Our Reviews/Testimonials

Read what our clients have to say! From finding dream homes to providing a seamless buying experience. Below, you can read some of our Google reviews from happy clients who used Algarve House Hunter as their buyer's agent in Portugal.

We cannot recommend Algarve House Hunter enough, as buyers agents in the Algarve. Their hard work and dedication made our whole experience with them whilst searching for a property so smooth. They provided us with lists of properties, arranged our viewing schedule with many other agents and explained to us the entire buying process. They even helped us to obtain our Portuguese Fiscal numbers. They showed us properties that were not even online, something we would never have found without their help and expertise. We wholeheartedly recommend Algarve House Hunter to anyone looking to buy in Portugal. We want to thank Rebecca and Darius for all the help and support they have provided us with so far. You are both lovely hardworking people. Many thanks Yvonne and Malcolm, Malvern, England.

“We had been looking for a property for two years around the Tavira area and then finally it was Rebecca that found us our 'forever home'. We were registered with every single agent in the town and further afield. Plus we had even rented for 3 months in an attempt to find our new home, but to no avail. By the time we met Rebecca we were pretty disheartened. Most estate agents either send you any new house they get (even though it is 100% the opposite of your search criteria) or they forget you the minute you walk out the door or the viewing! Rebecca spent the time to truly understand what we wanted and what we were willing to compromise on, or not. And as we knew every single property that was up for sale within a 15 minute drive, Rebecca spent her time ferreting out new ones that had not been advertised or even listed. The property we brought was never advertised on Idealista, Casa Sapo, Rightmove etc. Not only did she find us a property that was beyond our expectations, Rebecca was also invaluable throughout the negotiation process. We started €110,000 lower then the asking price and eventually settled on €60,000 less. In the current crazy property market that was some feat. Rebecca exhibited a brilliant understanding of the Portuguese culture and mentality to make this happen. 

“As a now retired expat Brit who has lived in Canada for 20+ years I spent several frustrating weeks chasing ads on Idealista etc only to be told the property was already sold so I reached out on a couple of expat Facebook groups for a buying agent and Rebecca Charles from Algarve House Hunters was recommended. I’m so glad we took a chance - after a couple of phone conversations Rebecca had a spreadsheet of available properties drawn up and we refined it together prior to our trip to Portugal. Rebecca set us up with a colleague in the western Algarve to do some viewings there before we travelled to the Tavira area. After an intense few days of viewings, arranged in advance by Rebecca, we were able to identify our dream home for which she conducted the negotiations on our behalf and we are now in the process of purchasing"

We had a fantastic experience working with Rebecca at Algarve House Hunter. We live in Washington D.C and she made shopping from afar easy. Rebecca asked us questions to learn more about us, our wants, needs, budget, and must haves. She sent us listings and looked at the listings we sent her too. She walked several homes before we arrived and continued to dig hard to find us the perfect home. She was in constant communication with us before we arrived by via call, text, and utilizing a live excel spread sheet. We had limited time in Portugal in the Algarve region to find a home before we returned to D.C. Rebecca was patient, professional, and kind. We felt like we made a life long friend and knew we had a trusted advisor in Rebecca. We looked at possibly 10 homes over 4 days. She took us to a home she just knew we needed to see. We fell in love with it but it needed some cosmetic work. In the limited time we had she was able to schedule us to meet with 2 different contractors to get their opinions. She took care of every aspect of the home buying process. She took us to the bank to open an account, made an appointment with a lawyer, and mortgage broker for us before we arrived. She set up all the appointments for us to see the homes. She didn’t give us her opinion unless we asked for it. She allowed us to make a decision. I recommend Rebecca with Algarve House Hunter 100%. She made home buying easy. I absolutely love her. Our experience was so good we are trying to do more business with her soon. I can’t wait to make the Algarve region my new home. Thank you Rebecca for making our dreams come true!!
