You can book a consultation with Fabricio here.

During this consultation we will give you clear insights about the real estate market here, the process of buying a house and, of course, we will explain who we are, what we do and how we can help you!

We will also clearly define your project, better understand your expectations and establish a detailed summary of the specifics, including budget of course.
You can check the details of what is included in our consultation here.

Once the project is clearly defined, we officialize the beginning of our collaboration with an exclusive property search contract, valid for a minimum of 3 months.

We will make a first selection of properties by activating our networks (agencies, notaries, contractors, privates, etc.) and we will upload our findings in your private client account. 

You will then shortlist one or more properties from those we suggest, and we proceed to the pre-visits of the selected listings and sends you complete reports with our own pictures and videos. We can also do direct online video visits.

As the seller does not appoint us, we are totally objective. Our purpose is to choose, among the properties for sale on the French Riviera, only the ones perfectly corresponding to your criteria.

If you plan to visit in person, we can arrange, not just all the viewings, but also the hotel bookings, transfers and any other services to make your inspection trip more enjoyable.

Once you have made your choice and decided to purchase one of the proposed properties, the first thing to be done is to evaluate if the chosen property really meets your expectations from every point of view.

We will then run our own estimation of the priory to check if the price is correct.

From there onwards, if necessary, we will negotiate with the seller to ensure we obtain the best possible price.

From the offer to the pre-contract, it takes about two to three weeks and once you have signed the contract you still have a 10 days cooling-off period to walk away the acquisition process if necessary. 

This leaves us enough time to check all administrative and legal aspects related to the house and condominium, if applies, and also have the house inspected by a contractor, if relevant.

We continue to give assistance throughout the purchasing process, until final signature, maintaining regular communication between you, the vendor and other interested parties (surveyors, solicitors), and translating documents if necessary.

We will also help you obtaining an insurance company for your house, opening a bank account, transferring utilities contracts and using a removal company if necessary.

According to the law governing the real estate profession, FRH only collects its fees when the deal is finalized once our assignment is fulfilled.

If the purchase of your property on the French Riviera is linked to the sale of your current property, FRH can also assist you in the sale of your property, directly or through one of our partners, depending on the location of the property you sell.

RENT BEFORE BUYING

If you are planning to move to France and need a temporary rental before buying, let FRH be your guide for the global project.

Moving to a different country is thrilling and probably stressful at the same time. Before you embark on the more definitive path of buying a property, you probably want to take some time to discover the region, the different neighborhoods of a city, the places you like best. It’s a perfectly normal thing to do and we can also help you to secure your rental in the French Riviera.

Renting in France is very difficult, specially for expats, and it might discourage you from moving ahead with your future acquisition project. This is why we have created a special consultancy explaining the whole rental process, what you need to prepare, how to navigate the rental maze and how to avoid pitfalls and scams. We will also provide you with lists of documents needed, lists of utility providers, etc.

If you wish to have more details or book a one hour “How to rent in the French Riviera” consultancy with one of our team members, all experts in this matter, simply visit our Consultancy page.

Of course, this consultation is also available to people who only wish to rent only.
