João Lemos: Excellent professional financial advice. Credible, reliable and effective in helping me to secure the best mortgage rate and transfer from previous contract and bank. In depth knowledge of the law, regulations and procedures, as well as great connections with managers in many different banks. All services provided online. Whenever I had to go in person to the bank and land registry’s office, I had the option to choose dates and times that were suitable to me. At my arrival in both places, people were ready and waiting for me. I never had to make a single phone call or book anything myself. In a country foreign to me, which I find quite bureaucratic at times , simply superb service!

João Lemos, my financial advisor from "Poupança no Minuto," was a lifesaver during the process of buying my first apartment in Portugal. João’s charm, efficiency, and industry expertise truly made a world of difference! With five years of living in Portugal and some real estate experience in the Netherlands, I thought I knew the ropes. However, João’s guidance was exceptional. He ensured the process was fast and seamless, leaving no detail overlooked. João's extensive financial knowledge and strong connections within the banks helped me secure the best mortgage deal quickly, easing a typically stressful part of the process. His proactive approach and dedication made me feel like I was always his top priority, despite his many other projects. Not only did João provide top-notch financial advice, but he also offered tremendous support during the stressful moments. His deep understanding of the process, fluent English, and amazing social skills are invaluable. João, I couldn’t have done this without you! Thanks a million!!

I've worked with Joao Lemos for a while now, and he has been outstanding in his work and support. He has been a cornerstone in the processes of helping me getting a mortgage, and honestly I couldn't have done it without him. Joao truly cares about his clients, and he'll go the extra mile to make sure you get support you need. I couldn't be happier to recommend Joao if you're looking for a trustworthy partner for your financial needs in Portugal.

“We cannot recommend Joao highly enough! From the very beginning, he made the complex process of securing a house mortgage feel smooth and stress-free. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for our needs stood out at every step. Joao took the time to understand our unique situation, patiently explained every detail, and always kept us informed. His proactive approach and dedication ensured that we secured the best possible deal in a timely manner. What truly sets him apart is his friendly demeanor and commitment to making his clients feel valued and supported throughout the process. Thanks to him we are now proud homeowners in Portugal and we couldn’t have done it without him.

Pedro Jorge: the professional advisor that accompanied my entire house purchasing process. The bank loan simulations, proposal, credit approval, and finally the house deed. From the start, he demonstrated great knowledge and financial skills, complemented by his vast connections in the area, which sped up the process by a lot. When I was contacted by him, I had already received proposals from 3 other credit intermediary firms, and yet he was still able to get credit pre-approved before all of them, despite the fact the other firms had weeks of head start over him. He showed me how he performed the simulations, and the analysis that he went through in order to choose the right bank for me. This transparency convinced me he was the right person to counsel me. I was also quite captivated by his humility, even though he was clearly in a league above the rest. I 100% recommend him.
