Andrew K., Los Angeles CA, USA

"I am from Los Angeles California. I have been visiting Lisbon for work and extended family since 2018. I started actively looking for a flat to call home. As fate would have it, the very last viewing on my prospective list that I saw the literal day before going home would ultimately be the home that IVENS helped me to procure. I fell in love with the home immediately. From the high ceilings to the Portuguese tile to the hardwood floors to the french doors let alone the job they did staging the interior, I knew it would be the perfect fit. The next day at the airport, I messaged the IVEN's agent that showed me the flat to tell her I was interested and what the following procedures and action items would be. When I landed, the owners of IVENS Eurico and Rita set up a video call with me in the ensuing weeks after I settled in. I knew I was a little in over my head at this point but I was focused and motivated to make this dream come true. And while I knew I was being overly ambitious, my nerves were settled nearly immediately upon speaking with Eurico and Rita. They both exuded an air of confidence, familiarity, comfort, ease, empathy, trust and care that instantly disarmed the major insecurities I was feeling at the time about being a foreigner purchasing a home in an unfamiliar and nonnative country. They clearly explained the process for a foreigner to purchase a home and obtain a loan in the country. When I cleared all of the contingencies for the first phase of the home buying process with them, I flew back to Lisbon to close the deal. Rita kindly joined me to the bank with alacrity for my first in-person meeting with them for the loan completion. Door to door we got the deal done super quick within 3 months of my first viewing it. Then when I needed help managing the flat, they took over all responsibilities in overseeing the management. They are a full service, family-style operation that I am so lucky and externally grateful to have found. My experience working with Eurico and Rita has been nothing but preeminent, exceptional, elite and professional let alone bordering on the familial. Whether I needed help with notaries or inspections or banking or loans or utilities or management or translations or 3rd party help, they were available nearly 24/7 via text message, phone or email, they graciously worked around our 8 hour time difference and they simply made the entire process calm and trustworthy. I am forever grateful to both of them and their superb team for the tutelage and care they extended to me as their home-buying client. If you are considering making the life changing decision to purchase property in Portugal, I wholeheartedly recommend with full confidence working with IVENS for your real estate goals and needs in Portugal. If there was a scale from 0-10 on how likely I would recommend working with IVENS, I would crush the scale with a 20 because the weight and substance of their work ethic, credibility and humanity reflect that in kind. I hope you choose to work with IVENS to fulfill your home-buying dreams in beautiful Portugal."

Carlos G., Portugal

“We greatly appreciated IVENS’ professionalism, efficiency, discretion, and loyalty.”

Mauro G., Italy

"The experience, kindness, and promptness of Eurico.
He guided the entire process, from beginning to end, all the way through to the signing at the notary. Afterwards, he surprised my wife with a bouquet of flowers. I would recommend IVENS to a friend with a 10/10 rating."

Madalena M. C., Portugal

"My experience with IVENS Agency, through which I rented 6 apartments, has always been excellent. What I valued most was the consistently professional support from all its members, along with their friendliness. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this agency. On a scale of 0 to 10, I give it a 10, as I have nothing to point out in terms of improving their service."

Nassir K., Pakistan

What struck out most to me was how Eurico was always available and willing to help above and beyond the call of duty. My experience was excellent. IVENS helped me buy a property at an excellent value and then helped me broker a deal that resulted in an excellent return on investment. I would fully recommend IVENS and rate them 10/10.
