Testimonials

Professionalism and innovation
"I worked with Ricardo when I bought my farm last spring. I found him professional, friendly and extremely helpful! I love his commitment to his customers and his innovative thinking. He helped me find the home I had visualized, and he's the "do-it-guy" with a true "can do" attitude. Carla, is a gem, and has been so kind and patient with me when I pass by the office with one more question! I highly recommend this company."

 
 
 
 
 
Persistence that generates results
"As a lawyer I have worked over the years with many real estate agents. This time it was up to me to occupy an unusual place, that of a customer. I can only say that Ricardo's perseverance and dedication were decisive for the deal to come to fruition. The first  few times we spoke, he promised me something I won't forget: that he never gave up, that he was a fighter. And that we were going to make it. And we did it! Thank you and much success to you, Ricardo, and to your startup Local Properties!"
 
Deal successfully completed
"We bought a property in the center of the city of Lagos through your real estate agency. The deal only came to fruition because Ricardo was exhaustively involved in its completion, from the time he presented the deal to us until the deed, also taking care of all the bureaucratic details. We have no hesitation in recommending your services."
 
Full 360º service

"Ricardo has helped me on several occasions to find and buy high-value properties in the Algarve. Not only did he sell me the properties, but he went with me to the bank to make the correct checks to the sellers, but he also took me to the notary offices to finalize the transactions. He also took me to the respective local tax departments to pay all relevant fees and register me as a local resident. Then he helped me register a property as AL – for legal holiday rentals – and also helped me take care of the water and electricity connections within a few days. In addition, it helped me get an excellent construction team to make the changes I needed to make to a property at an excellent cost. Ricardo also helped me organize my very complex residency in Portugal with SEF (emigration/nationalization). He and his lovely family made my move to the Algarve a great and rewarding experience. They have recently opened their own real estate agency, Local Properties,  conveniently situated next to Lagos City Hall and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in buying in the areas they cover."

 
 
Integrity and persistence
"The services provided by Ricardo were extremely valuable to complete the purchase of a property in Sagres. He showed great patience as the process lasted over a year, but fundamentally it was his integrity that kept me satisfied with his work. He works for the client. Very grateful."
 
Support for foreign buyers
"I would like to thank Ricardo and his team at Local Properties, for helping to buy my dream apartment in Lagos, he made everything so easy and gave great advice and support throughout the process. It's so important to have someone like Ricardo help with the process when you're not from Portugal, he even hired a contractor to take care of a project for us. Thank you again Ricardo and his team for everything they have done."

Sold in just 3 months
"As a seller and following the process of selling the house located in Vila do Bispo, Monte de Santo António, I would like to leave my testimony with regard to the efficiency and monitoring in the process of selling it that the service provided by Local Properties was excellent. The entire process was constantly monitored between me and the buyer through the employees Cláudia and Bruno who  efficiently provided an excellent service until the day of the deed. The speed in the sale of the property is also highlighted in this testimony, so after raising the number of visits to the property increased and the sale took place within 3 months. Many thanks to Local Properties and its 5-star employees.

"From my very first contact with Local Properties, Lita, the communication and reassurance was fantastic! Raul was my specific representative and his communication and professionalism throughout the whole process of sale was impeccable. As I was not in Portugal for the early part of the processes involved, viewings etc. Raul was in constant contact and kept me completely updated. Raul organised any paperwork necessary and the whole team made it such a smooth and stress free experience. Really went above and beyond to sort everything out on my behalf. I can not recommend this team highly enough and having lived and worked in Lagos with my own experience in Property these guys are exceptional! I am very grateful for their help and support! All the best for the team there for the future! Kindest regards and thank you to all!"
