About Olivia H.

Welcome to Gateways Portugal by Olivia H., managed by me, Olivia Houssiaux. I am an expat myself, having lived in over six countries.

With a 100% success rate, since 2015 I’ve been helping foreigners move to and invest in Portugal. My own relocation experiences and investments give me a deep understanding of the challenges and emotional stress that come with starting anew.  

My team of highly responsive and dynamic, multi-lingual professionals have all experienced relocating themselves.

We not only understand the ins and outs of relocation, we fully appreciate the emotional rollercoaster it can cause. Our team of fully-vetted partners consists of lawyers, real estate advisors, relocation consultants, financial experts and even relocation coaches amongst others.  

Our diverse services and experience allow us to focus on creating a unique plan to make your transition stress-free, whether moving to, residing in or Leaving Portugal.

Let’s navigate this journey together and turn your dreams into reality!

We appreciate the good things our Clients say about us…

  • Kathryn N.

    "I have worked with Olivia over the past 3 years and I continue to be amazed by her level of professionalism, expertise and care. She has truly been my saving grace as an American expat trying to navigate the confusing and sometimes chaotic real estate market here in Portugal. I have been faced with many stressful moments as both a buyer and a seller, but I can always count on Olivia to give me honest feedback and a clear plan for moving forward."

  • Sheila O.

    "We cannot praise Olivia enough for how well she takes care of our apartment when we are out of town... We have total peace of mind and comfort that she will take care of things, large and small, when we are not in town. She is responsive, professional, and always good humored. We highly recommend her services!"

  • Tammy S.

    "We used Olivia's services for our relocation to Portugal from the US. She helped us with every request we made. She is extremely responsive, very reliable, and has trusted sources in key industries (banking, car purchase, house services) that made the move seamless. She helped us find a property, negotiate the price, and execute the documents, organised/registered the services we needed and helped with making changes we wanted in the house. I could not imagine making this move without her."

  • Oliver M.

    "Five stars. I will do anything with this team. There is nothing they could not do or fix. Altogether I can strongly recommend working with Olivia."

  • Pedro C.

    "I couldn't have felt safer with this investment and renovation. Olivia was very helpful and extremely competent. Their communication skills, persistence and can-do attitude helped me take every decision consciously and safely. We are currently looking for another property to renovate due to the successful outcome."

  • Alex T.

    "Olivia is reliable, well connected, and able to execute a range of tasks - from taking care of utilities set-up to checking in on properties; from troubleshooting seemingly intractable problems to providing helpful advice. We have worked with her for six years and highly recommend her services."

  • Stuart G.

    "I have known and worked with Olivia for a number of years and have and continue to be impressed with her work ethic, professionalism, expertise and duty of care. I am busy in a number of countries and without her in Portugal it would not have been possible. I would be happy to speak to any of her potential clients to endorse this."

  • Beverley B.

    "I have been working with Olivia for the last few years in both property purchases and property management... It's peace of mind to know that any problem that might arise whilst I'm away, will be taken care of rapidly and correctly. I'm really impressed with her professionalism, expertise and personally for her care and attention. I would certainly recommend her to anyone."

  • Megan U.

    "Olivia was a life-saver when my husband and I needed to quickly find a flat to lease in late 2023... We wholeheartedly recommend Olivia's services — we continue to be impressed with the team’s hardworking, pleasant, efficient and results-oriented operations."

  • Karen D.

    "Olivia provided an excellent and friendly service when I was looking for an apartment in Cascais, I had very little time to find somewhere and they made the process simple and straightforward, answered all of my questions, I am now loving life here! I highly recommend Olivia if you need to find somewhere and you want everything to be taken care of!"
