Real State Agencies with physical presence limited to few retail shops, but specialized in luxury market segments or higher demand in some portuguese cities, especially aimed at non-residents of Portugal.
All of them have bilingual teams, with projects spread throughout the Portuguese territory. They answer the issues of remoteness and the questioning of people who do not live in Portugal and need a specialist to accompany them. Some of these real state agencies are fully dedicated to premium properties.

Complain about misconduct of real estate agents
If you want to complain about misconduct by real estate agents, instead of complaining here and generalising to the whole country, just because you had a bad experience with an estate agent in particular, you can complain to IMPIC, which is the agency that deals with complaints about real estate agencies in Portugal.
Gov official website about how to make a complaint to IMPIC :

If any website above is in portuguese, please try to select English or other available language, somewhere at the top/bottom of the page.

The one thing you will find is that most real estate agencies will not focus on rentals and vice versa. Specialist rental sites are starting to appear, not sure if I can publish names here but I am sure Admin will say if they wish us to put it out there. This is important as many people are moving to Portugal without having detailed knowledge and so need time to see what area is best for them.
There are also businesses now starting to offer buyer services (a little like the MLS system in the US where you have a buy-side and sell-side representative)
Almost of these real estate agencies offer rentals services for portuguese and expats.
The problem with rentals for expats is that due to the difficulty with the language, they require services that help them in this work. But that obviously is charged....
Anyone who is interested in buying or renting a property in Portugal should ideally look for the property by yourself in some of the websites available. In Portugal, there is a huge offer of properties, at various prices and for different market targets.
You should not be limited only by a real estate agency/consultant or a house suggestion from any of the members of this forum.
Most real estate consultants in Portugal speak a good English. Ideally these links suggested here (or others you will find out), allow you to start your search, get an idea of what you want in terms of prices and locations, and only after that, you should contact one or more real estate agencies.
Virtual Tours:
By using technology, you can see if a property fits your needs without leaving your home.
Who uses virtual property tour services in Portugal?
1) Customers who wish to buy remotely
2) Clients who wish to validate a property before a physical visit on-site
Also some real estate agencies can make guided tours by videoconference.

Eg.
At Idealista portal, you can select: Menu / 'Listing Type' option / 'With a virtual tour' option
From the resulting search list you can select the house you want to see; and below the property descrition, you can make the 360-virtual tour.
_____
In most real estate agencies websites, you can select option boxes "virtual tour/visita virtual" and/or "video" in your research, to filter properties:
