Patricia holds a degree in Tourism and Hospitality and a Master’s in Service Excellence for Business, bringing a client-service standard shaped by international hospitality experience.
As an expat herself, Patricia understands the difference between knowing about a place and actually figuring out how to live there, and she brings that experience to every rental search.
Her professional background spans several countries, giving her a strong understanding of what international clients need when relocating to an unfamiliar rental market.
She has been based in Vigo for over five years, giving her current, first-hand knowledge of the local rental market and neighbourhoods.
Patricia has spent over five years building local relationships and market knowledge in Galicia through her own work and business ventures there, giving her practical connections that benefit clients searching for a rental.
“Finding a place to live from another country felt nearly impossible until I connected with Patricia. Within days, I was viewing apartments that actually matched what I was looking for. She helped me understand the neighborhoods, translated when needed, and even guided me through things I didn’t know existed, like padrón registration and healthcare paperwork. Having a professional like her in my corner removed so much stress from the move.”
