Hear from Our Clients

“We must admit we don’t watch a lot of House Hunters International episodes (just those with the Adrian Leeds appearances), however, we feel our Nice 2026 rental journey could have been made an epic HHI episode – the lows, the highs, and all the in between. Throughout it all, you and your team maintained the perfect balance of “we will find it” and “it’s the French way.” Your team kept us going and, in the end, VOILA, we found the apartment of our dreams! Merci for every little detail, we couldn’t have done it without you all, and would be more than happy to recommend you in the future.”

“I just wanted to thank you for helping me to find an apartment and open a bank account in Nice. It was really very comforting that I had the support of your team throughout this process! I am still exploring Nice, and I keep reminding myself of the advice you gave me during our first zoom meeting. You said I should give myself one year before deciding where I want to live in France. It was really great advice!”

“We sincerely thank you for all of your help throughout our Nice home buying journey. Purchasing a home is a big milestone on its own, but doing so in a new location and a new country made it even more significant for us. Your guidance, patience, and deep local expertise made all the difference.You helped us navigate unfamiliar processes with confidence and provided insight that we simply couldn’t have found on our own. Because of you, what could have felt overwhelming instead felt smooth, informed, and even enjoyable. You truly made the entire experience a pleasure, and we’re so grateful to have had you by our side during such an important transition. Thank you again for everything: we couldn’t have done this without you.”

“I walked out of the Nice train station and was dazzled by the somewhat shabby historical elegance, the veneer of deeply-etched urban life, the colors everywhere. I went swimming that first evening, bobbing in the blue as the horizon changed colors. The next day, your property consultant had come up with two apartments to see: one absolutely gorgeous, but at the tippy top of our price range, and one that was more modest in every way, while still ticked off all the boxes of our priorities. Even though I had always said that there was no way I would ever settle for seeing only three places, we were very seriously interested in the less expensive apartment. That is how we find ourselves having paid in full for an apartment in the Heraclès, a Modern Movement 1960 building on a street at the northwestern edge of Musiciens, with messy views of the train tracks as you walk up the block. From the center of Nice, virtually everything is walkable…Our days there are such a joy, that we can’t quite believe we are free to invent our future in that setting. In the spirit of Carnaval, you “can be whatever you want to be…”

“Absolutely, I would recommend the Adrian Leeds Group! The Adrian Leeds Group handles all the issues that could arise when moving to another country. They have experts in place to take the worries off our shoulders.When questions arise, they are there and responsive with answers. In a tight rental market, our agent found a beautiful apartment in only a few days! The search was probably quicker than most, but the apartment was beautiful, large and centrally located in Nice.”

“Adrian is a no-nonsense person who is ready to deal with any situation to help relocate Americans to France. The company is truly a one-stop location to meet any issue.  I absolutely trusted that they would work in our interests! They listen to wants, concerns, and worries and develops a plan to help streamline the process of moving to France. Without someone like Adrian in our corner, the process would have been frustrating and much more expensive! The visa application process, property searches, and utilities hook-up were all issues that members of the team helped with. The process was simplified and demystified by the team, which made a frustrating process easy! The Adrian Leeds Group helped us with every step in what is a very complicated process. They have experts for every issue that comes up in the process of relocating to another country. It’s truly an intimidating process when French is the only language spoken, but the experts at Adrian Leeds Group make that process doable. Now we can look forward to our new life in Nice, France!”

“Thank you for everything you have done for us. The Adrian Leeds Group is lucky to have such a wonderful agent, and we hope they know it. If we need to go through ALG in the future, we wouldn’t want anyone else. We knew there would be stress moving to another country, but we had no idea it would be next level stress. You made this part feel like a cool breeze on a warm summers day with a glass of wine in our hands.Once again, thank you for your attention and expertise in making this expat transition like it was a piece of cake! We look forward to all future events with your team and the expat groups here in Nice, as well as exploring our new home in France, and Europe!”

“We would recommend ALG without hesitation for Americans looking to buy or rent in Nice. Our experience was wonderful due to the work of our agent who truly made the process enjoyable and surprisingly easy. While we were prepared for a rather lengthy process, we unexpectedly found a great property within days and closed in less than three months. The first property she showed us met most of our criteria, especially location, and after visiting a couple of other properties, we opted for the first one even though one of us didn’t view it until signing the contract.

The experience with ALG was above and beyond our expectations. To be clear, it was a situation where preparation met opportunity. We had spent a couple of years: watching webinars; YouTube videos; Adrian Leeds on House Hunters International; deciding on location; looking at properties for sale on French websites; reviewing ALG’s website; establishing a budget; and having financing in place. While one of us is a retired real estate attorney the only advantage was that we knew to let the experts at ALG handle things for us. Most importantly, in the end, we trusted the process and followed the guidance of ALG’s agent and the Notaire.”

“First and most importantly, our agent understood what we wanted from our Paris apartment more than we did! We were open to a few arrondissements that he knew would not be a good fit, and deftly steered us to the 11th arrondissement on the border of the 3rd. Second, he was quick! In less than three weeks we had a lease signed for the apartment of our dreams! The agent was super helpful and set-up all the utilities we needed and was available on short notice to meet our sister-in-law to show her around the apartment and get her settled. Additionally, he was super responsive and always available. I thought the process was excellent! We received a great list and were encouraged to provide our own listings that we had discovered as well. This collaboration led him to investigate one of the units we found, which we ended up renting! There are a couple of reasons ALG was our go-to source. One is the fact that the ALG can handle everything! From finding and getting us settled in the apartment, to setting up the apartment utilities, to banking and money movement to France, as well as our Visa, ALG provided us with everything we needed. Second, expertise. Everyone at the ALG is an obvious expert in their field. We knew we could trust ALG due to the obvious expertise of the staff and their ability to really understand what we were looking for in our apartment. Our agent intuitively knew that the apartment was a key part of the lifestyle we wanted to enjoy when in Paris and how the apartment fit into that lifestyle. Yes, ALG saved us money! First off, I was convinced finding a place would have taken us 3 months and $30,000 in travel costs as compared to two weeks and $3,500. Working with the ALG is like pushing the EASY button! The process could not have been easier and yes, we totally enjoyed the experience!“

“We would recommend Adrian Leeds Group without hesitation. The process from start to finish in making the move from the US to Paris and finding an apartment in Paris couldn’t have been easier. The consultant was absolutely lovely to consult with and very responsive to all of our follow up questions. The agent found us an amazing apartment and has been beyond helpful before, during and after our move. The search process was seamless. Our apartment definitely exceeds our expectations. Having seen Adrian on House Hunters, watching her informative videos and reading reviews from others made it clear ALG was who we needed to make our move to France. We felt very comfortable working with both staff members. Without question we could not have done this on our own so the process clearly saved us time. We got the exact services we needed and did not over pay. We really enjoyed the experience working with ALG.”

“The Adrian Leeds Group has offered incredible information, strategic guidance, and direct service that has made our transition into living in Paris in retirement possible. Above and beyond was assistance with understanding the lease for the furnished apartment with respect to the content of the agreement and its appendices. Our ALG search consultant took time to respond to our questions, particularly important since we are novices in French. The property exceeds our expectations. The location of the apartment, coupled with recent renovations, make this an ideal home for us. Our ALG search consultant listened carefully to our interests and worked with his contacts to secure an apartment quickly for us.

In addition, he assisted in seeing through the details regarding payments to the owner and their agency and the provision of our renter’s insurance information and certificate when needed. The ALG both provides exceptional service and has an extensive network of professionals to guide clients through the transition process. We consulted with an attorney with the Daniel Tostado group, an agent with Fab Insurance, Jonathan Hadida, and Kelly Cutchin with Moneycorp about their services in relation to our needs. Each was very informative and personable. From these providers, we received excellent advice on applying for our visa, purchased our health insurance, put into place our tax planning with our new tax advisor and accountant, and set up a Moneycorp account from which we are transferring funds. And each step along the way, the trust became stronger. I am totally confident in working with the ALG team. As I am approaching retirement, time is money. ALG saved me a lot of time. Furthermore, I imagine that without assistance from the ALG, our time in Paris would have begun in an Airbnb and we would have spent countless hours and experienced significant frustration attempting to find a rental property on our own. From the initial consultation with Adrian that came after we had watched numerous webinars offered by the ALG to this point, the process has been easy. The team’s expertise and guidance has helped us to generate materials needed for an efficient and enjoyable transition.”

“For someone in the US, the ability to find and purchase property in France is extremely difficult as there is no MLS database to search active properties. We found that most of the properties shown on websites and agencies in Paris are not really available. Adrian Leeds fills that gap through their extensive contacts. Through Adrian Leeds, we were connected to an outstanding agent who met with us and gathered details on what we were looking for. Within a week, we were visiting properties that were for sale and settled on one that matched our needs.

Contacts with notaries, inspections, sellers, currency brokers, insurance agents, etc. were all managed seamlessly. Without Adrian Leeds we would have been lost in what to do and how to do it. So, did we want a property in Paris or did we want to stumble for months or years traveling back and forth to figure it out? Adrian Leeds delivered! Our agent went above and beyond to help us find the right property. Of course, she spoke excellent English and French to converse seamlessly with us and with selling agents that in some cases spoke no English.

Every step of the way she directed us on how to set up accounts with currency exchange brokers as well as fully understanding what steps and who needed to do them made everything painless! In many ways it was like having a Fast Pass at Disneyland where roadblocks and hurdles are removed from your sight. The search process was so easy!! The agent found properties that met our high-level requirements. Our purpose in buying this property was to have a nice and comfortable place to spend months every year in Paris and have easy access to Europe. She listened to all our feedback as we went property to property.

Ultimately, we found what we were looking for and made the purchase. Given our budget and space requirements, I am extremely pleased with our choice. Having a single coordinator for everything made the difference. If I had to go and find properties and figure out how to schedule viewings with agents that don’t speak English, along with managing all the legal aspects, nothing would have happened. Trust is a big thing, especially in a foreign country. Their agent gained our trust immediately and just made it happen without any prompting on our side. She knew what to do and how to do it. What was saved more than money was time and travel to and from the US to Paris. It might have taken us 4 or 5 or maybe more trips before we would have even started to comprehend everything that goes into purchasing in Paris. Would I have liked to just look online and converse in French and know all the legal and contractual requirements? Sure. Is that something I could have done? No way. If you value your time the way I do, Adrian Leeds is the way to go.“

“During our combined careers we have been fortunate to live in a variety of countries overseas, so are not unfamiliar with the challenges and joys associated with settling into a new home. That said, our moves were usually supported by the government, the military, international schools, or a company. This time was different. As retired people, we decided to move to France, a country we love–but this time we would be doing it on our own. We managed to secure our VLS-TS visas, but realized that we would need help and support once we arrived in France. We were right! Familiar with the ALG through House Hunter’s International, we did some research and ‘Zoomed’ with Adrian before our move, after which we signed up as clients and have no regrets! Communication with the team was exemplary and fast as they helped us to navigate next steps. And then, the best, once we were ready to begin our search for an apartment, we were assigned a property relocation specialist who was THE BEST. He first met with us to get to know us and our needs–and searched for apartments for us to view. He had us figured out because we picked the very first one and we love it! We have lived in our Paris apartment for over a month now–and are grateful to ALG for helping us navigate viewing, lease signing, problem solving, setting up a bank account and related services, and even helping us with some technology snafus. We feel rather clever to have chosen the Adrian Leeds Group and feel extremely fortunate to have had the support of the fabulous ALG. We highly recommend ALG for your move!”

“I would recommend the Adrian Leeds Group because: Professional. Great network of connections. Great depth of experience. Your agent found us the perfect apartment and we took it sight-unseen. He knew what we needed and we trusted him. The process was clearly explained. He was energetic and proactive and really understood what we valued most in trying to find a home. The peace of mind is worth it and I would do it again. You made the process as stress free as I think the French experience could be. You provided a team of experienced professionals with a great network of agents to tap into. They know Paris and they know how to get you smoothly through the French bureaucratic experience. Choose Adrian Leeds for the apartment of your dreams.”

“Thank you and all the team for your help in making this happen!! Your agent was instrumental in making us feel comfortable and confident that finding a property was possible. We really enjoyed working with her! She was able to find a variety of places and also really took our personal input on things of what would work or not work. Ultimately, she found a place that met our needs and that is what we moved forward with. If someone wanted to speak with me I would be happy to provide the positive experiences we had with your team.”

“Thank you so much for everything. We certainly would have had a very rough time without you. I can’t say enough good things about you all. Your help has been invaluable and we will never forget it.”

I’m writing to tell you how absolutely delighted my husband and I have been with you and your company’s service in Nice. We have been very well cared from the beginning by your staff who caught the vision of our Nice dream, and has helped begin to turn it into a reality. As we described our dream apartment in Nice, your consultant immediately caught the vision and helped us narrow down to three properties, then she pulled off the feat, with her fabulous tenacity, of scheduling these three apartments’ showings on the same day, and this during August, the vacation season! We feel we are in such good hands with the Adrian Leeds company, since your staff is so helpful at helping us understand the specific needs and steps of the property purchase, and we feel safe in the hands of your experienced company Notaire. The whole experience has been a joy so far, and we LOVE the apartment in Old Town, Nice, exactly at the location we were hoping for! Location, location, location!

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude to you [ALG’s Search Consultant] for all of the support and assistance you have provided us in this journey to begin our life in Nice, France! From having the connection with our landlord and making our Adrian Leeds Group apartment search consultant aware of the apartment we now happily inhabit, to connecting our internet, electric, phone and guiding us through opening a French bank account, you have provided excellent, friendly service that has made a huge difference in our ability to make the transition to our new country. You were with us throughout the appointments you had made for us at the bank and at Orange, communicating with Amelie at the bank and with us until the process was complete, and at Orange until we had secured our cable and internet and French phone number.

Your attention to client service has contributed to our very positive feelings about having entered into an agreement with Adrian Leeds Group to help us find our apartment and to maneuver the most important tasks associated with making such a huge move and establishing a new life here in Nice, especially since we are not fluent French speakers! You have also cheerfully and professionally engaged with our landlord to ameliorate some of the “hiccups” we have experienced since we signed our lease, and helped us to navigate a requirement to register as residents of the Port in advance of the UN Oceans Conference that begins on Monday. Instead of telling us to call the French number and “just hope you get someone who speaks English,” you took the extra three minutes to call the number, speak to the individual and find out what and where we needed to go to accomplish the task.

Lastly, thank you for sharing the connections that have within the community so that we could, in turn, connect easily with reputable painters and handymen, and resources for bedding and appliances— all based on your experience and a genuine desire to be of service to clients.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you, Adrian! Of course you won’t be surprised to hear that your team member was an absolute star from start to finish. This genuinely could not have happened without her. She guided us, nudged us, pushed us and pulled us to the point where we now own and are about to move into our absolute perfect Lyon apartment. Without her expertise, knowledge and support, goodness knows where we’d be now, how many mistakes we would’ve made along the way, and how much it would’ve cost us in terms of time and money.

My wife and I used Adrian LeedsGroup for our relocation to Nice, France. We used both the banking services as well as the apartment relocation. The staff were extremely friendly and responsive. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would gladly use the services again if needed. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with The Adrian Leeds Group to find a rental property, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping me find the perfect place that met all my needs. They listened carefully to my preferences, provided thoughtful recommendations, and guided me through the process with ease.

Their dedication and expertise made what could have been a stressful experience both seamless and enjoyable. They went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied.

Thank you for your outstanding support—I highly recommend!

The Adrian Leeds Group made it very easy for us to find an apartment. Having Adrian’s agent as our realtor was priceless. He listened to my wishes, he wasn’t pushy, and he was so professional. It was always nice to talk to him and he was very responsive.

We needed to work with an English speaking company and doing so saved us so much time. It was a service worth paying for.

Our agent made the process easy! It was a very pleasant experience. I can highly recommend the Adrian Leeds Group. We had such a stressless apartment search, they did everything for us in the nicest way!

We’ve recently just (sadly) returned from Nice…a fabulous two months in our home. Just a little note to tell you how happy we are not just with our flat, but with the whole idea of what you and your team have accomplished.

Your agent, is the most amazing, wonderful and charming woman I’ve ever met. She has created a warm and welcoming community for all of your clients. She organizes Friday Evening outings. Either she chooses a different restaurant/bar or boozy beach Fridays. What we love about her Fridays, it’s always a welcomed surprise. A wonderful way to discover little places all over Nice…with instant friends.

Thanks to her, our friendship has grown and we’ve met other friends. She leaves no one alone after all is said and done. How amazing is that? She makes sure that Nice isn’t just a place to live. Nice is your home. She is always there to welcome you, introduce you to people, church, restaurants. She guides you to anything that you may need or want. The list is truly endless. What a blessing she is. We are grateful.

My wife Julie and I have been avid House Hunters International fans and when the time came to start seriously looking into purchasing property in France we knew exactly who to reach out to.

We filled out the contact form and Patty responded to our questions promptly and explained the entire process to us. Adrian and her team provide a full suite of services for those looking to relocate to France, from helping secure financing, finding and purchasing property, insurance, all the way to every legal step you need to take, it is literally a “one stop shop”. Once we aligned on moving forward we were setup with a 1:1 call with Adrian herself to go over what we were looking for and where we wanted to be. As a fan prior to reaching out, this call was almost surreal, talking with Adrian herself was like chatting with an old friend who you haven’t seen in a while, but everything just clicks back into place. It was both an entertaining conversation, but also full of immensely helpful guidance, at no point did we feel any sort of pressure to move forward or utilize her company at all. She is a huge proponent of ensuring you select the right location and are aware of the pros and cons of each, which is a level of care and concern I didn’t necessarily expect, but truly do appreciate.

After the call we decided to wait a bit and travel more of France before settling on a city we had in mind. A couple of months later we reached back out and confirmed our plans to move forward and utilize Adrian and her team as our guides. Once we officially signed paperwork we were assigned our own representative, Jennifer, to handle our property search.

Jennifer is an amazing person and again someone you just immediately click with and felt at home with. We worked together on finding properties in the city of our choice and aligned on a date for travel to start our search. All the while in the background we were being synced up with finance partners, legal representatives / notaire, and insurance contacts, all to ensure we had all of our bases covered for our purchase.

Upon traveling to our city in late September and spending several days with Jennifer viewing properties we fell in love with one and made an offer before we left. Jennifer handled all of the translations as neither of us speak fluent French yet, and explained everything during all of our viewings, including providing advice on things that didn’t look good, or things that stood out as benefits at each apartment.

Fast forward to after our offer was accepted, we were kept updated in the process with regular communication and closed in December of 2023. None of this would have been possible without Adrian and her team and we would whole heartedly recommend anyone looking to buy property or relocate to France make her your first point of contact. We have kept in touch with everyone we worked with and feel like part of the Adrian Leeds extended family. We look forward to working with them again soon as we navigate the relocation and visa processes!

I absolutely would and shall recommend Adrian Leeds Group to anyone contemplating a real estate purchase in France. (We were talking with friends who are wanting to buy a property in Italy, and we told them they should look in France instead so that they could engage Adrian!)

In brief, we wouldn’t have been able to acquire our house without their help. The process and property exceeded our expectations in that the villa is in the exact small village we wished to live, and with virtually all the features and requirements we wanted at a price well below that of other listings then on the market. Jennifer took what would otherwise be complicated, time-consuming, and daunting projects and broke everything into small, discrete steps.

On our own we would likely not have been successful in acquiring the property we bought. It would have already been under contract by the time we would have found it and made inquiries. The Adrian Leeds Group knows what they are talking about, and they back that up with successful experience.

Your blog today reminded me of how we came to know you. After our first visit together to Paris in 2006, we started to think of maybe getting a place in Paris to retire to in the far off future. On trying to find out about that on the internet, your name kept coming up, and we could not resist the opportunity to ask you questions for an hour for FREE! And when you asked us where we’d like to live in Paris, and our budget, you said straightaway, “No you can’t afford to live in the 5th.”.

We really appreciated your honesty and thought that you were certainly the person we wanted to deal with. We were not wrong to choose you! Our apartment was completed in 2008, and thanks to you, we have now lived happily in Paris full time for 7 years! We are grateful.

Trusting your successful process in finding a home in Paris resulted in getting settled quite quickly. My search consultant, Bernard, listened to what I was looking for and was able to research and find apartments to meet my list.  At times I had anxiety; however, Bernard understood and gave me words of confidence and encouragement. The search process worked. Your help in moving to France makes what could be overwhelming so smooth. I would absolutely recommend you. Your experience in helping make the move to France is priceless.

Adrian and her team are patient, show such kindness in any situation that arises, and there is very little they would not do to help. Even if I say thank-you a million times it would not be enough.  All personnel at Adrian Leeds Group whom we dealt with went way above and beyond their call of duty.

At no stage of our search for the property, which we would call home, did we have any trepidation or second thoughts. Everything was done by Zoom with her property personnel assigned to help us, because we could not be present physically. I didn’t think that buying a property could be done so easily.

Adrian calls it as she sees it and gives advice which benefits the person seeking a property. France was a dream we harbored for years and wondered how we could approach the process and from the the first telephone call with Adrian, we had made up our minds.

The Adrian Leeds Group saved us so much valuable time and money, because if we decided to do it on our own having no experience in  French real estate, we would have floundered and probably never able to realize our dream of owning a home in France and enjoying the French lifestyle.

Having gone through the process with Adrian and her team, my husband and I would have no qualms with doing it all over again. We learnt so much from the special property personnel on Adrian’s team and would recommend Adrian and her group to anyone in a heartbeat.

Without their support, I suspect I would have made several mistakes along the way. I felt throughout the process that I had someone in my corner, advocating for my interests–even for things I never would have thought of myself.

They helped negotiate the price, as well as inclusion of some of the furniture. I’m sure their efforts saved me more money than the fee I paid–which was one of the best investments I have ever made.

I now have my dream home, and I know I would never have found it on my own. The experience in working with them far exceeded my expectations. Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect. She held my hand every step of the way and helped me in every aspect (even some unrelated to the house purchase, eg. where to find a Christmas tree!).

I would absolutely recommend the Adrian Leeds Group if you are making a move to France! I cannot imagine going through this process without them! They are worth their weight in gold.

Everything that was promised, was delivered. Both Adrian and our agent Jennifer did more than expected. Every facet and concern were anticipated and we felt safe and informed while navigating a complex and anxiety-producing process.

We absolutely trust that the Adrian Leeds Group worked in our best interest at all times. They steered us away from temptations and constantly reminded us to focus on what is most important to us in the long run.

We could never have navigated our purchase without them. I can’t even imagine the wrong turns we would have taken. We speak some French, but so many of the details are beyond our skills.

I absolutely, without question, would recommend the Adrian Leeds group. I can’t say enough.

We love the apartment, and couldn’t be more grateful to the Adrian Leeds Group for finding the apartment for us. We are also very grateful for your help working with the real estate company, and for your help during the “états de lieu” process. Our entire experience with the ALG was exceptionally positive, from beginning to end, and I am happy to share my observations on your website readers.

I am so happy I chose Adrian Leeds Group to help me find my apartment. Adrian’s team was incredibly thorough, professional, prompt, and organized. Adrian and her team helped me find the perfect apartment despite the little time I had and showed up on move-in day to help facilitate the final paperwork and walk-through. The apartment rental process in Paris can be incredibly daunting and difficult, but Adrian’s team made it feel so much more manageable and easy than I imagined. I recommend the Adrian Leeds Group 1000%!

I definitely recommend the Adrian Leeds Group team who provides professional, accurate, and timely information. Not only does the ALG team deliver, but they offer service above and beyond the initial inquiries. Advice and direction by Adrian and her team always yielded full success and direction for bookings, legal, financial, and more. I have total trust in Adrian and her team. They work together in concert to deliver results that maximize your interest. They made buying in France a simple process and delivered it with a smile!

Adrian Leeds and her team made the process of buying our first apartment in France, an extremely pleasant experience. I have first-hand knowledge of family and friends that have shared the difficulties of buying in France, obtaining French bank accounts, mortgages, etc. I have also read numerous books on how difficult the experience can be. I am so happy to say that because of Adrian and her team, I did not have to have many of those difficult experiences. Her team has a knowledgeable group of professionals that guided my husband and me through each stage of the process—from locating the apartment of our dreams in Nice, to an introduction to an amazing mortgage broker, to obtaining a French bank account, to turning on the utilities, to interior designers, to her internal team including who held our hand through each stage—there was not one detail left out in their process. Because of their knowledge and professionalism, I had the utmost confidence that I could buy sight unseen during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was delighted with the apartment we purchased. This will be one of many with them, I’m sure!

We can’t thank you enough for all your efforts in making our dream a reality! The personalized service you extended to us made the daunting process smooth and painless. From the translation sessions and advice to the handholding and encouragement, you were truly a blessing! I really don’t know how we ever would have done this without you.

It was simply wonderful having someone with such acumen and insider knowledge on our side. And we weren’t the only the ones impressed; while they would never admit it, I think all parties involved were duly impressed with Adrian’s negotiating ability and knowledge of the tricks of the trade, including the owner.

Adrian and the whole team at Adrian Leeds Group were the most incredibly pleasant and professional people to work with throughout the entire process. They are very up-to-date on property values in Paris and were quick to point out that the arrondissement where we were buying had one of the highest rates of return based on a recent quarterly report.

Adrian’s professionalism and honesty served us well. We actually found the whole process even easier than in the U.S. The apartment renovation, too, was less stressful than some projects we have undertaken back home. We’re sure this is no coincidence, and that we have Adrian and her team to thank.

We were very pleased with the level of service and competence. Adrian’s enthusiasm and knowledge were just what we needed. We looked to the Adrian Leeds Group for expert advice, and we got it!

Thank you to Adrian and her team. We don’t see how we could have done this without their encouragement and assistance.

Adrian was an absolute dream to work with. Without her and her priceless connections, I can’t imagine how anyone could navigate purchasing property in France. There is no way my husband and I could have figured this out without her.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for her and for her amazing team. She made our dream of living in Paris a reality and we are honored to now call her our friend and neighbor!

Thanks to Adrian and her team for all of the help, advice, contacts—and for the time and patience you took with us. I know that we would not have realized this as easily without the Adrian Leeds Group.

We love our Paris home. Thank you, Adrian, for making my dream a reality. And most importantly, for your friendship.

Adrian showed us that owning an apartment in Paris was actually possible. After our first consultation, her optimism and can-do approach—but even more importantly, the facts and information she gave us—made us feel that it wasn’t pie-in-the-sky, but something we really might be able to do.

Adrian’s detailed explanation of the procedures of purchasing French property, and the requirements essential to obtaining a mortgage and bank account were comprehensive and meticulous. The more contact we had with Adrian and her team, the more relaxed and comfortable we became with our decision to place ourselves in their hands. It was the best decision we could’ve made.

Adrian helped us open a French bank account and selected an English speaking notaire with whom we worked. She also advised us on the financial institution that would give us the best rate of exchange. This alone saved us thousands of dollars.

Our consultation with Adrian was very informative; she explained the whole process, step by step. At that moment we knew that the Adrian Leeds Group was the way to go because we don’t live in France, and they do absolutely everything for you in the most professional way.

The Adrian Leeds Group helped me fulfill the dream of a lifetime. I couldn’t possibly have found my apartment or gotten through the purchase process on my own. Purchasing property in France is nothing like purchasing it in the U.S. Without an experienced, knowledgeable guide like the Adrian Leeds Group, it would be next to impossible.

Adrian’s team set up the electricity and wireless for phone, Internet, and TV. This is something easily done in the U.S., but in France, it is very difficult—even if one speaks fluent French.

The experience of buying an apartment with the Adrian Leeds Group was a pleasure from start to finish. Adrian and her team were very responsive, even on the weekends, and were knowledgeable about all aspects of the buying and renovating process.

Renovation and decoration with Martine di Mattéo was a pleasure. She executed our vision even more beautifully than we had hoped. We are thrilled with the result! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Martine again.

The Adrian Leeds Group are not only consummate professionals, but they really do make dreams come true. We were ably assisted by Adrian and her team at every juncture.

Although the process is a complex one, the Adrian Leeds Group guided me through every step — and supported me the whole way.

Adrian has a wonderful network of professionals to help you with every step of the red tape, making the legendary French bureaucracy much easier.

Adrian knows the ins and outs of the French real estate process and has a great network to rely on. She and her team are truly hands-on and follow up on every detail throughout the process of buying and selling.

Adrian honestly wants to find the apartment that’s right for you. She is extremely experienced, kind, honest, and direct. We highly recommend her.

From the start, The Adrian Leeds Group skillfully guided us along that complex learning curve: what property in Paris really costs, which areas were most likely to suit our needs, how to obtain a loan, how to navigate the murky bureaucratic waters. Adrian did this with complete honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability, which made us always feel that we were in good hands.

Adrian and her colleagues made the whole process painless and achievable for me. My advice to you: using Adrian’s services will make the whole process of purchasing your home in Paris much easier than if you were to attempt it on your own. The savings of finding the property so quickly, and help in the negotiations process, more than paid for the cost of the services.

I think it’s unlikely I would have found my apartment before others got to it. And even if I had, it’s questionable whether the sellers would have gone for my offer if not for Adrian’s relationship with the agent.

In addition to the search process, I found it very helpful to have someone help with the whole process. The Adrian Leeds Group has a good balance of listening to the client but also being vocal enough so you won’t make a mistake!

We are thrilled! Adrian did a superb job finding the right place for us. It’s amazing that the very first one could be so perfect. We thank Adrian and her for a job well done!

We found our advocate! Adrian didn’t try to sell herself or her services to us. Her team asked questions and listened to our desires and needs. The Adrian Leeds Group is a real source of comfort and encouragement through the process. We could not have enjoyed our Paris dream without Adrian and her team!

Adrian was quite helpful in suggesting a mortgage company, and one of her associates also accompanied us to the notaire for the official signing. After the apartment became ours, we needed someone in Paris to take charge of the decorating. Once again, Adrian came to the rescue, suggesting Martine di Mattéo. The Adrian Leeds Group helped us with every step we’ve taken on our new adventure. We did not know what to expect, but the whole experience was absolutely enjoyable.

Stress doesn’t begin to describe my physical and emotional state when I decided to sell my house in the States and follow my childhood dream to live in Paris. So, when a friend suggested I contact Adrian Leeds (she’s a fan of House Hunters International), I did just that. Within two weeks, I had the apartment of my dreams!
