Alexandra Bettings Chaves is a Senior Property Advisor at Private Luxury Collection, working with national and international clients on residential acquisitions and portfolio-level property decisions in Portugal.

She advises buyers navigating strategic property decisions—whether primary residences, investment positioning, or multi-property portfolios—with a focus on alignment between financial objectives, lifestyle requirements, and long-term value creation.

Her work centres on strategic guidance, preparation-led advisory, and disciplined execution across complex, cross-border transactions.

Experience and Market Exposure

Alexandra brings over 30 years of commercial leadership experience to her advisory practice, with 15 years operating in entrepreneurial and startup environments prior to entering real estate.

Her background includes:

strategic advisory and commercial leadership roles requiring high-stakes decision-making and multi-party negotiation

cross-border client engagements involving international legal, fiscal, and banking coordination

portfolio evaluation and investment property analysis for clients balancing return objectives with lifestyle considerations

due diligence oversight and risk assessment in fast-moving, competitive market conditions

This foundation informs her approach to property advisory, where she applies strategic thinking, relationship capital, and execution discipline to client mandates.

Advisory Approach

Alexandra's approach is methodical, data-driven, and relationship-focused.

She is known for:

conducting thorough preparation before market engagement, ensuring clients understand objectives, constraints, and trade-offs

managing expectations with transparency, particularly where market conditions shift rapidly or inventory is limited

negotiating with clarity and balance, protecting client interests while maintaining long-term relationships across parties

identifying strategic misalignment early and advising against transactions where objectives are unrealistic or risk is disproportionate

Her role is to act as a strategic partner throughout the acquisition process, not simply to facilitate transactions.

Areas of Responsibility

Alexandra works across:

strategic buyer representation for residential and investment property acquisitions

portfolio-level advisory for clients evaluating multiple properties or phased acquisition strategies

cross-border transaction coordination involving international legal and fiscal advisors

seller-side advisory for clients requiring controlled positioning and qualified buyer engagement

Responsibilities are tailored to each mandate and executed in accordance with firm standards.

Professional Standards

Alexandra operates within the regulatory framework governing real estate activity in Portugal and according to the internal standards of Private Luxury Collection.

All client engagement is conducted with transparency, discretion, and professional accountability.

Working With Alexandra

Alexandra works with clients who value strategic insight, disciplined process, and preparation-led advisory.

Engagement is based on alignment between client objectives and advisory approach, ensuring outcomes reflect informed decision-making rather than market pressure.
