chase others to provide information or complete actions. Regularly checking in on us and providing whatever help we needed was all part of the service provided. When problems arose, she took the initiative to get them resolved in her calm and persistent way. Even now that we're in our new home, Isabel continues to check in on us and offer help. Shout out to Sofia too, who even came to EDP with us to help sort out a transfer issue. Definitely an Estate Agent we can recommend!

Isabel is fantastic. We are from the US and she did a great job with communication. Always responsive and very knowledgeable. We had a great experience with the purchase of our house in Portugal

We had an amazing experience with both buying our new home and selling our old home with Lemon Tree. The quality of the video and pictures posted for advertisement were very professional. We had a buyer 3 days after it went on the market. Thank you Isabel, Nicola and Sofia for everything!

Isabel has been incredible, after an initial in-depth meeting to ascertain our needs and desires she gave us excellent feedback on the internet properties we had identified as a possible new home. From the remaining choices she was able to narrow it down to a few must see choices to help us refine further. Thanks to her expertise and experience we ruled out quite a few properties as in the wrong area, too noisy, too isolated etc. and chose several to view. The third property we saw was the perfect choice for us, due largely to Isabel and her knowledge of the locality and her profession. Her support has carried us through the entire process and beyond to include getting the utilities organised and plenty of advice and information about our new town, Tavira. Thank-you so much Isabel, you are amazing. Peter and Athina

Isabel at Lemon Tree Homes is the best possible agent who will work with you relentlessly until your home is sold. She guided us through a difficult situation to overcome all obstacles and never gave up. She had to deal with a dishonest management company, Imoglobo, at Colina Verde. Do not ever buy an apartment at Colina Verde. Isabel and her assistant Sonia are honest and always had our best interest at heart. They went above and beyond with their service. They are knowledgeable, pleasant and got the job done. There is no better real estate agency in all of Portugal. We are so happy and extremely satisfied to have had Lemon Tree Homes sell our apartment. So glad we found them.

We can highly recommend Isabel Romano. We are very happy that the sellers of our apartment chose Isabel as their real estate agent. Firstly, the professional marketing and the appealing video drew our attention to our dream apartment. But the best thing was: she made everything very easy for us. Isabel is a very professional, competent real estate agent, but also a very friendly, warm-hearted woman. From the first contact we had great trust in her. Isabel accompanied us confidently throughout the entire purchase process and is still happy to help us at any time if we have any questions. It was also very valuable for us that she has a large network, from lawyers to painters - all very professional and friendly. Thank you, Isabel! Martina & Werner

Isabel made my move to Portugal pure joy. She is not only highly professional and knowledgeable in the field of real estate, she anticipates your every need and provides you with all the help one needs while making a very complicated decision to move to a foreign country. Isabel knew exactly what I wanted and made it easy to make my choice. I am immensely grateful to Isabel for all her help and support and recommend her highly.

Isabel was very helpful. She provided us with good insights into each property we viewed, was available to answer any questions we had, and offered to drive us to viewings when we were without a car. Isabel provided us with good advice and put us in contact with an excellent lawyer which enabled us to have a smooth closing without any issues. She negotiated a fair price for us. We would not hesitate to recommend Isabel as an agent and would use her services again if we required them.

I would highly recommend Isabel when buying a property in Tavira or the surrounding areas. From Day 1 Isabel was; accommodating, friendly, realistic and knowledgeable and liaised constantly between us and the property owners to ensure all our needs were catered for. She took the time to understand our requirements and to fit around our trips to Portugal from the UK, whilst also supporting the property owners for whom the move was complex and emotional. Isabel continues to link us in with her network of property related professionals and offer valuable advice. I would not hesitate to buy or sell a property via Isabel @ Lemon Tree Homes in the future. Michael and Tracey

Isabel is a caring and trustworthy real estate professional. She recently (December 2022) assisted me in my purchase of a lovely flat in the historic area of Tavira. Isabel conducted her work thoroughly and efficiently throughout the entire browsing and negotiation process and provided me with the resources and support for a smooth and pleasant property purchase transition. We had a minor issue with the Seller’s agent that she promptly resolved with a suggestion that ultimately resulted in my offer being accepted by Seller. Even after the closing of the transaction, Isabel continues to be available to help me with settling into my new Tavira neighborhood. I am forever grateful to have connected with her and to now call her my friend.

Isabel Romano is truly the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. We're an American couple retired in Portugal, and we were incredibly fortunate that the Lisbon agent of the apartment we were looking to purchase in Tavira introduced us to Isabel at Lemon Tree Homes as our local agent. Isabel goes above and beyond in every way - before the sale, letting us in multiple times to view and measure and consider the property, guiding us through every step with her perfect English during the sale and all the paperwork, signings, notary and even residency updates, and then after the sale, she and her team continued to assist us with getting insurance, walking us around town to help us sign up for all the utilities, managing the key to allow workers in for renovations when we were out of town, and always responding quickly and warmly. Isabel truly cares for us like a dear friend, not just a business deal, and we cherish her friendship. We heartily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring real estate agent in Portugal.

Isabel assisted my wife and I with the purchase of an apartment in Tavira. She was dogged in her determination to get us the best deal possible. And she was so kind in assisting us with our first real estate purchase in Portugal. She made the process very easy for us, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for those thinking of buying or selling property. She continues to check in on us, even weeks after the purchase has closed. Her kindness is greatly appreciated.

Isabel and her team made my mother's downsizing a very manageable experience. She found the perfect apartment within a few weeks and had a buyer for the house a few weeks after that. Both the purchase and the sale went very smoothly. Dealing with Lemon Tree Homes was a very positive experience and thank you Isabel for making it so easy.

We met Isabel first time in 2019 and we liked her natural and uncomplicated manner. She took much time for the visits of the properties and she informed us as soon as she had a new villa for us. In fact, we found a house with her help in early 2020, and she has been of great help to us beyond the buying process. We felt we were in very good hands with her at all times and can recommend Isabel to everyone as a trustful, charmed and very kind real estate agent.

Isabel gave our home the time and attention it deserved. We had several other realtors before working with Isabel and she was able to quickly find the right buyer and help us manage the sale from a distance. Isabel is professional, caring, attentive to details and overall a lovely and trustworthy person. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor. So many local realtors put in zero effort so it was wonderful to have someone like Isabel who understands the urgency when a property is for sale.

Isabel Romano is a true gem. So fun, knowledgeable, energetic and thoroughly likeable, she will become a true friend if you (as you should) engage her services for your real estate needs.

Isabel Romano

Real Estate Agent

Hi, I’m Isabel, and helping people take the next step in their lives—whether that means selling a cherished family home or finding their dream property—is what drives me every day. Having lived abroad for many years, I know how exciting yet overwhelming it can be to settle into a new country. Finding the right home, navigating a new way of life, and creating a sense of belonging isn’t always easy—but it’s worth it.

When I returned to Portugal, I faced a new challenge: rediscovering my own country and finding the perfect place to call home. That journey eventually led me to Tavira, a town I now love deeply and am proud to call my home. My experiences living in different countries, cities, and now returning to Portugal have given me a unique perspective. I understand what it takes to make a big move—and I know how to guide you through it with empathy and expertise.

As a NAR Certified Real Estate Agent specializing in the Algarve, my top priority is understanding what matters most to you. Whether it’s securing the best price for your property or finding a home that feels like “the one,” I bring a results-driven approach while keeping it personal. I listen carefully, work tirelessly, and make sure the buying or selling process is as stress-free as a walk along Praia do Barril.

I don’t just bring knowledge of the market and creative marketing strategies—I bring a commitment to being your trusted advisor and advocate. My success is built on relationships, and I’m proud that my clients often recommend me because of the care, attention, and open communication they receive.

When I’m not helping my clients, you’ll usually find me enjoying life in Tavira, walking my dog along the stunning coastline, or spending quality time with my family. And if you’re ever strolling through Tavira’s charming city center, stop by my office near the Villa Galé Hotel on  Rua 1º de Maio, 39 . Either me or Sofia will be happy to meet you and I would love to meet you and chat about your goals over a cup of coffee.

At Lemon Tree Homes, we don’t just sell houses—we help people create the next chapter in their lives. Because a home isn’t just a building; it’s a place of safety, comfort, and memories. Whether you’re dreaming of a fresh start or ready to move forward, let’s work together to make it happen.

I can’t wait to get to know you. Feel free to reach out to me at hello@lemontreehomes.pt. Together, we’ll turn your goals into reality.
