DRUM ROLL, PLEASE! YOU GOT...
Alentejanos!
You’re all about peace and quiet. You’ve probably lived a fast-paced life until now and you’re ready to take the time to relax and just enjoy what life brings your way. It’s not all about relaxation though, you tend to be a very hard working and goal oriented person, but you simply enjoy doing it in a peaceful environment. The less crowded the place, the better!
What better place to enjoy the serene and restful atmosphere than the Alentejo, especially if you are a fan of hot Summers, and by hot we mean, scorching hot! Be prepared for that!
If having farm animals or horses (or both!) and/or a big field ready for plantations is in your plans, then this is the right spot for you. Alternatively, if living in a small village with strong community ties is your thing, then you will find plenty of villages with great houses on the market! Because Alentejo is so vast and most villages are small and further apart from each other, we’ll leave you with two main cities that could fit your personality:
ÉVORA
Those considering moving to Alentejo have most likely considered Évora. It’s the most populated city in Alentejo and although a small city, it does have everything one might need. In fact, it’s becoming the fastest growing city in Alentejo. There is good bus transportation, but you can easily walk everywhere in Évora (perks of living in Alentejo).
BEJA
One of the cheapest places to live in. True, there is not a lot going on in Beja (besides the nationally famous fair : Ovibeja!), but isn’t that what you’re running away from? Beja has the advantage of walkability and SPACE, if having a big farmhouse is what you are looking for. One big factor that many expats have in account is how close Beja is to the Alentejo Coast and the Algarve without the rent/buying prices of the saturated market.

Hello there! I'm Ana Caramujo
Catch you're Portuguese Dream with us
Savvy Cat came to be because I found the way the Portuguese Real Estate market operates extremely dysfunctional and figured I could do things in a way I think is fair and allows for a high standard of service quality for buyers.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL was designed to provide the best possible service to the buyer, and make sure our clients know exactly what they are getting into prior to purchase.
We have exclusivity with all our clients and will show our them everything, including off market deals we come across, with full transparency.
WHAT WE STAND FOR! Savvy Cat Realty values ethics and as a business we are very concerned with cultural and economic sustainability, our goal is to slow down gentrification by making sure foreign buyers make informed purchases that are not overpriced. We believe this helps both the new expats as they likely spend less plus have a much smoother relocation process with support from local business and the local community as it boosts the economy by bringing cash flow in a sustainable way.
Our Promise, is to help you achieve
... your plans of moving to Portugal!
We are with all our clients at every stage, from advice, planning, research, communication, everything you may need to smooth out your relocation to Portugal.
LOCAL PERSPECTIVE & INSIGHT Countrywide
Another thing that makes us stand out is that we work countrywide, allowing our clients to explore different locations without having to contact different agencies. If you have an ideal and not a location when it comes to property, we will likely be a great fit for your needs, as a big part of our service is to help our client find the best location for them (taking in consideration factors from lifestyle to budget and requirements). This works smoothly because Savvy Cat’s agents are not competing against each other, they are collaborating as a team in order to help our clients to the best of our ability.
TAILORED SERVICES FOR YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS
We provide a lot more service than typical real estate agencies: we support with the visas, renovations, licenses, construction, documentation, opening bank accounts, networking for professionals, we do tours, we do verifications, we work with off market properties, we do reports and much more. Of course in order to be committed to do all this my staff needs to be paid, independently of sale. The system we found for this to work is to have service packages that need to be purchased prior to the property transaction, as a big part of the service will be provided prior to purchase.
Savvy Cat Realty also has Lawyers on payroll and includes legal verification of real estate transactions and documentation as well as visa documentation and process (consultation time is limited by package, Golden Visa applications are not covered – but we do offer discounted rates with some lawyer partners).
