TESTIMONIAL 01/07/2010
Dear Rob and the Beaux Villages team, One year ago, my husband and I travelled from South Africa to SW France in the vague but hopeful wish to buy something for or retirement. After seeing a number of places and areas, we met with Johanna and were shown a number of properties in the area which interested us. Having done the research on the internet and having given our parameters, Johanna completely read us right and the second house she showed us was what we wanted. Being a true professional, she showed us others to be sure we were making the right choice. The entire process was handled with the utmost professionalism and kindness, most especially considering that most of it had to be conducted long distance to a country try not easily reachable with telecommunications. We could not recommend a Company more highly that Beaux Villages for anyone we know who would look to buy in the region. Thank you, not only for the sale but the follow up and continuing care you give us. James and Wendy de la Fargue

I have put a wee card in the post to them but wanted to write a quick email to you personally. We will let you know when the house-warming is. Kind regards Fi & Pete Campbell

Dear Beaux Villages I would like to thank your sales team for their combined efforts to sell our property in a very turbulent market. I would especially like to thank Johanna for her professionalism, enthusiasm and cheerfulness because without this the prospect of house selling at the present time would be a dismal affair. Regards Harold Giles

We saw a house on the internet through your agency last November and arranged a viewing with David. As well as listening to what we wanted, he was honest about the condition of the properties he was offering to show us. Some we discounted and this saved everyone a lot of wasted time, which is something we haven't found with any of the many other agents we have viewed properties with. It made a nice change to actually be listened to, not pressured and to be shown properties appropriate to what we wanted. The sale went through easily and with little stress and David was available anytime we called (even when on holiday in China!). Jane, your Administrator was wonderful, coming with us to the Notaire for the signings and dealing with all our questions. We greatly appreciated Jane arranging our electricity transfer and other procedures but even after the completion of the sale when my husband broke his leg and we were in a car accident, Jane helped us with translations and calling people regarding various things totally unrelated to our purchase. Thats not the sort of service you would normally expect and it took a large load of our minds. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beaux Villages to other house hunters. Kind regards Susan & Chris Lovesy

Dear Beaux Villages, Whilst we have not yet found a buyer we would like to go on record as confirming that your firm, and particularly Johanna, have proved the most helpful, cheerful, energetic, and efficient of all the agents we have come across. From Johanna we have had more viewings than from other agents, and what`s more important we get feedback. Thanks. Regards, David Walters.

Dear David, Just to say many thanks to you and your team for the stirling work they have put in on our behalf. In the nine months that our property was on the market we never had any interest. It was a friend that recommended you to us and since then we never looked back. I am pleased to say that the currency transaction through Smart Currency Dealers went extremely well and we now have had the money from the property sale transfered to our account. Many thanks Jacky and Tony Webb

Very many thanks for doing this for us. It will be a great help to have all the services set up and working soon after we arrive. While mentioning services may I repeat that the help and support we have had from Beaux Villages has been little short of extraordinary in marked contrast to that we have received from nearly all the other local agents (even the "english" ones). It has made an enormous difference tyo the potentially stressful experience of buying a house in an unfamilair market and a complex and sometimes confusing legal and administrative regime. with kind regards form us both Mike & Shirley Blackmore

"Beaux Villages Immobilier have set an extremely high standard and I only wish that others would share the same service standards. They handled the marketing of our cottage in the Gironde with tremendous enthusiasm and vigour, achieved a fair deal for us in difficult market conditions and most importantly made the whole process from agreement to completion painless and pleasant. I have nothing but praise for the service that I received from the good offices of BVI and would not hesitate to recommend them to others! Mark Gubbins September 2008"
