About Compass Property Sales

Originally from northern Germany, Sandra pursued her education across Denmark, the Netherlands and Portugal before choosing to make Portugal her permanent home in 2005. Her connection with Tavira and the Eastern Algarve began during a national table tennis competition — an experience that inspired her decision to settle in the region she now calls home.

Sandra began her real estate career in 2007 and has since earned a reputation as one of the most respected and trusted property professionals in the Eastern Algarve. Known for her professionalism, integrity and deep local expertise, she provides a multilingual advantage to clients, speaking fluent German, Portuguese, English, and French.

Originally from Bolton, Greater Manchester in the UK, Paul always had a passion for international living. After many visits to the Algarve throughout the 1990s, he made the move permanent in 2000.

With more than two decades of experience in the Algarve property market, Paul spent his first 11 years specialising in residential sales and development plots within the Golden Triangle. From 2011, he expanded his focus to include key Central Algarve areas such as Vilamoura, Boliqueime, Loulé, Almancil, São Brás, Santa Bárbara de Nexe, and Estoi. Since co-founding Compass Property Sales in 2020, Paul has developed a strong connection with Tavira and the Eastern Algarve, bringing his extensive knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm to the region.

 A Tavira native, Sara brings a wealth of industry experience and local insight to her role at Compass Property Sales. She began her career in 2002, working with both local and national agencies, where she developed a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the real estate market.

After a brief period working outside the industry, Sara returned to her passion for property and joined Compass Property Sales as Client & Property Portfolio Manager. Her deep local knowledge, dedication to client service and commitment to excellence make her an invaluable member of the team.
