About UsA Private Advisory for Life in Portugal
Gateways is a boutique advisory service supporting individuals and investors who choose Portugal as their place to live, acquire property, or build a home.
We provide a refined, discreet, and highly personal service that extends far beyond traditional estate agency or relocation assistance.
Our promise is simple: to bring clarity, ease, and confidence to every stage of your transition.
Our FounderGateways was founded by Olivia, whose Portuguese heritage and career across eight countries have shaped a rare depth of insight into international life.
Having navigated the complexities of relocating abroad, from the administrative challenges and cultural adjustments to the emotional significance of creating a new home, Olivia understands precisely what clients require: a calm and trusted presence who can act on their behalf.
Her experience across global environments informs Gateways’ thoughtful approach: international in perspective, local in knowledge, and deeply personal in execution.
Our Values Our philosophy is grounded in discretion, protecting your privacy at every step; independence, with no affiliations, or conflicts of interest; and precision, offering clear guidance supported by meticulous attention to detail. A composed, understated approach, and we treat every client, and every journey, as entirely unique, shaping our service around individual needs with thoughtful personalisation.
