Pearls of Portugal

When my wife and I decided return to Portugal after 15 years in the Seattle area, we knew that one of the most difficult issues would be finding housing we liked in a location we wanted to, and to rent it sight unseen from the States. Dona Tatiana of Pearls of Portugal is herself a gem, supporting us at every step of the relatively difficult process. After some initial glitches regarding getting the services set up (water, electricity, television, and gas are all separate contracts here, and only the electricity was on when we arrived), we are now comfortably ensconced in a nice three bedroom apartment barely a hundred meters from the Sanctuary. Dona Tatiana’s service and assistance were exemplary, and I recommend her highly to anyone hoping to move to Portugal.

My husband Philip and I worked with Pearls of Portugal in our search for a suitable property for our tourism project, and we could not be happier with the experience. Our goal was to have a reliable partner to represent us in negotiations and guide us through the entire process – and they did exactly that. From the property viewings to the signing of the contract, we were supported in a highly professional and very personal way. We would especially like to highlight Helena for her dedication, patience and genuine warmth. Communication was excellent (many Zoom calls, fast responses, always available), and the network they provided – especially the lawyer – was outstanding ;))Thank you Nuno Within five to six months, we found the right property and established a company. Without Pearls of Portugal, this would not have been possible so fast.We are extremely satisfied and can truly recommend them. Thank you Martina&Philip

I have worked with Pearls of Portugal and must say they are really very professional & do an excellent job. In my case it was for seeking an apartment for rental and especially Tatiana tried very hard & finally the result was most successful. I would always recommend Pearls of Portugal and especially Tatiana to someone looking for an apartment in Portugal. Regards - Ralf

Trying to find a great apartment in a place you’ve never been when all you can do is look at pictures sounds impossible, doesn’t it? However, that’s exactly what Pearls of Portugal is there to help you do, and they do it with efficiency, caring, and great style. Ana Pinho was there for us every step of the way, finding a great place for us and our dogs, doing all the negotiations with the landlord, and answering all our questions. When we needed a banker, she connected us there as well, and we respected her suggestions so much that we also used the immigration attorney she recommended. Emigrating to Portugal is certainly full of challenges, but Ana and the team at Pearls have made many of our steps so much easier. Muito obrigada, Pearls of Portugal!

We were so glad we had a complete team of professionals with Pearls of Portugal on our side from day 1 of our journey to moving to Portugal. For an affordable fee they assisted us with all aspects including NIF, bank account, immigration , finding and buying a home, getting a mortgage, legal representation, setting up our house with utilities and internet, referral for a dog relocation company and so much more! Plus, simply kind, local advice. When we arrived in Porto they were waiting for us with directions to our new home, keys to the house and a sweet gift. So a big thank you to Frederick, Helena, Lidia, Tatiana, Pedro, Nuno, Raphael and more! A move like this is so complicated, do not try to do it alone. Pearls of Portugal has the team you need!
