‘When planning our relocation to Portugal, it gave us great peace of mind to work with a local company with expertise and contacts in Portuguese real estate and immigration. Pieter and Alice’s ability to understand our needs, advocate on our behalf and cut through red tape, allowed us to relocate quickly and with minimal stress.’

Yvonne, New York/Valencia >>> Algarve

‘During our search for a beautiful home in Portugal, Pieter & Alice came on our path. The first phone call with Pieter felt right from the start, and we knew from that moment on that we could ‘get along’.

What is very special about their way of working, is that they listen very well. And from there, they turn into action mode. We worked closely toghether as a team, and got step by step closer to what we were actually looking for!

In addition, their knowledge of the Portuguese housing market is great and their network so extensive that, once they helped us to purchase, they also helped us in an amazing way with all kinds of issues that may arise after buying a house. In our communication with Pieter & Alice we always felt heard and they were always very willing to think along. And that is what we needed 😊.

Besides that, they are very nice people who we hope to meet many times in the future!’

Ton & Annelize Bisterbosch, Amsterdam > Quinta de Santa Rita, Elvas

"We feel so lucky to have come across Pieter and Alice"

Having seen Pieter on YouTube we took the chance and contacted him, we were quite nervous as YouTube can be a bit like the wild west! But phew…! all was well, and we were so glad that we took the plunge!

Alice and Pieter guided us through the whole process of moving to Portugal and buying our lovely new home here as well as holding our hands through all the paperwork involved which was invaluable for us.

We found them to be good people who are friendly and level headed, and offered us thoughtful diligence in finding our feet in Portugal as well as helping us finding our beautiful home here.”

I am so glad we had them on our side. Definitely recommended!

My family and I recently moved to Porto and, with the help of the Portugal Company, purchased a new home. I can´t imagine going through this process without their help. In fact, I’m sure it would not have been possible without them. Simply trying to arrange visits of properties that are actually available would have been difficult. (Portuguese realtors often “bait and switch” with listings of properties that are already sold.) And even if we had somehow managed to locate a property, it would have been a nightmare trying to negotiate a deal and navigate paperwork – I’m sure we would have felt that we’d been taken advantage of. Not only are Pieter and Alice super friendly and welcoming, but they are also incredibly well-versed with the “ins and outs” of the Portugal real estate market. They are shrewd negotiators and helped avoid costly mistakes. They are also great communicators and were always available to answer our questions and put our minds at ease. Purchasing property in another country can be overwhelming, but it was nice to have them explain the process and make it less daunting. They held our hand throughout the process from start to finish and did much of the hard work for us. I am so glad we had them on our side. Definitely recommended!
