EXCELLENT Based on 42 reviews Posted on Google Glen CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Review of Jessica Alton – French Riviera House Hunters Moving from Australia to Nice with no French and having visited only once before we made the leap was, to say the least, daunting. Finding the right property in an unfamiliar market felt overwhelming until we connected with Jessica Alton at French Riviera House Hunters. From the outset, Jess's warm and engaging nature put us immediately at ease. She took genuine time to understand us as people, our lifestyle, our priorities, and the kind of home that would truly suit us, rather than simply presenting listings. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she responded promptly to every query we had, no matter how big or small. What we particularly valued was her refreshing honesty. Jess gave us her candid, upfront opinion throughout the process, which gave us real confidence that she was acting in our best interests rather than simply telling us what we wanted to hear. Her deep knowledge of the Nice property market was invaluable, and her calm guidance and reassurance made what could have been a stressful experience feel entirely manageable. As a busy working couple, having someone take the weight of the process off our shoulders was everything. Jess's sharp understanding of our needs meant her shortlisting was so well-targeted that we didn't have to wade through countless viewings, and we ended up with the most extraordinary property. She was a strong and effective advocate on our behalf at every step, consistently going the extra mile, including helping us navigate contacts for utilities and insurance well beyond the transaction itself. We cannot recommend Jess and the entire French Riviera House Hunters team highly enough. If you are relocating to the Côte d'Azur and want someone knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely invested in finding you the right home, look no further.

Jessica encouraged me to be open, advised me about the market realities of house hunting in the South of France, and guided me through all the necessary steps. She answered numerus questions, heard my feedback and adapted strategies to suit my tastes and priorities. Matthew helped me with a hosts of administrative tasks to get me comfortably situated. They truly wanted me to be happy and got me off to a great start! FRH is interested in building community. This was an excellent experience.Posted on Google Juan StreeterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been our pleasure and benefit to have had the opportunity to partner with FRH who has successfully helped my wife and I transition smoothly from the US to Nice, France. There resourcefulness, attention to detail, approach to customer service, communication and inclusion of our opinions and ideas throughout the process was outstanding. They supported our efforts to research and obtain a long term furnished apartment in a desirable Nice neighborhood, referred us to a excellent tax advisor, a reliable document translation company and helped us secure a France bank account and financial partnership for all our financial needs in France. The success our transition to Nice, France is in large part due to the positive and relentless efforts of our assigned agent, Jessica Alton. Jessica's upbeat attitude and willingness to do everything she could to meet our needs was excellent. Her communication and effort to keep us involved in the process was important and appreciated. We would recommend FRH and Jessica Alton to anyone seeking success with relocation needs to France.

My agent was Frankie with FRH she was awesome and tried her best with my budget in Nice. My apartment had issues and the managing group were lacking With Frankiés help i had my apartment to enjoy my walks to the promenade. Thank you FrankiePosted on Google Kathi MatthewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful experience locating a long term rental with assistance from Jessica Allton with FRH. Jessica was professional, proactive and a great communicator from the start- she was diligent in getting in touch on properties that were available and found me a great fit within a short period. Very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend!Posted on Google Mitch GibbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. February 2026 Review update (still five stars!). After our walking tour with FRH in May, unfortunately Rafaa left the agency but we were smoothly transitioned to the, also expert, Jessica Allton, and we signed an agreement with them for apartment hunting services. We arrived in Nice and, by mutual agreement, started our search in early January. Jessica is terrific! She is knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. She helped us refine our criteria, rightsize our expectations, and made it clear that helping us find the right home was her only priority. We worked very collaboratively - sending each other apartments that looked interesting - and she and the FRH team did the work of verifying details, getting appointments, and following up. She made sure that we presented ourselves through our dossier to maximize outcomes and she, or a colleague, accompanied us on every visit with educated eyes and to be our French voice. In the end, we found a great apartment that met or exceeded most of our wants. Jessica and the FRH team helped make sure that transition went smoothly, utilities setup, etc. Worth every penny. We would highly recommend both FRH and Jessica. June 2025: 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.Posted on Google cassie boukliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming from the U.S., buying property in France felt complicated and unfamiliar. I had no idea where to start, but Fabricio quickly put me at ease. He took the time to explain how things work in France and made sure I understood every step along the way. What stood out to me was how hands-on and responsive he was. No pressure, no sales talk just honest advice and real support. He helped with everything from property visits to dealing with local professionals and paperwork, which made the whole process much smoother than I expected. It truly felt like having someone on my side who knew the market and cared about getting things done properly. Thanks to FRH, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a positive one. If you’re an international buyer looking to purchase on the French Riviera, this is the kind of service you want.Posted on Google 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 Google 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 Google 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.
