After more than 40 years living in the United States, Peter and Paula decided they wanted to enjoy early retirement somewhere that offered a welcoming atmosphere, nature and a slower pace of life.
With the help of Portugal Realty and the Simple Life Home Buyer team, they eventually found all of that on Portugal’s Silver Coast… and they did it without the stress!
The Simple Life Home Buyer experience
Peter and Paula's story was featured in a "My Home in Portugal" episode of Portugal The Simple Life Podcast, hosted by Dylan Herholdt.
Peter first heard about Dylan and the Simple Life Home Buyer experience back in the United States, listening to the podcast but not really sure how to overcome the biggest hurdle of all: feeling confident enough to buy a property from thousands of kilometres away.
Because buying property abroad inevitably comes with uncertainty. But having a trusted team that takes care of every step, and has already helped hundreds of international buyers through the same journey, makes all the difference.
That’s why they called Dylan and ultimately found the home they were dreaming of, on Portugal’s Silver Coast.
“We couldn’t have done it without the team at Portugal Realty, because we were in the States! We couldn’t open this, couldn’t do that, couldn’t get the electricity going... Basically, the whole service for everything. You don’t have to have any worries.”
What is the Simple Life Home Buyer programme?
Simple Life Home Buyer properties are specifically designed for international buyers seeking expert guidance at every stage of purchasing a property in Portugal. Regardless of whether they plan to relocate, use it as a holiday home or as an investment property to generate income through rentals, every step is taken care of by our in-house team of property specialists.
Today, Peter and Paula are enjoying exactly the lifestyle they were looking for.
Their apartment at Vale Furado Beach & Nature Retreat overlooks the Atlantic and is surrounded by a protected forest, dunes and walking trails.
Instead of traffic, they wake up to the sound of the sea:
“A lot of times we just sit here, don’t do anything, and enjoy being in front of the ocean.”
For them, that’s exactly what retirement abroad was supposed to look like.
