As a leading international property agency, it is renowned for helping individuals and families achieve their dream of living in Portugal-and across the globe. Combining global reach with deep local expertise, Fine & Country Algarve delivers highly personalised guidance, ensuring every client enjoys a seamless transition to life in Portugal.

Supported by its international headquarters on Park Lane in London and a network of over 300 offices worldwide, Fine & Country Algarve boasts a diverse, multilingual team. Fluent in Portuguese, English, French, German, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Swedish, Spanish and Italian, the team is uniquely equipped to support clients from around the world-whether relocating permanently, purchasing a second home, or investing in property. Fine & Country Algarve also works closely with the other Fine & Portugal offices located in Lisbon, Cascais and Comporta.

Zoie Hawker, Managing Partner of Fine & Country Algarve, highlights the importance of continuity and trust in the buying process: “Over the last few years we have sold to buyers from over 30 different countries. Because we work predominantly with international clients, the process can often take two years or more from initial contact to completion. It’s vital that clients deal with the same agent throughout, building a relationship that ensures we truly understand their needs.”

The agency maintains a strong international presence through regular participation in global property and relocation events. Jorge Pereira, Director of Operations, explains:“These events give potential buyers the support they need and allow us to meet them face-to-face, often at the very beginning of their journey.”

Fine & Country Algarve has attended every edition of the Moving to Portugal Show in London since 2017, organised by the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK, and regularly participates in the “Living in Portugal” roadshows across major US cities. Their international events schedule also spans Canada, Brazil, Ireland, France and South Africa.

What truly sets Fine & Country Algarve apart is its comprehensive, end-to-end service. Clients benefit from expert assistance with property sales and purchases, rentals, valuations and full property management-ensuring homes are maintained even when owners are abroad. Dedicated buyer representation and discreet marketing strategies further enhance the offering, particularly for clients who value privacy. A full time in-house lawyer at the regional head office in Carvoeiro ensures that the highest levels of legal compliance are respected and adhered to.

“Our brand has existed for 25 years and continues to grow with a strong reputation,” says Jorge. “In the UK, Fine & Country was rated last year by YouGov as the most recognised estate agency brands in the upper quartile of the market. The brand also sits in second place in the ranking of the UK’s leading estate agencies in terms of listings and volume of business in the upper quartile, just behind Savills.”

Since launching in the Algarve in 2013, the agency has built an impressive list of accolades. At the 2025 annual Fine & Country conference in London, Fine & Country Algarve received awards including Best Marketing, Best European agent, Best Social Media and Best International Agent. Jorge notes: “These awards are particularly meaningful because we are judged alongside more than 300 Fine & Country offices worldwide, creating a true level playing field.”

Presentation and marketing are central to the agency’s success. With a full-time in-house videographer and photographer, properties are showcased through compelling visual storytelling. A carefully curated database of over 14,000 contacts allows targeted marketing to the right buyers, while a strong commitment to high-quality print publications-including bespoke magazines-ensures maximum exposure.

Fine & Country Algarve also operates a distinctive business model within the Portuguese real estate market. Unlike many agencies that rely solely on commission-based sales teams, all staff are salaried, fostering collaboration rather than competition. “We have 23 team members, all working together with full management support,” Zoie explains. “This approach has resulted in exceptional staff retention and a more cohesive client experience.”

Beyond property, the agency is committed to giving back. As a member of the Fine & Country Foundation, a contribution from every sale supports charitable initiatives. Locally, the team has supported organisations such as an orphanage in Alvor and Madrugada, which provides care for the elderly in the Algarve. Also in support of the local community, the company is a sponsor of the junior team at Loulé Rugby Club.

With four offices across the Algarve-in Carvoeiro, Albufeira, Almancil and Tavira-Fine & Country Algarve is ideally positioned to assist clients at every stage of their property journey.
