Our team

The Modern Spaces was born from a shared vision between Mathilde and Rafael: a commitment to redefining real estate through quality design, intelligent marketing and exceptional service. With a foundation built in one of West London’s leading boutique agencies, they honed their expertise in high-end, design-led properties before bringing their complementary skills to Portugal’s dynamic property market. Their international experience and deep industry knowledge allow them to craft a more thoughtful, tailored approach for discerning homeowners and developers.

With roots in prime central London, Daniel joins as a seasoned negotiator and longtime friend of Rafael. The two worked together in London, bringing a natural understanding and ease that adds strength to a close-knit team shaped by experience, connection and a shared belief in doing things better.

Rafael

Rafael’s journey in real estate spans Lisbon and London, with a focus on design-led homes that feel tailor-made for the people who live there. Rafael is known for consistently exceeding expectations and his ability to secure results has earned him celebration as a top negotiator in competitive markets. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to exceptional service, he ensures every experience is professional and personal. Rafael ensures that finding a home is an inspiring, seamless journey.

Mathilde

With over eight years of experience, Mathilde shapes the identity of design-led properties through her skilled digital marketing. With a master’s degree in the field and a keen eye for detail, her innovative strategies go beyond the conventional; she creates tailored campaigns that highlight each home’s character and charm, reaching the right audience every time. For Mathilde, it’s not just about listing properties, it’s creating an engaging experience that captures the true essence of a space.

Daniel

British-Lebanese with over eight years’ experience in prime Central London real estate, Daniel is a seasoned negotiator known for his discretion, design sensitivity, and sharp instincts. Working with international clients and exceptional homes, he has shaped an approach that consistently delivers results, going above and beyond with a style that is both intuitive and refreshingly straightforward.

Now based in Lisbon, Daniel brings the same high standards and personal dedication to a new market, pairing people with homes that reflect their lives and aspirations, and guiding each transaction with confidence, clarity, and meticulous attention to detail.
