Pearls of Portugal

Pearls of Portugal was incredibly helpful in finding our rental home and negotiating the rental terms. We also benefited from their network, which connected us with an accountant, a mortgage advisor, and a utility intermediary. Thanks to their guidance and support, we are starting our new adventure with confidence. Thank you so much, Tatiana! 🙂

I had a wonderful experience with Pearls of Portugal finding a rental in Porto, and in my favorite neighborhood! Very dedicated and friendly team who knows the market inside out. I especially want to thank Tatiana for helping me throughout the process from initial touch base, suggesting listings based on my preferences, walking through my concerns, coordinating viewings, negotiation on contracts, signing, and utility setup. Tatiana is so efficient, professional, patient and knowledgeable. She really helped me navigate the entire process with ease and often instantly solve any issues I had related to coordination. It’s a lot of weight off my shoulder especially for someone like me who is in Portugal the first time and still learning the language. I’m glad and relieved that I chose Pearls of Portugal for the process, from the first chat with Frederik, I realized that it’s a team that has a heart and I can trust, which sets them apart from other services I contacted instantly. I would highly recommend them!

We had a truly excellent experience with Pearls of Portugal and could not be happier with the support we received throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, everything was handled in a highly professional, structured, and reassuring way. Buying property in another country can be stressful, but the team made it feel smooth and well-managed at every step. A very special thank you to Tatiana — she was simply outstanding. Always available, incredibly responsive, and genuinely supportive. No question was ever too small, and she guided us with patience, clarity, and care throughout the whole journey. It really felt like we had someone on our side at all times. We would also like to thank Nuno, the lawyer, for his exceptional work. The due diligence was extremely thorough and gave us a very strong sense of security and trust in the process. And a big thank you as well to the architect involved — the level of detail and care in checking everything was impressive and gave us additional confidence in our decision. Overall, the entire team worked together seamlessly, combining professionalism with a very personal approach. We are very happy with our new home and would absolutely recommend Pearls of Portugal to anyone looking to buy property in Portugal. They truly make a complicated process feel simple and safe. Thank you again to the whole team!

Here’s a review for people who are looking to rent a place in Portugal, rather than buy. I worked with Pearls of Portugal in September of 2025, when I was looking for an apartment in Coimbra as part of a visa application. They are easy to contact via email and WhatsApp. After you arrive in Portugal for apartment-hunting, they set you up with an account on their online dashboard, which shows you prospective properties that fall within a criteria you set, and you can yes or no them after you review the various listings. For the listings you choose, Pearls of Portugal takes care of setting up appointments with the respective property managers, and tells you where and when you need to be to tour them in-person. For the listings I chose, it was easy to walk or Uber to them from where I was staying. Where Pearls of Portugal really excelled for me was their advocacy for me as a renter after I chose a place. Their attorney thoroughly reviewed the lease, found stipulations in the lease that had legal issues, and followed up with the property manager to get those corrected. The value of this assistance cannot be understated; Put it this way, unless you are a licensed attorney in Portugal who knows Portuguese property law, you will need this service. Once the details were settled, Pearls of Portugal facilitated the signing of the lease online, and took care of registering the lease with Portugal Ministry of Finance, which is also needed for a visa application. Overall, I had a great experience with Pearls of Portugal and would happily work with them again.

I cannot imagine having to go through the process of finding the perfect home without Pearls of Portugal. We are very thankful for Ana and her team for their patience and dedication to helping us achieve our goal. Ana was always patient with all of our questions, helping us to understand the process. Through Pearls we were connected to the right people for our visas, the real estate financing and purchasing process and setting up utilities. I recommend Pearls for anyone immigrating to Portugal. The investment is worth the peace of mind it brings navigating the complexities of the process.
