EXCELLENT Based on 36 reviews Posted on Cindy SwansonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We knew we wanted a househunting agency to help us find a rental apartment for our move to Nice. After a lot of research, we decided to go with FRH, and it was the best decision we could have made! Jessica was essential in making us feel comfortable about finding a place before we even left the US. After we arrived, she met with us to clarify what we wanted, and then she delivered! We only looked at 2 apartments before finding what we wanted with the 3rd. It has exactly what we wanted, plus a few more benefits. Jessica made everything so easy for us and was always there to answer any questions. She surpassed our expectations in aiding us with our move. She also set us up with a bank representative to get our local bank account set up, and helped us with the utility set-up. She is a great asset to FRH and she's a great person as well. Everyone that we worked with at FRH was so helpful and it's given us a great start to our new life in France!Posted on DanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with French Riviera House Hunting during our search for a rental apartment in Nice. From the very beginning, Jessica was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She understood exactly what we were looking for and guided us through the entire process with great professionalism and care. Thanks to Jessica’s efficiency and local expertise, we found the right apartment very quickly. We arrived in Nice on a Monday, and by Saturday we were already approved by the landlord for the apartment we really liked! We couldn’t be happier with Jessica’s performance and highly recommend French Riviera House Hunting to anyone looking for a home in Nice.Posted on Kathryn CoonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jessica went above and beyond to find me a beautiful rental apartment in the Mont Boron area of Nice this September. She is attentive, detail-oriented and has exceptional follow up. Highly recommend FRH.Posted on Douglas WebsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As first-time home buyers in France, we quickly realized that the services of a professional property-hunting firm were essential. From our initial contact with Fabricio, where we defined what our needs/wants were and got an overview of the real estate market in Nice, we were impressed by FRH's extraordinary efforts to find us the perfect property that we would be happy with long-term. Silvia was simply amazing. Her deep knowledge of the local market led us to a beautiful property in a historic building in a lovely neighborhood in Nice. It met all of our needs and even came in below budget. If you are looking for assistance with buying a property in Nice from a company that truly strives for your satisfaction, and operates in an honest and professional manner, we can recommend FRH without reservation.Posted on Alina YarovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FRH is an absolute must for English speaking buyers, especially first-time buyers in France. Fabricio, the owner, has a great service that supports you start to finish. We worked with Diana, who was wonderful and absolutely essential to our process. We would have been lost without them!Posted on Jack HodgesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As new arrivals from the US living in Lyon but considering a move to Nice, we met with Fabricio last April after watching some of his excellent YouTube videos. We found him to be a good, honest guy and decided to enlist the help of FRH in finding an apartment for us to buy in Nice. Silvia became our representative and she has been a godsend for us from start to finish. The apartment she found for us had two full price offers and she was able to convince the seller's realtor to accept ours. She worked with our Notaire throughout the process and joined us for the pre-contract signing and the closing meetings. Outside of the purchase, she has assisted us in many other ways. For example, when we shipped our boxes from Lyon, she met the movers as they arrived in Nice and guided them to our storage unit. And even still, during renovations we are doing, she has been invaluable. She has joined us in visits to material suppliers where we needed translation help and even drove us to Ventimiglia, Italy to help us save on bathroom materials. Our renovation is nearing completion she has been essential in keeping our contractor on track. We fully recommend Fabricio's FRH and will always be grateful to Silvia for making our new home in Nice possible.Posted on Yvonne DotyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found FRH on a webinar that Fabricio gave on the homes in Nice. We decided to engage FRH over their main competitor because Fabricio is local to Nice and is very knowledgeable on various neighborhoods of the city. We worked with Silvia on identifying the target neighborhood.. finding the apartment, and going through the negotiation, contracting and closing process. Silvia demonstrated that she she really cares about her clients, and advised and advocated for us every step of the way. We feel that unlike some other realtors, who only cares about making a sale, FRH strives to understand their clients, help the clients to make a decision best for them, and support the clients all the way through. I would highly recommend working with FRH on your property rental and purchasing in Nice.Posted on Janet WhiteheadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Relocating to France and securing a long-term rental can feel overwhelming—especially without the guidance of someone knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was incredibly fortunate to have the support of Diana Gango and Caleb Castro Cabrera at FRH, who went above and beyond in every step of the process. Not only did they help me find a wonderful apartment in Nice, but they also guided me through every detail—from building a strong dossier and applying for a Garantme, to setting up a bank account, phone service, internet, and utilities. They even assisted with the apartment walkthrough and lease translation. Throughout it all, Diana and Caleb communicated consistently, demonstrated deep expertise, and offered sincere warmth and care. Their dedication made my transition to life in France smooth and welcoming. I’m truly grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone navigating a move to the Riviera. Thank you both for helping me land softly in Nice!Posted on K CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started the process of moving to Nice over a year ago. I found FRH through Fabricio’s YouTube videos “How about living in”, which I found really helpful in understanding the region and neighborhoods. I interviewed three different consultants. I chose FRH because they always took time for me, responded in a timely manner, and listened to understand my wants and needs. They helped me set realistic expectations, and then they exceeded what I thought we could do. I worked with Rafaa to find a long term rental. After our initial consultation, he helped me obtain the financial guarantee that I needed as I had trouble understanding what GarantMe required to approve my request. When I was a week away from arrival, he sent me a few listings including videos of an apartment he personally visited. After my arrival, Rafaa gave me a tour of the neighborhood, which he knows very well - shops, bakeries, restaurants, parks, transportation. We visited my top choice after I narrowed down the list, and it was perfect for me. The market is competitive, and Rafaa helped me make a connection with the leasing agent, and I think that improved my chances greatly. We had an answer in a few days, and it was great news. My French language skills are limited, and Rafaa was very supportive - helping me navigate the business customs here and the language barrier. We completed the inspection, finished the contracts, and he also helped me get utilities set up. Rafaa is very reliable - he didn’t forget any detail, followed up regularly, and responded faster than I expected. He provided other information that was helpful, such as connecting me to local groups and events. Moving to another country is challenging, especially with my limited language skills. I appreciate having a partnership with Rafaa and FRH so I can focus on other aspects of my move and rely on them to navigate the housing part of this big adventure. Thank you, Rafaa, Marie and the FRH team!Posted on Mitch GibbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent a half-day on a walking tour with Rafaa from FRH to explore neighborhoods for a possible move to Nice. It was tremendously helpful. Rafaa built the itinerary around our needs and interests, included areas that hadn't been on our radar, and was very generous with sharing his experience and expertise. The experience helped us confirm Nice as our destination, eliminate the area we had been targeting, and narrow down to a couple of areas we hadn't been considering. We plan to work with Rafaa and FRH as we continue to the next steps of our adventure. Highly recommended.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
