“Make Adrian your first point of contact.”
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!
