Our Services
Want to view a house but can't just drop everything to visit Portugal?
Trying to view and buy or rent a house in Portugal is not easy, and when an interesting prospect comes on the market you can't just drop everything and come to Portugal on the next plane! It can also be a real challenge to communicate with selling agents here.
We provide independent virtual house viewing services tailored for potential buyers who are unable to visit Portugal in person. We film detailed walkthroughs of properties, highlighting key features and providing a comprehensive look at each home. This allows buyers to experience the property remotely and make informed decisions without the need to travel. After filming, we send the video to our clients, ensuring they have all the information they need about the property.
Visa Property Search Service
It's not always possible to jump on on a plane from a far away country to go apartment or house hunting! On top of that, dealing with realtors/estate agents can be tricky because they do not work the same way as the USA or UK.
With our viewing services, you can select apartments or houses online, and we contact the agents and 'view' the property on your behalf with the same care and attention as if it was for ourselves.
Property 'pop-in' Service
We offer a monthly, or one off property pop in service to give you peace of mind when you are not able to be full time at your Portugal home.
This might be your holiday home, or a home that you are planning to move to in the future. What is a property pop-in? It's a service where we pop in monthly or ad hoc and check all the important things.
We can also look after pets that are ok at home but need a regular food, cuddle etc!
We can also do holiday pop in's if you are away for a while, with the same checks. We can even check on your housesitters!

Who are Your Casa Care? ...
We are Gary and Shelley, we moved to Portugal fulltime in 2023 but purchased a house two years before.
We had a very challenging time trying to actually view any properties - it was hard to get any realtors to respond to us when we lived outside Portugal, let alone let us view any properties!
It was this experience that drove us to set up Your Casa Care because these are the services we wished had been offered in a 'one stop shop' when we moved!
Our background
Gary has an extensive background in professional photography, and project management and a love of all things tech. He is an avid Apple fan having worked for them in the past and in his spare time loves nothing more than cruising on his Royal Enfield motorbike.
Shelley worked in professional property management for Savills, but her real passion is interior design so she can be found with a paintbrush in hand when Gary is out riding his bike.
Joint passions are walking the beautiful trails of Central Portugal and beyond with our two dogs, and exploring the world in our self-build camper van.
We both understand what top notch service should look like, and we are passionate about delivering the very best to our clients!
