I would like to express my appreciation to Carolina in supporting me throughout the buying process in a country where I was new to the process. After the purchase, Carolina went out of her way to assist me with organizing a locksmith and with trying to organize some items needed for the apartment. It was a great help for me. I certainly can recommend Carolina for her support and her positive attitude in supporting a new home owner.

Many thanks to our broker Roshni Matharu. We reviewed a huge number of options that Roshni was tirelessly selecting for us. We had complex requirements for the selection of real estate. Roshni is a true professional, customer-oriented. Roshni was constantly in touch with us - both late in the evening and on weekends. This illustrates her dedication to the work and the task at hand. Largerly thanks to Roshni, we became the happy owners of a wonderful house on the seashore in an excellent location with excellent infrastructure. Roshni Matharu is a broker that we would be very happy to recommend to our friends and to anybody. Thanks to her high professional level, huge experience in real estate business, initiative, optimism, attentiveness, we got great pleasure to be her clients.

Nous cherchions une belle maison avec une vue maritime dégagée dans un environnement agréable et chaud lorsqu'il fait froid et gris en France. Nous avons parcouru différents pays aux climats méditerranéens pendant 18 mois et visité plus de 200 maisons.
Pendant ce parcours long, nous avons tout particulièrement apprécié d'être  accompagnés par les conseils judicieux d'Exclusive Algarve Villas et de ses partenaires.
Nous remercions Bart d'avoir toujours répondu très rapidement à nos questions et de nous avoir prodigué de forts utiles conseils.

Exclusive Algarve Villas constitue une référence pour nous ici en Algarve. En effet, avec beaucoup de patience et de réactivité Bart, Petronella, Marcella vous nous avez permis de trouver enfin notre lieu de retraite dans ce joli coin d’Europe du sud. 
Nous étions las de chercher et de faire des visites avec d’autres agences (...sans toujours beaucoup de rapport avec notre cahier des charges) et, enfin, vous nous avez permis de trouver la maison dans laquelle nous vivons aujourd’hui. 
Quelque soit la question il y a toujours Bart pour répondre de manière très pro active et ceci pour nous est un gage de sérieux et de professionnalisme ! 
Soyez remerciés pour la prestation que vous avez livré.

Having spent the last 2 years looking for our ‘Place in the Sun” we consider ourselves fortunate to have come across Bart and the team at Exclusive Algarve Villas.

They are without question the most efficient and professional of all the agents we have encountered on the Algarve. 

They not only found the property we eventually bought but also helped massively with the negotiation process.

I would recommend without hesitation that you use them to help you find your new property.

When we decided to search a property in Algarve, we visited many websites before discovering this one.
During the whole process, we were comfortable talking with Bart and appreciated the insight he had into the areas we considered.
We particularly liked the pre-screening Bart made before our visits as we didn’t have plenty time (Short trips from Belgium). 
The service was outstanding and we look forward to maintaining a positive and productive relationship in the future with Exclusive Algarve villas for the renting of the house.

Needless to say, we highly recommend your services.

My wife and I met Michiel from Exclusive Algarve Villas in July 2012 when we viewed a number of villas and apartments in the Vale do Lobo area.
He was extremely professional, helpful and friendly and showed us around an excellent variety of properties.
We are now very happy owners of a townhouse and would like to thank Michiel for all his assistance in finding our house and the subsequent negotiations.
We really cannot believe how smooth and hassle free the experience has been. We have no hesitation in recommending Exclusive Algarve Villas to anyone wanting to buy a property in the area. 

Bart assisted us in our search for a house in the western Algarve.

The support Bart and his Exclusive Algarve Villas team gave us , during the search and also after we bought the house was perfect.

Bart knows the algarve house market very well and brought us to all the right people, always with a smile. That gave is a very secure feeling, which is necessary considering the large distance between home and the algarve. We already bought real-estate before but Bart and Exclusive Algarve Villas gave us the best service of all, offering that bit extra .

Thanks a lot,

Bart heeft ons eind 2021 geholpen naar het vinden van ons droomhuis. Bart is een zeer prettige en betrokken makelaar. Heeft veel kennis van zaken, is op de hoogte van alle ins en outs en kon ons daarom goed informeren over hoe de zaken in Portugal gaan wb aankoop van een huis. Van het begin tot het eind heeft hij ons goed begeleid en onze belangen behartigd. Hij is goed bereikbaar, komt zijn afspraken na en is zeer betrouwbaar. Ik zou iedereen die dezelfde stap wil maken Bart willen adviseren.

Exclusive Algarve Villas… De naam schrok me in eerste instantie wat af.
Eens de drempel genomen: het eerste contact met (Bart van Linden) zat onmiddellijk snor. 
Duidelijk, concreet: to the point.
Altijd behulpzaam; niets was hem teveel: ’s avonds, weekend, altijd was Bart bereikbaar en ter beschikking. 
Ook voor vragen van meer praktische aard kan je steeds bij Bart terecht; en omtrent de eerste stappen in een ander land is deze ‘bijstand’ bijzonder praktisch en welkom. 
exclusive Algarve Villas …  à een (echte!) aanrader. 
Marcela & Bart: tot gauw!

I really want to thank you, for being such a great support by buying our Townhouse in Alporchinhos!! You are really nice people, and that is always a pleasure to deal with.

Everything has been well taken care off, and we are enjoying the house every time we are in Portugal!!

Thanks again, and see you soon.

We just want to share how pleased we are with all the effort and patience Melissa (Oliveira) gave us in finding a new place in Lagos.

I think we have found the things we were looking for and then the best view and location of Lagos.

We recommended Melissa to all our friends. Thanks and we stay in touch

Exclusive Algarve Villas provided an outstanding service on our recent purchase in the Algarve.

They were extremely friendly, efficient and eager to please.

We would recommend them to anyone.

 

I decided to buy a property in the Lagos area, without knowing it at all well. I contacted a number of estate agents, giving them my visit dates and budget with a short brief of requirements, e.g. sea views. Melissa at Exclusive Algarve responded very professionally, and assembled a number of properties for me to view on-line... She set up for us to see all of them over the course of my visit. She checked the bona fides of the builder and assisted the negotiation. A price was agreed. She was highly attentive throughout the sales process, and we are now happily installed in our property.
Should I buy again, I will only go through Melissa, and would recommend her to anyone with a similar situation.

Thank you for all your hard work showing us around last year. It was refreshing to have someone that made such an effort to understand what it was we wanted to see, rather than just showing us all the properties on your books. During our time with you we were offered meaningful guidance and advice and at no time did we fell under pressure to buy. We would also like to thank you for guiding us through the buying process and introducing us to the lawyer, the bank, the fiscal adviser etc.

We would certainly recommend Exclusive Algarve Villas to our friends.

Gern möchten wir Ihnen unsere Erfahrungen betreffend des Kaufes einer Ihrer wunderbaren  Exclusive Algarve Villas  mit Frau Petronella Ennneking mitteilen. 
Zunächst einmal möchten wir uns von ganzem Herzen bei dem gesamten Team bedanken, dass uns in sehr hervorragender Weise unterstützt hat, diese Villa zu erwerben... Besonders zu erwähnen ist, dass Frau Petronella auch nach dem Kauf "aftersales" Service praktizierte, der uns als  Newcomer in Portugal sehr hilfreich war.

Wir würden jederzeit wieder eine Villa mit ihr kaufen.   Good Job! Thank you Peggy! 
Liebe Grüße Karina und Rüdiger 

Wij willen Michiel Kramer bedanken voor zijn inspanningen en goede zorg bij de aankoop in 2011 van onze villa in Vilas Alvas.
In onze zoektocht naar een woning in de Algarve kwam Michiel met een locatie waar wij helemaal niet naar gekeken hadden, maar welke wel perfect aan onze wensen voldeed. 
Tijdens de 1e bezichtiging liet Michiel ons niet alleen de villa zien, maar nam ook de tijd om de nabije omgeving te laten zien. Hierdoor kregen wij een heel goed beeld waar wij terecht zouden komen.Aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een woning in de Algarve, zullen wij zeker Michiel aanbevelen voor de begeleiding bij de aankoop van vastgoed. 
 Michiel nogmaals bedankt

Bart van Linden heeft getoond een hardwerkende en actieve makelaar te zijn. Hij is ons op een correcte manier van dienst geweest. Ook de administratieve begeleiding verliep zonder hapering en dat zegt wat in Portugal. Hij bewijst dat je met uitgebreide zichtbaarheid op het internet tegenwoordig veel potentiële klanten bereikt.

Exclusive Algarve Villas staat voor ' Exclusive Personal Service and Attention.
Onze ervaring met Bart en Melissa was bijzonder aangenaam in de zoektocht naar een mooi huis in de Algarve.
Gedreven mensen, waar niets teveel moeite is en waar Service en Dienstverlening nog echt met hoofdletters worden geschreven!
Waarbij de dienstverlening veeeeeeeeel verder gaat dan je in eerste instantie zou verwachten, en men altijd bereikbaar is voor vragen, ongeacht dikwijls het tijdstip of dag v.d. week. Bijzonder aangenaam wanneer je dikwijls slechts voor een kortere periode naar de Algarve komt weet Bart altijd wel tijd te vinden. Wellicht het meest aangename aan onze zoektocht in de Algarve was het feit dat we deze mensen hebben leren kennen. Vakmensen met ' hart' voor hun zaak en klanten, Chapeau Exclusive Algarve Villas! 

Dealing with Exclusive Algarve Villas with the purchase of our new home has been an absolute pleasure. From the initial professional approach to viewings through to the final transfer a high level of attentiveness and responsiveness was evident. They attended to everything, from preparing the schedule of movables to inspecting the property before we took transfer. Living overseas, we were concerned that the transfer of the property would be problematic but we were wrong, Exclusive Algarve Villas made sure everything ran smoothly.

 

Marcela is a very competent and dedicated Agent. Thanks to her we bought perhaps the best sea view in Algarve.

Thank you Marcela

Melanie was of great assistance in finding a property in the Algarve, carefully listening to our needs and indeed giving us additional ideas. She followed up with multiple options and tirelessly helped us through the entire process and even beyond and we would recommend her for her tenacity and patience. Thanks for helping us find our perfect location Melanie.

My wife and I had a dream of a home in the Algarve that would meet our needs as we got older. We found that place in 2007 with Bart and Marcela at Exclusive Algarve Villas help and we enjoyed every moment of our time in the Algarve over the years.

When circumstances changed in 2012 we turned Bart and Marcela again to sell our home which they did and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for all there help.

Bart Van Linden heeft ons op zeer aangename, efficiënte en snelle wijze geholpen om onze droomstek in de Algarve aan te kopen. Hij vertaalde perfect onze wensen naar een intens programma van enkele dagen van bezoeken aan die sites die aan onze wensen voldeden. Hij deed dat met constante bijsturing van de te bezoeken sites, in functie van onze feedback. Zonder druk, zonder haast, en telkens met vermelding van pro’s en contra’s. Het was prettig zakendoen.

Recently we bought a house around Carvoeiro with the aid of Bart from Exclusive Algarve Villas.

Bart was really dedicated in our quest for a house and gave us immediately a good and correct idea of the priced and which value for money we can get. He guided us very good without being pushy for selling a house. He was very patient and we could unconditionnaly rely on him. 

We are very grateful and lucky now and i wish the whole team a prosperous future en this beautful region.

We would personally like to thank you and all the staff at Exclusive Algarve Villas for the help, support and guidance you gave us during the recent purchase of our villa in Portimao.  We have all read many horror stories related to buying a property abroad but, thanks to the support of you and your team, we are not one of those stories.
You have then continued to help us AFTER THE SALE by providing us with recommendations for architects and builders to help us complete our proposed refurbishment project.
You have our warmest regards and recommendation for anyone looking to purchase overseas.
Please don’t forget to come and visit.

Ik heb zojuist de vele reacties gelezen op jullie website en die waren zoals te verwachten uitmuntend. Dat klopt ook met het gevoel wat Jeannette en ik hebben over jullie geweldige service. Zowel de gesprekken en de goede begeleiding voor de verkoop van Onze Villa, wat jammer genoeg niet door jullie werd gerealiseerd, gaven een goed gevoel. Wij waren dan ook blij dat wij elkaar weer tegen kwamen voor de aankoop van ons nieuwe huis waar jullie ons fantastisch mee hebben geholpen. Alles werd zeer professioneel en betrouwbaar afgehandeld. Exclusive Algarve Villas is een echte aanrader die wij u zeker kunnen aanbevelen.

My husband and I  recently purchased a villa in Lagos, which was marketed by  Exclusive Algarve Villas
Melissa Oliveira dealt  with the sale  on behalf of the vendors.
We would like to say how professional and efficient Melissa has been, and how pleasant and personable she has been with us.
We encountered a few complications, but Melissa helped us through everything.

Will have no hesitation in recommending both Melissa and your company

Há vários anos que trabalhamos de perto com o Michiel Kramer na área da consultoria imobiliária no Algarve.
Consideramo-lo um excelente profissional, conhecedor do mercado imobiliário,  mostrando-se sempre empenhado em satisfazer os interesses dos clientes com a maior  honestidade.
Ele e toda a equipa do Exclusive Algarve Villas, oferecem um acompanhamento permanente, personalizado e de qualidade aos seus clientes.

Bonjour, 
Nous avons acheté une villa dans la région de Portimao. Ce bien nous a été présenté par Exclusive Algarve Villas. Cette agence a bien compris ce que nous recherchions, son efficacité et sa réactivé, nous a permis de négocier au mieux cet achat. 

En un mot un grand confort d’acquisition.

Merci plus particulièrement à Melissa qui avec sa gentillesse, son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité, nous a permis de devenir propriétaire au Portugal. 

We would not hesitate to recommend Exclusive Algarve Villas.

They have an excellent selection of properties and are extremely friendly and helpful as well. 

We did not feel pressured in any way and they were also there for us through the whole process which is important. 

We now own a stunning property which we were able (with their help) to negotiate at a very attractive price. 

 

Beste Petronella, 

Wat kunnen we nog toevoegen aan de bestaande testimonials ? 
Ze zijn correct en zeker niet overdreven , net wat wij ook ervaren hebben bij jij en Bart , geen druk, geen haast, en luisteren naar onze wensen. 
Mijn echtgenote is zelf makelaar en weet dus dat de manier van werken (vooral in België) meestal zo NIET is … wij waren zeer argwanend , geheel ten onrechte, het kon niet beter verlopen zijn. 
En als toetje ; de perfecte verkoper , correct tot de laatste mm. ook nà de verkoop ! 

Over a period of 1 year we have bought 1 plot and 1 villa through Exclusive Algarve Villas. 

Both initial purchases and all recommendations, as choice of architect, coordination with our bank and lawyer and other practical guidance in association with the deals have been proven promising and correct.

Melissa Oliveira is very professional and we felt comfortable in both deals. We can strongly recommend Melissa and we will certainly make use of her services again in the future.

Pestana Golf have worked with Exclusive Algarve Villas for many years now and we have been impressed by the level of transparency in their work and degree of customer satisfaction seen in the clients they introduce. 

May 2011, we decided to purchase a villa in Portugal in the Algarve. Linda and I listed all the criteria which were essential requirements; we also made a separate list with other requirements, which if not critical, were nevertheless desired. We studied in detail the web sites of the various agencies between Faro and Portimao and contacted the main ones. Many e-mails were exchanged during which we finalized our main requirements, our desired ones and our available budget. The next step was to travel to the Algarve to purchase the villa. Working with Bart is a real pleasure, and we certainly recommend using his services to purchase property in the Algarve.

We recently purchased a villa near Lagoa through Exclusive Algarve Villas and found the everybody connected to the company so helpful. We were able to view our property on a Sunday, which helped us immensely as time is always at a premium when you travel from the UK,a second viewing was organised for us at very short notice and Bart Van Linden and Rhona helped us through the formalities. Rhona has been great with her advice on the practical things, we still feel, some 6 weeks later that if we had any "after care problems" we could ask for advice from any of the friendly staff at Exclusive Algarve Villas. 

Last week we completed the purchase of our new property, through out this process we have had the excellent support and guidance of Roshni. She has repeatedly gone above and beyond, taking calls and emails out of hrs and at weekends. I have my own business employing a large number of people, so therefore I know from first hand experience how hard and indeed rare it is to find someone of Roshin’s abilities, dedication and skill. I’m sure you know all this but also know I would give a job in an instant!

Bart heeft ons perfect geholpen bij de verkoop van ons pand in Lissabon.

Niet alleen heeft hij in zeer korte tijd vanuit zijn netwerk een ( buitenlandse) investeerder gevonden, maar tevens heeft Bart ons zeer sterk ondersteund bij het afhandelen van de overdracht. Dat is met name gelet op de Portugese taal, maar ook mentaliteit van essentieel belang geweest om tot overdracht te komen. Om dit zonder de hulp van een expert als Bart te moeten doen is zeer complex en leid tot fouten.

We kunnen Bart van harte aanbevelen als u in de Algarve, of zoals wij in een ander deel van Portugal vastgoed wil aan-of verkopen.

We would like to personally thank Bart of Exclusive Algarve Villas for his professional and friendly help, handling and guidance of our recent purchase of our lovely Villa in the Algarve.
The whole experience was made easy by Bart and the team with lots of great help and advice from start to finish.

Thank you for providing an excellent and friendly service during the viewings and negotiations and giving us confidence to secure this purchase.
We would recommend Bart and Exclusive Algarve Villas to anyone looking for a property with the Algarve.
Hope to keep in touch.

Seduced by the bright and wonderful Algarve region and looking out for a spot under the Portuguese sun , we were lucky to get in contact with the Exclusive Algarve Villas agency near the end of 2013.
Michiel Kramer and Bart van Linden proposed a number of qualitative possibilities, all very much in line with our outlined preferences.   After just a few days of intensive looking around with the help of Michiel and Bart, we were able to pick the almost ideal cherry and felt, of course, delighted (we still do now).

This is a very trustful and competent team for making your Algarve dream to become a reality ! 

After many years of visiting the Algarve, we decided in 2012 to start looking for a more permanent residence . While in the Algarve during September , an internet search led us to Exclusive Algarve Villas. Our e-mail request for info was responded to within 30 minutes... Based on our initial thoughts Michiel organised some visits  to give us  a firsthand impression of properties, possibly meeting our requirements. We expanded the geographic area of our search and with the involvement of Bart we finally landed at Vale da Pinta golf resort.

We look back to a very positive experience in dealing with Exclusive Algarve Villas  and can recommend them to any prospective buyers seeking professional assistance.

Dear Bart. 

Carole and I would like to thank you and your team at Exclusive Algarve Villas  for all your help and assistance over the past few months.

Without doubt you have “gone the extra mile” in helping us to secure our dream villa in the Algarve.

 

Our dealings with Melissa continue to be a pleasure. At our first meeting she understood our requirements precisely and arranged further viewings to exactly meet our brief.  We found the perfect location and property by buying off plan which we would not have considered doing if it was not for our trust in Melissa. 

Melissa has provided us with updates on the progress of the build throughout and helped us with all the buying process. At all times she has provided the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness and we are extremely grateful for the assistance she continues to provide and look forward to keeping in touch with her.

We travelled to the Algarve, having never visited before, intent on finding our forever home in this beautiful part of the world. On the second day we met Bart and members of his team and were immediately struck by the courtesy, efficiency and professional attitude of everybody that we met. Nothing was too much trouble.

Despite the severe lack of inventory in the whole region, we were shown several suitable properties, and eventually Bart introduced us to exactly the home we were looking for. While facing some very challenging negotiations, we managed to purchase the property within 2 weeks - due in no small part to the valuable assistance of Bart and his team. Even now, several months after the completion of the purchase, I am still in contact with Bart, who is always happy to assist with any general questions concerning life in the Algarve. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Exclusive Algarve Villas to anybody looking to purchase or sell property in this region.

Buying a property abroad can be very daunting – initially its finding the right property but its also about having the confidence in the person you are dealing with. Melanie has been the perfect agent for me, reassuring when required, full of information and detail on the area that I was buying in; also in the finer detail of the purchase, legal requirements, what to look out for; from start to finish my experience of buying a property in Portugal has been a very pleasant one, and that is all down to Melanie. Professional, responsive, engaging and hugely knowledgeable.
Thank you Melanie

We would like to thank you and Marcella for all the efforts and patience you put into us in finding our new home, a new milestone in our life. It took a while (close to 12 months) before we decided and reached an agreement with the sellers, but you were always there to help and provide answers to all our questions. 

We can absolutely recommend Bart and the Exclusive Algarve Villas team to everyone looking to buy a property in Portugal. 

Thanks again and hope to see you both in spring when we move to our new home.

We were looking for a plot in the Algarve region and accidentally come into contact with Exclusive Algarve Villas. We have met so brokers in the area, but Bart with his team at EAV really understand how to bring buyers and sellers together. He put us in touch with Melissa, who was very helpful and showed us the opportunities in the area, where we bought our dream plot with her assistance. After sale service was even better. Melissa was always very accessible and very proactive to share her contacts with us to make our dreamteam, which really is what you need as a foreigner. We really liked the professional team of EAV and will certainly recommend them.

We have recently purchased our dream holiday home through Exclusive Algarve Villas  based in Portugal. Throughout the whole process, we received an excellent service which helped to alleviate any fears we may had about purchasing a property abroad. The staff were supportive, courteous, professional and kept us informed at all stages of the process. I have no hesitation in recommending Exclusive Algarve Villas if you are considering buying a property in Portugal.  

It has taken a while and we have visited a lot of houses. Melissa was always helpful, patient and a reliable source of information.
So finally, we have found what we have been looking for and we are grateful for the assistance.

I’m sure we will do more business together.

Hi Susana. First of all, I want to thank you for all your help in selling this property. I am glad this is off our hands now. Rest assured, if my husband and I decide to purchase property in Portugal, we will be contacting you. We plan on going to Portugal next Spring to see what is available and what might interest us. (...) Anyway, once again, I cannot express enough our gratitude for your assistance. If there is anything else that you need from me, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Again, it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you. Hopefully, we will see each other soon.

Wij hadden een zeer positieve ervaring met Exclusive Algarve Villas

De service die zij verlenen is werkelijk uitstekend zowel bij het vinden van een geschikt eigendom als bij de aankoop maar bovendien ook na de aankoop

Alles verloopt efficiënt en snel en op een aangename en vriendelijke manier

Dank u Marcella, Melissa en Bart

Dear Michiel,

Thank you for your professional assistance in finding our properties in Vale do Lobo.
We are enjoying the lifestyle here every time we visit!
We have appreciated your help and excellent service. 
We wish you and the team at Exclusive Algarve Villas all the best for the future and hope to get together soon for a dinner or a round of golf!

Our search for the perfect villa commenced in Nov/Dec last year when we contacted Exclusive Algarve Villas , who immediately recommended a number of suitable properties which met our criteria and price range.
On each occasion they provided excellent advice, pointing out the ‘pros and cons’ of each villa and helped us enormously to narrow our choice.
Exclusive Algarve Villas demonstrated great professionalism throughout the entire purchasing process and beyond, including assistance with appointing a property maintenance company and interior designer. 

May I take this opportunity to congratulate your company on having such Professional and helpful Sales Agent in Roshni. From our original contact with your company she went out of her way to help us in our search for our dream home in the sun, she listened to our needs and wishes and lined up properties that fitted the brief exactly.

Any contact by email, telephone or messaging whether day, night or weekend was answered swiftly and politely, setting out answers to our queries. During our visit to the Algarve she fully accompanied us answering all our questions, going out of her way to show us things such as the easiest and quickest way to walk to the marina from given properties, and the best local restaurants. Also going a step further she introduced us and drove us to a Lawyer who was first class and closed the sale in just under 5 weeks.

She is a credit to your business, a Sales Agent who lets professionalism and the stunning properties sell themselves without the need for any hard sell or pressure. We look forward to our time in resort and have no doubt if we need any real estate advice or services we will contact Roshni at Exclusive Algarve first. Thank you for all your assistance

In de veronderstelling dat het zo’n vaart niet zou lopen liet ik mij eind januari 2014 door mijn vrouw overhalen een paar dagen naar de Algarve te gaan om eens geheel vrijblijvend een aantal huizen te gaan bekijken. 
In dit geval ben ik echter buiten de waard (lees de heer Kramer) gerekend, die zelfs mij heeft weten te overtuigen dat zelf een huis bezitten in de Algarve en dan in of in de buurt van Vale do Lobo en Quinta do Lago, waar hij als makelaar actief is, nog niet zo gek is.
Op basis van de door mijn vrouw geuite wensen heeft Michiel een aantal huizen getoond die qua grootte en ligging geschikt waren en toen een daarvan precies het huis was, waarvan zij al zo vaak had gedroomd, namen mijn overlevingskansen ernstig af.

From the start of our purchasing journey Melissa at Exclusive Algarve has not only exceeded all expectations on service and professionalism but has helped guide us through the process, which was unknown to us as British buyers.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Melissa and EAV.

A very professional service and they have demonstrated on numerous occasions that they were prepared to go the extra distance to help my wife and I as buyers.

We have no hesitation in recommending their service. 

We can only thank our good fortune that we came into contact with Melissa Oliveira upon our journey on finding a future home in the Algarve. We are convinced that if it were not for Melissa, we would still be looking and dreaming. 

Melissa showed a very high level of attention, listening and feeling, in order to properly understand what we were looking for. In doing so, she firmly held us within our comfort zone, she put us in contact with the right people (lawyer and architects), and in the end sealed a deal which we are sure fulfills our dream of a second home in the sun. 

We feel we not only now own a property, but also found a genuine friend in Melissa.
