Last year we purchased an apartment in the center of Lagos through mediation of Marcela Propriedades. What at first sight seemed to be an ordinary acquisition, turned later on out to a succession of administrative problems caused by the negligence of the seller. In these difficult circumstances we received an ongoing professional and always friendly support from Marcela Propriedades. This showed that no effort was too much for them and the sale was completed successfully.

I wanted to sell my penthouse apartment in Lagos as we were emigrating to the USA but as there are so many realtors on the Algarve I was not certain who would give me the best service and an honest assessment of my property. After speaking to several I chose Alfredo and his colleagues Deanna and Paula at Marcela Propriedades on the Marina at Lagos who sold my property and provided professional advice throughout the process.
Buying or selling a property in Portugal can be complicated so I found the support and help from Deanna essential and she handled the transaction in a very efficient manner. I was kept informed all the time of prospective purchasers and helped through the legalities when a sale was completed. Nothing was too much trouble in obtaining a sale and she was very much involved all the time until the sale finalized.
Kindest regards,

We have found Marcela Properties to have been the most professional of all the estate agents that we have dealt with during our two purchases in Portugal.
We have found Marcela Properties to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and the individual properties on their books.
I also think that Marcela Properties are very good at picking out properties that suit the buyer and that are within the buyers price bracket.

I would like to share our experience of selling our villa in Vale da Telha, Aljezur with anyone who is trying to sell their property, and considering using Marcela Propriades as their selling agent.
We had our property for sale for a year, advertising with an internet company who charged a one off fee upfront. Obviously, the first thought is that this would save the commission fee payable when you sell your property through an agent. What you don’t think about when you don’t live in Portugal is the cost of flights to show prospective purchasers the property, and the hassle that goes with it.
I received a telephone call from Helen Sands from the Aljezur offices of Marcela Propriades, asking if we would consider letting them sell our property, which we agreed to do. We had viewers immediately, which was always followed by feedback from Helen or Graeme.
They took all the pressure off us to sell the property, which they did within a couple of months. If I had any questions, their reply was always instant. They were always contactable, whether it was night, morning or weekends.
They successfully negotiated the deal for us, secured a holding deposit, arranged a solicitor, and held our hands throughout the complete process. They were very professional throughout, always approachable and therefore we would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their property.
