" Don’t buy a house in France” they said. “It’s too hard”. Clearly they haven’t encountered French Character Homes. Joanne and Jean-Marc run a fantastic agency, which is at once friendly and efficient. They respond quickly and from the outset understood, before we did, the kind of area that might suit us. They are very down to earth and don’t waste your time with the over sell. They have good properties and they are good at reading a client’s needs. With Joanne’s native English and Jean-Marc’s on the ground local knowledge they are a great duo.

The process for us took about 2 years – to look, decide and buy and we never got a sense of impatience from them. And once we settled, they were incredibly helpful with suggestions for trades-people and extra help to maintain the house as well as passing on the contacts for a few new English speaking locals to help before our French becomes fluent!

The process was made so much easier with Joanne and Jean-Marc. A very happy experience. Above and beyond. "
