” We rented a property for two months organised by Monica Rio.  She has always been courteous, helpful and knowledgeable.

She met us when we arrived at 8pm. This should us a high level of professionalism is expected by your company

However on Sunday 10th she exceeded all expectations.

Our power failed totally at 7pm 

We contacted Monica who came straight away. Unfortunately neither she nor her husband were able to fix the problem.

  Monica called the electrician and told us to go for dinner.

The electrician might take up to four hours. She said she would call us when he arrived.

She called us to let us know that everything was working and that we did not need to return until we were ready.

This level of service is outstanding and we felt strongly that the company should know what staff do to make clients happy.

Well done to Monica and the company Yours faithfully “

” Professionalism – Anja Scheck from our first meeting must have thought we were the timewasters from hell (England!) – several other estate agents in Lagos certainly felt so !!!!! – but retiring to another country, and sinking your “”hard earned”” into a property is SO daunting – it’s very late in life to make a mistake – so sorry to anyone who “”wasted time”” with us.

But Anja gave us time, her thoughts, her experience! And FINALLY she took us to THE place!”

From then on everything went like clockwork (many thanks to Jac &Monica our solicitors).

Unbelievably, Anja’s determination to make the deal work was matched by her colleague Isabel Marques – who turned up at the house on a bank holiday, the day after getting the keys, to sort out a problem with the garage door! Gold star quality service.

Thanks to the both of you. Sharon & Stephen

I can honestly say that my dealings with Marcela Properties have been first class !

Anja, the ultimate professional, patiently persevered taking a clearly indecisive couple from property to property, until the right one came along! Together with a good solicitor, the deal was agreed, arrangements made, all signed and sealed extremely quickly and smoothly. I must mention the contribution of Isobel of Marcela.

She also helped in the latter stages of the deal, but she came to the house, on a bank holiday, the day after we moved in, to help us sort out a problem – fantastic service!

Cheers Stephen “

” Last year in January we had our first meeting with Anja from Marcela to visit a house in Vila do Bispo that we really  liked! We live in the Netherlands and made the appointment by phone.

Anja from there on helped us throughout the whole process and it wasn’t an easy one at the end we even joked the house was really like a pregnancy, while it took exactly 9 months to have finally the Keys.

This wasn’t the agency’s fold, but the sad passing away from one of the sellers and therefore the extra paperwork that came alone.

We got anxious a bit during the process, because nothing was signed yet and the waiting makes you extra anxious.

Anja took the anxiety away by working great and always keeping us up to date during the waiting time.

Never failing in appointments and helping us with all the papers.

We are really grateful for that, because of her great work and also the assistance from Miquelina we have our lovely house in Vila do Bispo now to enjoy!

Thanks again for all the effort! Obrigado “

” I went to Portugal this month with a very small window of time to make a lifetime dream come true…

find a retirement home in Lagos!I was very fortunate to find Patrick.He has helped me every step of the way…

truly an amazing agent . Not living there made it much more challenging, but his knowledge, experience and willingness to go over and above the call of duty has made this process much less stressful.

  From day one he has worked very closely with meguiding me thru each step….a true professional!I signed off on the agreement yesterday and well on my way to make my dream come true!

Thank you “

” Dear Andriy,We would like to write and thank you for the excellent service you have provided together with Marcela Properties.

Thanks to you we are the very proud owners of our lovely Marina apartment.Throughout the search and purchase process, you have been diligent, professional, most polite and always very quick to respond to any questions.

You listened carefully to our search criteria and showed us examples of what we were looking for each time and then months later when we were not in Portugal you had the foresight to send through the details for the perfect apartment.

We were able to make an offer based on a virtual viewing – your video skills were excellent and you showed great attention to detail and reassured us at every step so that we knew exactly where the property was, the state of the interior and appliances, the position of the sun, the condominium costs and the sale process.

You and your team worked hard to negotiate very diplomatically with the vendors to achieve an accepted offer and to progress the sale process at every moment.

Thank you very much Andriy for all your care and attention – we are very grateful.

We look forward to working with you in the future.

Best wishes,

Chris and Linda Salt

” During our property search of the Algarve which had been ongoing for some two years we were fortunate to come across Anja Scheck of Marcela Propriedades.

She was pleasant and professional throughout and was able to conduct a very comprehensive virtual viewing whilst we were in the USA which resulted in the purchase of our dream property.

Even when Anja was on vacation during the process she continued to liaise with us and keep us abreast of ongoing matters and progress.

We would thoroughly recommend Anja for all matters relating to real estate acquisition or sale in the Algarve knowing that in her you would receive the best of help, advice and guidance. “
