ONE Select Properties was founded from a long-standing connection to the Algarve and its most established residential communities.
With decades of experience in Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and the wider luxury property market, José Carvalho built the company around trust, discretion and a highly personal understanding of the region.
This local perspective continues to define how ONE works today: with close client relationships, informed guidance and a deep familiarity with the lifestyle, properties and communities that shape the Algarve.

Meet the people behind ONE Select Properties, a local Algarve team with experience across luxury real estate, client relationships and international property guidance.
Each member of the team brings a personal understanding of the region, helping buyers and sellers navigate the Algarve market with clarity, discretion and confidence.
José joined the prestigious resort of Quinta do Lago in its very early days in 1979, in 1985 that decided to settle and join the Real Estate team at Quinta do Lago SA. He became the Sales and Marketing Director as well as a Board Member.
In 2009, he stepped down from this position to pursue his own ambitions. José’s knowledge and understanding of the real estate market here are second to none. He saw an opportunity to go ONE step ahead, and ONE Select Properties was born.
What does ONE Select Properties mean to you? “To bring an entire new level of service to clients, whether they are buyers or sellers. People do business with whom they like and trust.”
ONE to ONE. That’s what attracted her to this partnership in excellence. “Working with the best real estate the Algarve has to offer, based on an understanding of total professionalism. Listening to the client. Building trust.”
Originally hailing from Oporto in the north, she soon was won over by the Algarve’s unique charms. She also settled in the Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo areas and made a name for herself on a wide range of interior design projects. An eye for details that count.
Like José, she is excited about the Algarve’s future, and how ONE Select Properties can become the ONE name you remember in a bustling property market.

Despite her global endeavours, Catarina remains deeply rooted in her family’s business, nestled in the tranquil corners of the Algarve, where familial bonds are cherished. With only three in their close-knit circle, Catarina embraces the importance of continuity in the family legacy.
