About Sandra Maciel

I am very grateful to Sandra Maciel. When my wife and I decided to invest in Portugal — both as an investment and thinking about a possible future residence — we had no idea where to start. We didn't know which city or region would be the best choice, neither from a strategic nor a practical point of view. That's when a friend, who already lives in Portugal, recommended Sandra to us. For those who don't know the country and its entire legal and administrative structure, it is extremely challenging to conduct an investment of this magnitude. It's not just about acquiring the property, but about all the legislation involved, documentation, opening bank accounts, and other steps that are part of the process. Having someone competent, experienced and, above all, trustworthy, made all the difference for us. Sandra guided us in every detail, bringing security and peace of mind in all decisions. Sandra, I leave here my sincere thanks for everything you have done and continue to do for us.

Sandra was absolutely essential to our move, helping us prepare, during the move, and in the document submission after our arrival. My wife and I decided to move from the United States to Lisbon four years ago. We had two young daughters and several pets in tow as well, but can happily say that we had covered every base and were ready for every step with Sandra's assistance. Scout Concierge helped to buy a property remotely, set up our flat with furniture and utilities before we arrived, and even had food in the fridge for us. Upon arrival, her team coordinated getting our pets through customs and driving us all and our bags to our new home. In the weeks and months afterwards, they helped us obtain residency cards, driver's licenses, health numbers for the kids, and obtaining car insurance. She is absolutely my trusted advisor and the phone number I call when I don't know where to begin. I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. We've been here for three years now and I can confidently say of all the other expats we have met, we had the smoothest transition to our new home. We chose wisely, and Portugal is a wonderful place to live!
