We cannot miss this opportunity to blow our own trumpet. We know how good our Private Sales service is - but when we get a glowing review we cannot resist the chance to publicise it.

Thanks Dazzo - here is his review from the British Expat Discussion Forum
“Hiya, we have just borrowed money of the folks to buy our place near Riberac on the understanding we pay them back asap as soon as we sold our old house nr thiviers… we are due to complete in a week. I put it up with 2 agents who between them got 4 viewings in 4 months.

I put my own ad on 1st for french properties at the end of Jan and by beginning of March (cost about £80) I had 4 offers on the table and got the full asking price… I must have got on average 10 enquiries a week and am still getting them now(I haven’t took it off as in my eyes the house isn’t sold till Ive got the cash!!) I must have arranged over 20 viewings however after the 5th viewing I had 2 offers, then got 2 offers from people who couldn’t get out to view in time but desperately wanted the house!!!

Considering the agents only got 4 viewings in 4 months, my house was obviously nothing out of the ordinary, but yet the amount of people looking through thousands of ad’s on 1st for French property must be very high for me to get as many enquiries as I did. I totally recommend trying it yourself as it will also be advertised cheaper as there are no agents fees involved and I can totally recommend my Notaire in Saint Aulaye for all the advice you need on private sales, it has been (dare I say) ‘a doddle!!’.
