How it works
Step 1: Complete Your Preferences Form
After selecting and purchasing your preferred package, you will receive a detailed form. This form asks for your personal preferences and specific requirements, such as location, budget range, property type, and any special needs or amenities you’re looking for.
Step 2: Connect with Your Savvy Representative
Once we receive your completed form, we will assign a dedicated Savvy Representative to you. This representative will thoroughly review your requirements and get in touch with you to discuss your needs in detail. Within 3 business days, they will provide you with personalized feedback on your requirements, budget, and preferred locations.
Additionally, they will send you a curated list of property listings that match your criteria, giving you a head start in finding your ideal rental home.
Step 3: Property Visits
Property visitations can be scheduled according to your convenience and the package you have chosen. You can visit properties personally, have the agent visit on your behalf, or both. The number of visits available will depend on the specific package you selected.
During these visits, our agents will provide honest and transparent feedback, highlighting important details such as the practicality of living in the property, the quality of the location, and the physical condition of the property.
Step 4: Secure Your Rental Agreement
Once you’ve selected a property, we will act as an intermediary with the landlord or agency to negotiate and finalize the rental agreement. Our goal is to secure a contract that protects the interests of both parties.
To ensure everything is in order, all contracts are reviewed by a lawyer, giving you peace of mind that your rights and obligations are clearly defined and legally sound.
Step 5: Ongoing Support
Even after you’ve moved into your new rental home, our support doesn’t end. If you need assistance with setting up utilities, installing appliances, handling any issues with the landlord, or any other rental-related support, we are here to help!
This ongoing support ensures you have a smooth and stress-free rental experience. (Please note that this service is included in all packages except the Basic.)
Keep in Mind
- Once you’ve purchased a pack, expect to hear from us within 1 business day. If you don’t see an email from us, please check your Spam folder.
- We are happy to negotiate any terms you see fit on your behalf. However, please note that the decision to accept said terms depend solely on the landlord.
- Please respect our staff’s time off. Our regular work hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM. If you require assistance from our agents over the weekend, kindly schedule in advance. We cannot guarantee their availability during weekends.
- Please allow up to 3 business days to respond to your inquiries.
- Please read the Terms and conditions below before purchasing.
- Price includes VAT (23%). If you have a company within the EU and would like to use the exemption of VAT through that, let us know by email (contact@savvycatrealty.com) and we’ll send you an invoice without VAT.
- This is NOT a Standard real estate mediation service, this is a consultancy and assistance service.

My husband and I are now living in an apartment in our first choice neighborhood in Porto priced at about 65% of our (very realistic) budget.
We feel extremely grateful to Savvy Cat and would recommend them to anyone interested in moving to Portugal.
We’re really happy we chose to work with Savvy Cat to find our rental property.
We were paired up with Teresa, who grew up in Porto, and her advice was excellent.
We truly don't know what we'd do without them and will be forever grateful to this team!
FAQ's
Yes. Rental packages are pre-paid, service is only started after purchase of package on the website. Buying services a 20% down payment is required to start service and an advisory call must be booked for screening
Yes. We offer Free Clarifications Calls to discuss our services, package options, inclusions, limitations, and service details, including a walkthrough of our operations. In these calls will not answer technical advisory questions on topics such as: what visa to get, where to move to, what kind of property to get, opinion on properties and options, investment advice, etc. If you would like to get technical advice feel free to book an advisory call here: https://test.iconnect.pt/advisory
Yes, We search the whole market, and do in person scouting and off market networking for our clients. But we can not guarantee we will find a match off market for each specific client.
We do not recommend doing this. In Portugal, the housing market is somewhat disorganized
with limited open houses. Trying to schedule visits on short notice relies heavily on luck and
the availability of the local representative. We suggest that rental services should be initiated 1 to 2 months before the planned start of contract. We recommend scheduling in person activities with your local representative with as much time ahead as possible as scheduling requests are answered by order of arrival.
