Overall, the reviews highlight an exceptional experience with the relocation services provided by Aurelien and Filipa. Customers appreciate their thoroughness, professional guidance, and strong communication throughout the complex process of moving to Portugal, including assistance with finding suitable housing, setting up utilities, and navigating local bureaucracy. The only potential drawback noted is the inherent challenges of relocating internationally, which they help mitigate rather effectively. Overall, they are highly recommended for their dedication and support.

an outstanding experience with aurelian and filipa, as they kindly guided us through a daunting process of relocating from the US to portugal. we couldn’t have done it without them, even though we thought that might if we devoted enough time to it, but even then, we never could have pulled this off. it’s a very slow and complicated process with many different aspects to deal with in specific order. their communication was, and still is to this day, impeccable. the money spent is well worth it. they are an endless supply of knowledge and resources. an lgbtq owned business ensured us that we would be treated respectfully. this is huge. it’s a scary time for lgbtq, especially from the US. aurelian and filipa will treat you with the kindness and respect that you deserve, welcoming you to a friendly and safe country with a stable government. they lifted a weight off our shoulders and we are forever grateful.

We decided to finally move to another apartment last year. Fox Real Estate was recommended to us by a friend as a company that truly knows the market here in Lisbon. I can't express enough how grateful we are to our realtor Filipa Alves for the help and support she provided along the way! We looked through many options online and had one scheduled visit, which turned out to be our dream apartment - a lovely cosy home in a calm neighbourhood, yet at the very center of the city. Not only did Filipa help us with the search but she also took a huge part in organising the transfer of all the services from our previous home to the new one! The entire process was stress-free and we even manage to do the impossible - organise the move right before Christmas! We strongly recommend Fox Real Estate, as there is not a single doubt that they'll be able to help you find your spot in Portugal! Thank you so very much!

My wife and I had a very short timeline where we needed to relocate to Porto from Germany without ever having visited Porto. We needed to find an apartment in only a few weeks. We contacted Aurelien and after an initial call we felt immediate trust with him. He did not disappoint.Aurelien hustled. Within a couple weeks we had a full spreadsheet of apartments that were within our liking. We knew our favorite neighborhoods. Aurelien put together a pitch sheet for us that highlighted our best qualities. He called all the landlords and negotiated on our behalf. It worked. Even in the competitive Porto market we had several apartments to choose from. Because of this we were able to be picky and find an apartment that checked all of our boxes. We were even able to find a place that accepted our dog.We were able to have a signed contract by our deadline. We've been living here for over a year now and we love the apartment and the neighborhood. Thanks so much to Aurelien for making our entry to Porto so simple.

My husband and I are both retired ex-military from the United States and having been stationed in Europe years ago, we decided to come back and make Portugal home. It is a daunting task to relocate especially when you’re in your 60’s and 70’s. Not knowing anyone, we did some research online and visited some social media chat rooms about Portugal and real estate.I noticed Aurelian trying to help answer questions and he had such an honest face, lol. I looked at what some were saying in their replies to him and it seemed like he earnestly wanted to help others in this process. I reached out to him and we scheduled a video call which is quite something with the time change. But there he was, on time and eager to help us. We took up too much of his time yet he was gracious and very respectful of our situation.Aurelian kept in touch with us, emailing pictures, information, prices and more information on the process when we would arrive. It was wonderful to meet him on our research trip to find a place as it’s required for our D7 visa. He showed us places that weren’t even on Idealista and were all very possible solutions. But it came down to the weekend when we had to return back to America and just a few days we found our flat, they were still renovating but Aurelian convinced them to show the place to us while they were working on it.It was perfect, just what we were looking for and right at the low of what we were budgeting for. We signed the lease, made our deposit, and headed back to America in preparation for returning to our new home, Setúbal Portugal. And of course we happily paid Aurelian for exceeding our expectations and becoming our first friend in Portugal. Aurelian continued to help us with translating for us and our landlady, recommended places and people to visit and work with for phones, internet, etc.When you contract with Aurelian you are basically joining a family where the head of that family, Aurelian, is all about making your search for a home as effortless as possible. There is no better person as creative and imaginative to work with what he’s given and bringing a custom solution to your home finding needs…than Aurelian Huynen.Lance & Darlene Baker

I was very impressed with the service that I received from Fox Real Estate. They handled video property tours long distance, then handled paperwork and setup utilities before I arrived. My relocation could not have gone smoother. I highly recommend Aurelien and staff.

We couldn't have made our move from Florida to Azeitao without Aurelien and Filipa. After deciding we wanted to make the move in March they guided us through every step of the moving and visa process which includes getting a NIF, a bank account, a lease, utilities, internet, TV, mobile phones and numerous contacts including attorneys and tax accountants. Their professionalism and friendship are priceless. They continue to take care of any problems we encounter and we are forever grateful.

My husband and I moved from the U.S. to Portugal in 2024. We used Fox Real Estate to secure an apartment, set up utilities, get our mobile plans and open a bank account . . . All from the U.S. We could not have been more pleased with Fox Real Estate. They were responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. They made the overall process as seamless as it could be. They even stepped in when our water was erroneously turned off the first week after we arrived and helped get it back on that same day. We love the apartment they found and the bank they set us up with. We would highly recommend them.

We will be forever grateful to Fox Realty for their expertise in helping us find the perfect apartment in Portugal as well as assisting in so many of the relocation details that would otherwise have been very difficult with our limited Portugese. In addition to arranging viewings, asking questions of the sellers' realtors (most of whom did not speak English), negotiating the sale price and attending the closing with us, they also helped us with setting up a bank account and setting up all utilities for our apartment. I have seen discussions on Facebook about whether one needs a buyer's realtor in Portugal and all I can say is for us the answer was yes! I can't imagine making such a big decision and big financial commitment without the expertise of someone like Aurélien.Muito obrigada to Aurélien and Filipa!

We are forever grateful and recommend them highly to anyone looking to buy or rent in this beautiful country.

I found Fox Real Estate while looking for apartments, on-line, in Setubal; so I connected with Filipa and Aurelien. They set up a spreadsheet showing available apartments with my criteria, I was able to click on link that took me right to the listing; I was also able to enter info on apts I foundOn idealista and get Aurlien’s feedback. Well, then I mentioned that the bank I was trying to open an account with just stopped communicating with me and Filipa said,Oh we can help with you with that! And so, they did: I soon had an account with Millennium bank. And through the whole process Filipa was on top of it. Aurelien, meanwhile, organized several zoom calls of apts I was interested in till finally t found the right one! Aurelien worked with me and the owner to get the lease done, deposits made; he and Filipa did the paperwork for the utilities and internet/TV. During the whole process of working with me they communicated daily, made sure everything was okay on my end and were always extremely courteous. I have mentioned them several times on the Facebook page Americans & Friends and I welcome questions on my experience. BTW Aurelien also set up my pick up my pick up at Lisbon airport with four bags on November 2, 2024.So happy to be here. And thanks to them I am.
