Your Trusted Guide to Buying Property, Navigating Visas, and Building a Beautiful Life in Portugal
Moving to Portugal isn’t just a relocation — it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Whether you're dreaming of buying a home on the coast, planning your visa pathway, or simply exploring what life here can look like, Portugal Property & Life was created to guide you every step of the way.
I’m Liesa, an American who has lived in Portugal for years, a relocation mentor, and a licensed real estate professional. My team and I help Americans and other global expats avoid overwhelm, avoid scams, and make confident decisions as they build a new life in one of the safest, most welcoming countries on earth. Kelli, also American, has lived here for 25 years!
This site brings together everything I wish I had when I moved here.
