PORTUGAL, THE ALGARVE

A football club owner, his wife and his three children were relocating to the south of Portugal to benefit from an NHR tax regime programme:

  • Small search area with 34 listing agents engaged
  • Plus off-market options
  • 11 villas shortlisted
  • Offer accepted on client’s second-choice property
  • 9.4% saving negotiated 
  • TOTAL PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMITMENT

    We engaged Sebastien early this year, to find us a property in Spain. From the first time we spoke through to completion of the project, Seb exhibited total professionalism and commitment to our cause with sound advice, rationalised thinking, and no-nonsense attitude to challenges.

  • DELIVERS RESULTS

    Seb was highly efficient and extremely disciplined in the performance of his professional duties. His attention to details was second to none and his integrity proves to have been consistently impeccable. Seb is also highly personable with an engaging personality, not to mention the dimensions of his knowledge and command of the market where I invested. He delivered results that had met prescribed objectives imposed by a demanding buyer like myself who happened to be a solicitor.

  • SAVED US €1.3M FROM ASKING PRICE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Galleon and Seb have been recommended to us by our agent. What they managed in a short turnaround is just outstanding. We viewed 16 properties together and fell in love with a few. His expertise in negotiation was also impressive, saving us €1.3M off the asking price. Highly recommend.

  • ENJOYABLE AND STRESS-FREE

    Viewing and choosing our property with Sebastien's help was a really enjoyable and stress-free experience, he found us the right property because he took the time to find out exactly what we needed. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

  • TOOK AWAY MUCH OF THE STRESS

    We were extremely happy with the services of Galleon and hugely appreciated Seb’s knowledge of the areas we were considering. With his European knowledge, he helped us narrow down an initially wide area, and steered us to areas which met our requirements for a property, but also where our investment was safe. I would recommend and in fact urge anybody looking for an overseas property investment to use the services of Galleon. It was absolutely invaluable, and took away much of the stress usually involved in a property purchase.

  • SEB IS A STAR

    Seb is a star, down to earth, personable and extremely professional. He managed a complex acquisition in Monaco for us. The successful outcome is credit to his in depth market knowledge, relentless drive and excellent negotiation skills. An asset to anyone looking to buy in Europe and a friend today.

  • VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH

    A very professional and thorough look at the marketplace helping us find our property of choice. Very helpful in final negotiations.

  • INVALUABLE

    In the ultra-competitive market that is Monaco, having Seb and his team by our side was invaluable. Not only to find the right home for us, but also to secure it at the right price. Seb’s market knowledge, dealing with all stakeholders and access to off-market properties were outstanding. We’re now looking at buying in the UK and will use them again. Thank you and highly recommend.

  • SEB WAS BRILLIANT

    Having someone with Seb’s expertise really helped to remove the stress from the situation and gave me the confidence to buy in the best possible circumstances. Seb really wants his clients to be happy and comfortable and will advise them in the best possible way. He is honest and helpful, which gives his clients the confidence they need. I have since recommended him to my friends and clients as he was brilliant with me. Thank you!

  • BEST IN CLASS

    I don’t think we would have bought our flat in Paris without Sebastien and his team. They did an amazing work on the search, helped us with the shortlist and then held our hand through the negotiations, and all done with Sebastien's Gallic charm and good humour. What more could we have asked for?
