Hi Lisa,
Thanks for posting the question...sharing these doubts helps others
Lots of helpful advice on Decreto 218/2005 in another area of the forum also:

If you are simply an advertising medium (in many ways like a newspaper or magazine), then you do not have to worry about Decreto 218/2005. It is the responsibility of the professionals who advertise to comply with the legislation. The law applies only if you come into direct contact with buyer clients in the sale or rental of properties. Hence, to avoid the need for compliance, you cannot collect leads or details of buyer clients, nor can you advertise with the intent of receiving any correspondence from them. All correspondence must be direct to the professional agent or agency who has placed the advert.
In your case regarding advertising, a reminder for real estate agencies who advertise to ensure compliance with article 5 of Decreto 218/2005 will be helpful.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Miguel
