90 Minutes to Your New Life in France

Imagine: You’re about to spend several hundred thousand euros on a property that you might own the rest of your life. Or plunk down five months’ rental fees for your “test year” in France. You’d want to be fully informed and prepared so you can make the best decisions possible, right?

An investment of this importance comes with a long list of questions:

* Is moving to France truly right for me?
* Should I buy or rent?
* Where do I live: Paris, Nice, Provence—or somewhere I haven’t considered yet?
* What kind of budget will I need?
* How will residency, healthcare, taxes, banking, and everyday life affect my plans?

The most important decisions often happen long before you begin looking at properties.

But how do you know where to begin? Sure, the internet is full of information, everyone has an opinion, but what’s right for you and your plans? How do you move forward with confidence?

CREATING YOUR PERSONALIZED ROADMAP

You’ve heard me or my staff say, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” It’s true. This is why I recommend a 90-minute Strategy Session with us—even before you hire us to do anything else. It helps guide you through all those important decisions.

Our comprehensive Strategy Session isn’t simply about finding a property. Au contraire. It’s designed to help you create a realistic, personalized roadmap for making the move to France—from the earliest “Could I really do this?” stage through to finding a home and settling into your new life.

OUR STRATEGY SESSION IS ALL ABOUT YOU

We begin by listening: your goals, desired lifestyle, finances, timetable, concerns, and vision for the future.

Then, we help you identify the choices that make the most sense for you, explain how French systems work, and put the steps in the right order.

You’ll be able to get advice on the things that matter most:

* Obtaining the right to be in France (visas, residency)
* Making the move and understanding relocation logistics
* Setting up finances, banking, and French taxes
* Finding long-term rental housing
* Getting a mortgage and purchasing property
* Healthcare, insurance, and utilities
* Finding employment or starting a business
* Bridging cultural differences

And that’s just for starters. This is why we give you a full 1.5 hours.

TAPPING INTO OUR 25 YEARS OF TRUSTED EXPERIENCE

We know there are new resources out there, and new agencies getting into the property search business. But beware of “free” or cheap consultations. Very little can be accomplished in 15 or 30 minutes except for a sales pitch, or a formulaic “guide.”

We spend time with you, tailoring our breadth of knowledge and experience specifically to your plans and needs. And our trusted experience means that we know the questions you may not yet know to ask—and the problems that are far easier to prevent than to solve later.

You’re always going to get the truth from us, even if you might not like hearing it. We “tell it like it is.”

We won’t sell you a fantasy or push you toward a particular town or property. We’ll give you honest, experienced advice about what is possible, what it will take, and how to approach it intelligently—as well as provide all the essential resources to guide you.

Working with us, you can rest assured that you’ll make the right decisions. We’ve helped thousands of North Americans strategize the best way to make the move, so that they stay in France happily ever after.

WE’LL HELP YOU FIGURE IT ALL OUT

Perhaps you’re ready to take the leap. Perhaps France is still a dream for “someday.” Either way, you don’t need to have everything figured out before speaking with us. In fact, that is precisely what your Strategy Session is for: clarity designed to help you make the move.

AND HERE’S THE BEST NEWS OF ALL…

It will cost you NOTHING or VERY LITTLE if you trust us to make your dreams to live or invest in France come true.

We will apply the full amount of the initial Strategy Session toward your property purchase search (!!) or a portion of it toward your search for a long-term rental property.

So, nothing will be lost. That means, in essence, this valuable service can be completely free of charge!

IT’S NEVER TOO SOON TO HAVE A CONVERSATION

Schedule your Strategy Session with us, and let’s turn the idea of living in France into a clear and achievable path forward.

If you like what you hear and you’re ready to continue working with us, it will have been the best TIME, NOT MONEY, you’ve ever spent in your life.

Let’s get you started!

A la prochaine…
