I am incredibly pleased with the service I received from the Pearls of Portugal team. Diogo had a helpful introductory call with me to understand what type of investment my wife and I were looking for. When we arrived in Porto for property visits, Gustavo found us very good properties, and Helena was incredibly helpful throughout the visits. After our two-day tour, Helena walked us through next steps and was incredibly helpful as she negotiated our property purchases on our behalf. Helena then worked with our lawyer to finalize the legal DD / property closing materials...

Pearls of Portugal has been instrumental to our process of purchasing a home while ensuring qualification to visa. Frederik made everything seamless with recommendations to lawyers, architect, contractors, etc. Even after the purchase, the company still helps clients with their needs. Helena is great throughout and knows her clients and interests. This made is less transactional and more of a partnership. She is with you from viewings to negotiations to architecture renovations. I highly recommend Pearls of Portugal for anyone searching a home and living in Portugal.

I highly recommend Pearls of Portugal, the attention I have received is first class, I couldn't ask for more. All the team have been diligent, transparent, and careful in every detail. I have obtained a contract for a dream apartment in record time, right in an area where there are not usually many offers. They have understood me, advised me and guided me at all times, helping me achieve my dreams. Thanks to Diogo, Ana, Lisa and the whole team in general. Five stars and more ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🧡

We just closed on our new house last week. Honestly, I don't know how we would have been able to do it without the help of the incredible Pearls of Portugal team. Yes, it was definitely a team effort, but Helena is a shining star who got everything done and navigated us through every problem that we encountered. I strongly recommend that if you're looking to purchase or rent real estate anywhere in Portugal you should definitely contact Pearls of Portugal.

Pearls of Portugal were so helpful when I needed to find a property in Portugal for the Golden Visa. Helena was friendly and professional. She was always available to provide helpful advice and the video calls made the process easy. She was able to talk to estate agents on my behalf in Portugese. I can highly recommend this company.

It was comforting to have worked with Pearls of Portugal this summer (2022) for the breathtaking vineyard our family purchased in Valenca do Douro. They are a great real estate resource, very efficient and accommodating, and appreciate how they connected us with their network of experts in law, the Golden Visa, and for building & design. I would like to acknowledge Frederik who we had initially connected with, also for assigning us to Jana who patiently helped with the search and addressed all of our concerns. But last but not the least, Helena who was our fantastic guide, representative and translator...

Thank you to Helena, Frederik and the rest of the Pearls team for making the process of purchasing an apartment in Portugal easy and seamless. They were a valuable resource in assisting us navigate the sometimes confusing and daunting task of purchasing property in a foreign country. All the professionals they recommended from the lawyers to the contractors were all very pleasant and genuinely eager to help us in any way. They even walked us through the process of transferring all the utilities to our name. We really could not have done this without them!

I am extremely happy with the service Frederik and his team provided. I think my buying process was one of the fastest in their company history but they were happy to work together at the pace I wanted to go. They gave me all the help and advice I needed, from finding listings, scheduling visits, information on bank account, to taxes. They also connected me with a construction company with which I will now do all the renovations work. I can highly recommend Pearls of Portugal.

Pearls of Portugal is truly a one of a kind real estate agency. I could not be more grateful to Helena, Lisa, Lays and Fredrik who were my team throughout my year-long unusual search for a farm in Portugal. This team is fast, dedicated, solution-oriented, knowledgeable and they truly care about their clients. Helena in particular is incredible, she accompanied me across all of Portugal from north to south - and with her help I was able to find the perfect property. She then supported me to check and close the paperwork...

We found their company referred on a forum For foreigners wanted to invest in Portugal. Lays was our main point of contact and she is very responsive and answered all of our questions on video and email and text. A lot of people don’t have the same communicative style and we were very grateful for her. Not being in the country ourselves, it was very helpful to work with Lays on securing property in Portugal. Once we did get there and had our list of properties to look at, Lays showed us around for three days. The very last one was the winner and thanks to her referral to lawyers everything got done and processed by the end of the year Before the Golden visa rules change. Highly recommended.
