Issue No. 14

Tell us a little about your job...
Every client is different and when they are
looking for a home – be it a permanent
move or a holiday residence – I really enjoy
spending a bit of time finding out what
they like doing and what is motivating their
move. The most recent sale I handled is a
new home for a British couple who have
just purchased a gorgeous gite complex
close to Richelieu. That moment in the
notaire’s office when everyone shakes
hands and congratulates each other is
always feels so full of emotion – the end of
a long journey in some ways, and the brink
of a new adventure; that for me is the
satisfaction of a job well done!
What 3 key pieces of advice do you
give to your clients when they’re
looking for property in the area?
To visit a few properties on the same day –
you might love the first one but a
comparison point is always useful
To do your second visit at a different time
of day, when the light, the traffic etc might
be different
To keep your mind open for a
compromise – sometimes people have
such long lists of criteria they rule out a
property that could have been (almost)
perfect!
