A young remote-working couple who preferred a calm, nature-friendly area over city life — and wanted to start their search while still out of Portugal. We handled the search and viewings remotely, giving detailed video tours of both the apartments and surrounding areas. They chose a fully furnished T1 apartment in Almada. To strengthen the application, we prepared a custom presentation about the couple — and they were chosen out of 177 applicants! The entire process took just 2 weeks and was handled remotely — Alex and Nicole only needed to be present to sign the contract and collect the keys.
