What my clients say about me: ”Teresa Cuco was our estate agent and we could not have been happier with the work she did to help us find our dream Portuguese property. We were living in London and flew over to the Alentejo on numerous occasions for property hunting with Teresa. Even Teresa’s son Tiago assisted us on our search. Teresa is an expert on the various areas of Alentejo and was able to show us many properties in many diverse areas of the Alentejo region. She spent countless hours traveling with us to various properties before helping us find the perfect spot in the incredible Alentejo region of Portugal. Teresa not only helped us purchase our property but she also assisted us in setting up a Portuguese bank account and getting the ever-important NIF tax number and also linking us with important local contacts e.g. An accountant, builders, other ex-pats. Teresa really made our property search a lovely adventure and we would recommend her to anyone wishing to purchase a property in Portugal.” -- ”We sought the expertise of Teresa Cuco while searching for our new home in Portugal, wich was unfortunately during the Covid lockdown period. Even with these added complications, Teresa inspired trust and made us comfortable from day one, never rushing or pressuring and always truly listening to our questions or concerns. As we couldn’t visit the country during crucial stages, Teresa went above and beyond to send us many photographs and walk-throught vídeos - and even arranged for measurements to be taken and builders to visit to provide quotes for remodelling work. Teresa also provided some very helpful advice on tax insurance- and covered many things we hadn’t thought of. Teresa’s demeanour is delightful alwys bringing an energetic and positive attitude - witc certainly helped with our stress! Her knpwledge of every little nuance of the process has proven invaluable, especilly in a highly bureaucratic country like Portugal. Teresa will always be our go-to person on all things property. Highly highly recommended :-) Thank you so much for all help! Joanne M.” --- I recently purchased a house in the historic centre of Evora with Teresa’s assistance and guidance. My situation was complicated – I was living and working in Hong Kong, under strict lockdown and quarantine restrictions. I needed the property to qualify for a Golden Visa, but I was also interested in a property that could be split into two units, renovated and used to generate rental income. When combined with local city rules within the old town center, this was going to be no small task. Teresa immediately rose to the challenge. She first of all found the perfect property for me. Then she introduced me to trustworthy builders, architects and lawyers, and built up a team that would work together to guide me through the process. Her communications were always clear and detailed, and she went above and beyond to act as not only as a real estate agent, but as a translator, coordinator, advisor and friend. My parents had the pleasure of meeting Teresa in-person first, and before long it was clear that she had become more a ‘friend of the family’ than an agent. It was also clear that her priority, above all else, was the absolute satisfaction of both the buyer and the seller. Teresa kept all parties in the transaction engaged, and worked to establish a strong feeling of trust between us all. When I finally had the chance to meet her in-person and to see the property for myself, it almost felt like I was coming home to ‘family’. Teresa was just as sincere and genuine in person as she was over email and telephone communications. The transaction, thus far, has gone off without a hitch. Overall, I can’t recommend Teresa enough. She has guided me through a complicated process in an unfamiliar country and in an unfamiliar language, with always a smile on her face. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with her – and I can’t wait for the chance to invite her and her family over to my new house in Evora for dinner. If anyone would like to chat with me on the phone or via email regarding Teresa’s work and the process, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me (you can ask Teresa for my contact details.) It would be my absolute pleasure to provide a more detailed reference for her. Geoff” ”My wife and I are Americans who will be moving to Portugal soon. An American expat, who already lives in Portugal, recommended Teresa Cuco to us, and we are very happy with the work she did in facilitating the purchase of our new property in the Alentejo. At all times we felt she genuinely wanted us to be happy and confident in the process of buying a property, and she worked very diligently to earn our confidence. Teresa would drive two hours roundtrip to take photographs and videos of properties we were interested in, and we noted that many of her emails were written late at night. She always welcomed questions, and always made certain we understood any and all details about a property, and the process of buying a property in Portugal. She even answered our questions about Portuguese etiquette and traditions. In English, we have an expression: “she/he goes the extra mile.” It refers to someone who gives extra effort to be certain a job is done well. A mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers. We would say Teresa Cuco goes the extra two kilometers, and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Alentejo.”
