Private Luxury Collection - The Very Best of Portuguese Property

Private Luxury Collection made the process of buying unseen easy and efficient. They went out of their way to ensure I was fully apprised of the property and the process, even video calling me in Australia so that I could do a virtual viewing of the property. ~ Nuno Moura (Buyer, Central Algarve) 

We wanted to see as many properties as possible in our short time in the Algarve. Private Luxury Collection made that possible by setting appointments and viewings so we could see all of them in the two days we had. With their expertise and enthusiasm we were able to find the perfect one, which we bought! ~ Sarah and John Cooper (Buyer, Central Algarve) 

Having searched for some time to find the right property in Dunas Douradas. Private Luxury Collection quickly found us the property and made the process as simple and effortless as possible. They made a number of introductions to 3rd parties who proved to be invalubale. So it was natural we consulted with them once more when we decided to build two new properties in Vale do Lobo.

I would highly recommend using Keely’s property services. She took into account everything I was looking for and went about finding an ideal property for me, with friendly, relaxed professionalism. ~ Alex Brind (Buyer, Western Algarve) 

The Private Luxury Real Estate team looked after us really throughout the purchasing process. We couldn't have been in better hands. They helped us find our perfect property and worked hard to secure the deal. Thank you to 

Keely and her team. ~Adam and Shelley James (Buyers, Central Algarve)

Keely Capel was instrumental in helping us navigate the intricacies (and, dare I say, numerous pitfalls) of the Portuguese real estate market as our Buyer’s Agent. A native English speaker who has lived in Portugal for almost two decades, Keely is perfectly placed to traverse the divide between foreign newcomer expectations and local regulations. Despite being based in the Algarve south, Keely was still able to help us negotiate and complete our purchase in central Portugal. Communication was easy and thorough, even taking into account time zone differences to the US.

Although it’s not common to hire a designated buyer’s agent in Portugal, we more than got our money’s worth to have Keely looking out solely for our best interests. In some instances, this fee can be covered by the seller’s agency, but even if it’s not, you definitely want Keely's dedication and professionalism on your side. ~ Jay and Liz Powell (Buyers, Central Portugal)

From the very onset of our property search in the Algarve, Keely from Private Luxury Collections Real Estate transformed what could have been an overwhelming process into an absolute dream. Despite the pandemic's challenges, Keely's commitment to excellence was evident. She ingeniously bridged the distance gap by providing us with comprehensive virtual tours, making us feel as though we were physically traversing each property. Her attention to detail was remarkable – from video recordings capturing the essence of arrival and departure to each home, to giving us a real feel for the neighborhoods by showcasing nearby conveniences like local restaurants, grocery stores, and the beautiful Algarve beaches.

What set Keely apart was her willingness to go above and beyond. It wasn't just about selling us a house; it was about her genuine desire to ensure we found a home that resonated with our hearts and our needs. Her in-depth knowledge of the area, coupled with an evident passion for what she does, was not only impressive but also incredibly reassuring.

I wholeheartedly recommend Keely and the team at Private Luxury Collections to anyone looking to invest in property in Portugal. Their exceptional service and dedication are truly unmatched, and it's clear they have set a gold standard for real estate in the Algarve. Trusting them with your home buying journey is a decision you can make with the utmost confidence – they are, without a doubt, the epitome of luxury real estate experts. Thank you, Keely, for not just finding us a property, but for guiding us to our dream home with such grace and professionalism.

Keely was referred to me by my friends, who had used her to buy their home in Albufeira. In November 2023, I came to Albufeira to find housing to meet the D7 Visa requirement and I used Keely to help me. It was not an easy task because the available housing was so limited, but Keely spent the whole week I was here (and before I came) helping me find the perfect housing. I looked at properties to buy and to rent. Keely was extremely professional, tenacious, kind, and compassionate while helping me. I had a deadline and she perservered to find something before I had to return home. We did find a perfect fit for me the last day I was here , and Keely continued to work with the attorney she referred, to get my lease done before my meeting to apply for my D7 Visa 3 weeks later.

Keely also has helped me prior to moving to Albufeira last week. She helped with getting my utilities in place, and following up with the leasing agent to get things repaired before I arrived. If you are moving to the Algarve, I would highly recommend Keely to help you with your real estate needs. In fact I have referred her, and they have been very happy with her service as well. ~Kathy Kelly (Renter, Central Algarve)
