Fox Real Estate

We found our new Coimbra home...or so we thought. Conversations with the owner were getting "interesting" and then Storm Kristin hit, essentially ending communications for good. SIDE NOTE: as someone also named Kristin, I should've taken this as a sign that we had not found our new home. Weather aside, we needed to find an apartment, and we needed to find it fast. My husband placed a note in the Coimbra Expats & Immigrants FB page, asking if anyone know of a real estate company who could assist. Fox Real Estate, specifically Craig, was recommended and then Craig reached out to us directly...it was the beginning of a partnership that was meant to be. From our 1st facetime meeting, everyone was on the same page. Craig understood what we were looking for given our lifestyle (I'm working remotely), our interests (music, sports, art, etc.), basically what we wanted our new life in Coimbra to be. Because of Craig's knowledge of local real estate and sheer tenacity, we landed THE most amazing apartment that happens to have cool landlords. Also part of Fox Real Estate's services, Craig ensured the water, gas, and power were connected prior to our arrival. Given all the "to dos" we were juggling on both sides of the ocean, having this handled by someone who knew the process was a welcome relief. In closing, we HIGHLY recommend both Craig and Fox Real Estate. Not only will you find a place that is right for you, but you'll make a friend in the process (you rock, Craig!)
