I have been working with Bright Lisbon Real Estate & Consultancy Services for almost three years, and throughout this time I have experienced nothing but dedication and excellent follow-up on my file, which recently came back with a positive outcome. I'd also like to sincerely thank the owner, Ms. Ghada Abulkakek, for her outstanding support throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!

Moving to a whole new country is not easy, but Ghada made the whole process so smooth for us. We had to do everything remotely in the beginning, and she was constantly sending daily updates and live video walkthroughs of different areas. She even helped connect us with immigration lawyer for our Portugal residency paperwork. Honestly outstanding service, super trustworthy, and she treats you with real respect from day one. 5 stars all the way!

If you're considering relocating to Portugal, Giraffe Real Estate is the top choice. They excel in professionalism, empathy, support, and patience. With round-the-clock availability, they address all queries promptly. Special thanks to Ghada and the team for their invaluable assistance in obtaining our visa. Without their dedication, our transition to this remarkable new country wouldn't have been feasible. I enthusiastically endorse Giraffe Real Estate to anyone in search of a residence in Portugal or navigating the visa process.

My wife and I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Ghada from Giraffe Real Estate last year. We were tremendously impressed with Ghada's expertise and dedication as she guided us through the process of selecting our apartment at Rio Mirear. Her commitment to client satisfaction was evident in every step of the process, including assigning a reliable lawyer to assist us and ensuring the smooth opening of a bank account.
Even after finalizing the transaction, Ghada continues to exceed our expectations by providing periodic progress updates on the development of our building and addressing any concerns or requirements that arise. Her unwavering attention to detail and outstanding customer service truly set her apart in the real estate industry.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ghada to anyone seeking an accomplished real estate professional who consistently goes above and beyond for their clients. We could not have asked for a better experience and are immensely grateful for her ongoing dedication and support.

We contacted Ghada 18 months ago to consult her and inquire about the possibility and feasibility of buying a place in our dream country; Portugal. Well the attention, the knowledge, the fair and unbiased advice combined with warmth and compassion were unmatched. The consultation lasted about 4 months and she finally found a condo in a building under construction. We visited with her n person and found that the reality matches the virtual expectation. Fast forward, Ghada has helped other family members and friends purchase places without any glitches. Ghada helped us find an attorney, a banker, escorted us to all bank and real estate appointments. Ghada is definitely and will always be a good friend and an expert in all things Lisbon and Portugal life and real estate.
