Property finding services: they listen, search and show you the most suitable properties

It’s as simple as that really. Jacquie and Brian used property finders - sometimes called buying agents - to help them find their place in the Vendee now they assist others to do the same by identifying the right area and property but then also going through the differences between buying property in English-speaking countries and France. Having fun along the way is also important!

Listening to your wish list is key. Sometimes people have a clear list, other times they need some help with identifying what their dream property would be like. Remember your new home must not only look good but fit your lifestyle. Whether it is going to be your holiday home or permanent base, they will help you to track down the perfect home in the perfect setting.

After identifying your needs, they seek out and visit a wide selection of local properties and draw up a shortlist of the best sending an honest report on each, along with independent photographs so that you can be confident that ‘what you see is what you get’. They can also advise on travelling to the area and even meet you at the airport or arrange a tour of the area to familiarise yourself before you draw up your shortlist. They usually spend two days going around shortlisted properties and are on hand to ask questions of the owners/estate agents, so it doesn't matter if your French is a bit rusty.
