I worked with Leonardo to rent a flat, and overall, it was a smooth experience. He advertised a flat I was interested in, and when I reached out, he was super responsive. Leonardo showed me the place promptly and even helped negotiate the price down, which I appreciated. Communication was good throughout the process; he made sure to keep things straightforward. He was also punctual for our meetings and always courteous. Overall, he provided a good service in helping me secure the flat.

Lisbon on Sep 2024

When I moved to Portugal three years ago, I had no idea about the real estate market and needed to buy an apartment as well as set up a shop. Finding someone trustworthy was crucial, and that's exactly what I got with Elsa from SAFTI PORTUGAL. I discovered her through a Facebook group; she's incredibly knowledgeable about the market. After recommending her to others who were also satisfied, it's clear that she has a solid reputation. She showed us around 3 or 4 apartments, and we found one that was perfect - well-located and within our budget. Elsa took care of everything with the notaries and all the paperwork seamlessly. She's always available or quick to return calls if she can't pick up—very reliable service overall!

After searching for quite some time, Elsa from SAFTI PORTUGAL truly made my apartment hunt in Lisbon a breeze. She understood exactly what I was looking for and only showed me listings that matched my criteria, saving me a lot of time. Elsa was also really knowledgeable about the local market and provided valuable insights that helped me make an informed decision. There were no pushy sales tactics; she gave me the space to think things over, which I really appreciated. Communication with her was easy and prompt – she always got back to me quickly when I had questions or concerns. All in all, working with Elsa made buying an apartment far less stressful than I expected it would be!

I had a great experience with Leonardo from Ren. He found me an apartment on Idealista in the area I wanted in Lisbon. It was just what I was looking for, with the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The landlord initially didn't want to rent to me because I have a dog, but Leonardo negotiated that successfully. He also managed to keep some of the furniture in the apartment and even lowered the rent price for me. I'm really pleased with how everything turned out!

I worked with Leonardo to find an apartment in Lisbon during the summer of 2023, and it was a really wonderful experience. Unlike my past experiences in the States or even Barcelona, Leo made the search feel personal and caring, almost like a friend helping me out rather than just a service provider. He had access to apartments that weren’t publicly listed, which felt like discovering hidden gems in the neighborhoods I wanted. Despite the high demand for rentals at that time, Leo never rushed or pressured me into making a quick decision; I appreciated being able to take my time. The apartment I ended up choosing is perfect for me, exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it. His relationship with my landlord also added an extra layer of comfort and trust. Even more than a year later, Leo still checks in to see if everything is going well, which shows his commitment beyond just business. Overall, Leo was responsive and helpful throughout the process, making sure all my questions were answered clearly—I couldn't be happier with my new home!

I recently worked with Elsa from SAFTI PORTUGAL to purchase a small house and had a great experience. She communicated clearly, understood exactly what I was looking for, and I felt very confident in her abilities and knowledge of the market. It was great to have someone with whom I could really communicate with and that was familiar since we both come from France. Nothing compared to other real estate agents you usually find, she is very professional and kind. Elsa managed everything right up to the finalization of the purchase, making me feel at ease throughout the entire process. There were no problems at all, and I would definitely recommend her services to others looking for property in Portugal.

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
