The Algarve is one of Europe’s most desirable regions — known for its year-round sunshine, golden beaches, and relaxed lifestyle. It’s no wonder that more and more Dutch people are choosing to buy a home or settle permanently in southern Portugal.
But while the dream is clear, the process can feel complex: new rules, legal documents, and of course, a different language. That’s exactly why Van Rulo Real Estate was founded — to guide Dutch clients through every step of the Algarve property journey with confidence and ease.
At Van Rulo Real Estate, communication comes first.
We understand that buying a property abroad involves trust — and that trust begins with understanding. Our team speaks fluent Dutch and Portuguese, which means we can explain every detail to you clearly while also communicating smoothly with local lawyers, notaries, and sellers.
No misunderstandings, no lost translations — just clear, direct communication from start to finish.
As a Dutch-run agency, we know exactly what our clients value: honesty, transparency, and efficiency.
By combining that Dutch work ethic with deep local knowledge of the Algarve property market, we bridge the cultural gap — ensuring you get the best of both worlds.
Whether you’re buying a villa, an apartment, or an investment property, you can rely on our local insight, network of professionals, and personalized approach.
Buying property in Portugal involves several steps — from viewing to dealing with lawyers, notaries, and banks. Our team assists you through every stage, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
Because we speak the language, we can handle all communication with local institutions on your behalf, saving you time and preventing confusion.
Van Rulo Real Estate was created for Dutch and Belgian clients who want to feel understood — not just linguistically, but culturally.
We know how important clarity, structure, and transparency are in every decision. You’ll always know where you stand, what the next step is, and what to expect — no surprises.
Doing business in your own language is about more than comfort — it’s about confidence.
When you can express yourself fully, ask every question, and understand every answer, the process becomes smoother, faster, and far more enjoyable.
At Van Rulo Real Estate, we make sure you feel at home in the Algarve, even before you’ve moved in.
