What people say about our replies
I made an enquiry about searching for a previously owned property in Portugal. It was a complicated enquiry about a property owned more than 40 years ago. Investropa responded positively that same afternoon.
I discovered Investropa through an LLM search, and wrote to the team to learn more. I was impressed by their kindness and their responsiveness.
Thank you so much for the extra research you made.
I didn't know much about international real estate at first, but they made everything so clear and easy to follow. I had tons of questions, and the support team was always there with helpful, reassuring answers.
I had a few questions before purchasing, and their team replied almost instantly on a weekend. Not only did they answer my questions, they also gave me extra insights on the market.
I was considering buying property in France, but I had no idea where to start. I finally understood all the hidden fees I could have missed.
Before you ask
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, nothing to pay, nothing to sign up for. We use your email only to reply.
Why would you answer for free?
We're building our next tool for buyers, and the best way to build it right is to hear what people actually get stuck on. Your question helps us; our answer helps you.
Who answers?
Someone from our team, not a bot. A real person reads your message and writes back to you personally, from team@investropa.com.
Do you answer everything?
Every serious question gets a real answer. Our time is precious, so it's a fair deal: you tell us where you're buying, how far along you are and what's blocking you, and we take the time to answer properly. A message of a few words won't get a reply.
What if you can't help?
We'll say so, and point you to the right kind of person (lawyer, notary, broker) when we can.
Is this legal advice?
No. We're not lawyers. We give you clear, practical answers and tell you when you need a professional.
