Our Story

Our story began three years ago when we realized we had something special to offer. Matilde, born and raised in Portugal, brings a wealth of local knowledge and connections. Marta, having relocated from Brazil, knows firsthand the joys and challenges of making Portugal your new home. Together, we've created a relocation service that goes above and beyond.

We're not just about ticking boxes on a checklist. We're about making your move to Portugal an exciting adventure, not a stressful ordeal. From navigating the maze of immigration paperwork to finding your dream home, and from setting up utilities to introducing you to your new favorite café – we've got you covered.

Our network includes legal experts, savvy real estate agents, creative designers, reliable drivers, and specialists in just about everything you'll need for a smooth transition. Think of us as your personal concierge service for all things Portugal!

Meet Marta

Marta's journey from Brazil to Portugal embodies the transformative power of embracing new beginnings – an experience she now shares with clients at Portugal For Living.

With a background in Business Management and Finance, Marta built a successful career as a business owner and Corporate Manager at HSBC. Her search for a new adventure led her to Portugal, a country she instantly fell in love with and now calls home.

This personal relocation experience ignited a new passion: helping others discover the magic of Portuguese life. Leveraging her financial acumen and local knowledge, Marta specializes in guiding investments in Portuguese real estate.
