Real experiences from real clients

Francisco Silva Amsterdam, Netherlands

Trustworthy, professional, transparent and always available to help and lead your acquisition process.

Portopolitan offered me a truly personalized experience when I turned to them to buy my first property.

Their consultants offered me end-to-end support, starting with the presentation of a curated property portfolio to suit my needs (truly customized and handpicked), property visits, bank financing analysis, CPCV and the final deed - which had a little setback from the bank's side, but promptly solved by Miguel and his team.

During my process I had to travel to the Netherlands for work, making it harder to solve a lot of bureaucracy with the banks and the government, but their team took care of it without making me worry for a second.

I'm considering making another investment in a near future, and will for sure turn out to them again.

Dean & Tom Rom Los Angeles, USA

I'm super happy I had the chance to get to know Miguel and Lee!

My journey with Portopolitan started by getting their help with the Portuguese ID and passport. 

We contacted on facebook and once we got to Porto and met Lee at the internal administration office we immediately felt safe. It took less than an hour to complete the whole process and a few days later me and my brother got the ID's and passports in our hands :)

While we were talking with Lee in that office he told us that they actually specialize in real estate investments and we got really curious.

 Long story short Miguel managed to arrange us a 5 properties tour while we were there for our short trip. We immediately fell in love with one of the properties and from that point Miguel did his best to get us the best deal possible with the most transparency and in the shortest time frame possible taking into consideration we did the whole process remotely including getting a bank account and a mortgage. We had the key in our hands the next time we flew to Porto, about 4 month after our first trip to this lovely city.

If you ever consider investing in Porto I'll be the first to recommend Portopolitan!

Barak K. Tel Aviv, Israel

I'm delighted to share my positive experience with Porto based Portopolitan. 

Their dedicated team provided exceptional service throughout the entire apartment buying process.
From insightful property recommendations to  negotiations, they exhibited professionalism and expertise. 

I'm grateful for their commitment to finding my ideal home, making the entire journey a pleasant and successful one.
Furthermore, they helped me open a Portuguese bank account which was a long and tiring process that they made simple and a lot less stressful than I anticipated.

I would also like to mention their commitment in guaranteeing my assurance with the process, whether through constant video calls or joining me in various meeting with the bank, management company or other agencies.

Lee, Miguel and Mafalda were exceptional and knowledgeable in their field and even after the process is finished I still find myself contacting them for advice which they are always happily provide.

Gad & Rita Eliav Bat Yam, Israel

Many companies in Porto offer such services, and it was crucial for me to identify the most responsive and trustworthy company.

Of all the companies I contacted, one stood out – Portopolitan. The professional service, responsiveness, and transparency I received from their team were superb. Miguel and Mafalda from Portopolitan presented a comprehensive analysis of Porto, opportunities, and a thorough examination of long-term and short-term rentals for each prospect.

Within a few days, Portopolitan organized visits to five (!) properties that aligned with my expectations and provided a complete marketing analysis and financial plan for each one. With all this information, I was convinced that Portopolitan was the company I could trust.

During my trip, I saw more properties, but those viewed with Mafalda and Mathilde from Portopolitan matched my expectations better. Eventually, I found myself torn between two excellent properties. With Portopolitan's help, we analyzed the pros and cons and settled on a property in the city center that precisely matched the location and budget I was targeting.

Soon, we signed the CPCV and scheduled a date to open a local bank account and sign the Deed. Both activities required my presence, leading to another trip to Porto. I faced the prospect of not being able to travel and sign the Deed on time, jeopardizing a great deal.

Once again, the exceptional Portopolitan team came to my aid, finding a solution to this complicated situation. Through their outstanding efforts, we managed to open the bank account and sign the Deed, making me the proud owner of a new property in Porto.

Miguel, Mafalda, Matilde – I couldn't have done it without your incredible professional assistance. THANK YOU!

Lior and Keren Cohen Tel Aviv, Israel

Working with Portopolitan was honestly one of the best decisions we made. They helped us through the whole process , buying, decorating, and getting our apartment in Porto ready for short-term rental.

Since we don’t live in Portugal and had to handle everything from abroad, it was super important for us to have a team we could really trust, and they proved to be exactly that.

The team is professional, always available, and gave us great advice that kept us focused on what matters. The result is an apartment that turned out even better than we imagined, stylish, comfortable, and ready to welcome guests.

We truly recommend Portopolitan to anyone looking for reliable and skilled partners in Porto.

Yoram Goldberg Tel Aviv, Israel

Miguel, Mafalda and Lee immediately gave us the feeling that we were in good hands, and made the purchase of a property in Portugal accessible for us. 

We met dedicated, reliable, warm and kind people. They accompanied us throughout the entire purchase process. Which included defining our needs, opening a bank account, locating potential properties, financial and geographic analysis of each property, managing the negotiations on the property, legal registration, and help in finding a management company. 

Working with Miguel, Mafalda, and Lee was characterized by professionalism, patience, generosity and diligence. Throughout the process the contact was immediate and continuous. 

We wholeheartedly recommend them and hope to continue working with them. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

Pedro Fernandes London, UK

I bought my first investment property with Portopolitan and couldn’t be more satisfied. The entire process was carried out remotely, as I live in the UK, and Miguel and his team were always present, supporting me through every step: from mortgage proposals, property search and viewings, to property management support and liaising with an accountant. They were literally with me through every step pf the process, and we managed to close an excellent deal in a very short time. I always felt well advised and I highly recommend Portopolitan!

You have the goal
we make it happen!
