Last August Helen Sands of Marcela Properties was asked by a contact of ours to establish a suitable selection of properties in order to maximise the time that me and my wife during our visit to the Algarve in September.
Helen immediately got the picture of our requirements which we communicated by emails. We immediately had confidence and reassurance of her enormous know-how on both the region and the business of real estate in Portugal.
During this short stay, all the houses we selected were visited in only two days, at least once. A decision was taken, our offer accepted and here comes the best part:
From the beginning of October until completion in mid-December Helen managed to be a perfect ‘liaison’ between owner and buyer. A rare and unique combination of feel-good on both sides!
Awaiting the legal investigation she kept informing both parties upon the way ahead and kept pushing the lawyers and solicitors to make their call.
Really a great job well done for Marcela Properties.
A happy new owner in the Western Algarve.

Last year my wife and I decided to buy a villa in Portugal. The location we chose was the West Algarve in the national park area of Vale da Telha near Aljezur. We arranged many viewings with 4 estate agents during a 2 week vacation. During these viewings it became very clear that Marcela Properties were the most helpful and knowledgeable of all the agents. Nothing was too much trouble and they selected the right properties to view which most suited our requirements. Their knowledge of the properties was excellent and they were very accurate with all the details. They gave us of all the information regarding the purchasing of properties in Portugal and also recommended solicitors.
We have no hesitation in recommending Marcela Properties Aljezur to anyone considering purchasing properties in the Western Algarve
Dear Antonio,
Now that the sale of my villa (Vila Do Infante, Lote 10) has been completed and we have returned to the UK I feel I should put on record my thanks to you and your team for the professional way you have conducted the sale of the villa. We set out with a 2 year plan and thanks to your Agency we achieved our aim, despite the difficult property climate From the first time we invited you to advertise the property, and I recall ALL your staff came with you to become familiar with the layout, to the eventual sale your Staff have been very supportive and always professional. In particular I must mention Anja who is a credit to you and your profession. Sincere thanks to you all and may you continue to prosper. We loved our time in Portugal and will certainly return on holiday on a regular basis. My sincere thanks and kind regards to all. Now begins the search in UK ! John & Debbie Edmonds
We used Marcela Properties in Aljezur to sell our house and the sale couldn't have been better. We got personal attention and they actively marketed our house and avoided those people who were not serious potential buyers. The process was clear and they were helpful and efficient. Well done Graeme and Helen. Many thanks.
Graeme Sands, Marcela Properties Estate Agent provided a professional, informative and friendly service when we recently bought our house. He gave accurate information about the houses we viewed and answered our questions
honestly. He responded to emails quickly and was happy to call us when requested. During the house buying process Graeme worked hard to negotiate a fair purchase price for the property. As a result of Graeme's determination we were happy. Graeme liaised with our Solicitors to ensure the buying and selling processes were dealt with efficiently.
Graeme offered knowledge of the local area and contacts of services we may need. Since buying our house we have visited the Marcela Office in Aljezur and Graeme has given us further help and information.
We would happily recommend Graeme and Marcela Properties to prospective buyers in the Western Algarve area. Thanks Graeme for your expertise, knowledge and help. You made our house buying experience pleasant and hassle free.
Kind regards,
Karen & Philip Thorpe
