Sue Elliott dreamed of moving to France when she was a teenager and was inspired by reading Lettres de Mon Moulin by Alphonse Daudet. The dream came to fruition in 1994 when she and her husband, David, purchased a cottage in a 2 hectare hillside garden in the Dordogne. With her experience in Estate Agency and her knowledge of the language, the people, and the area she hopes to make YOUR DREAM COME TRUE too ! Sue works in close co-operation not only with her colleagues in the other IMMORAMA AQUITAINE offices (Beverley, Jean-Pierre et marie-Claude, and Rosalind) but also with other similarly-minded agencies in the area. This gives you, the client, a WIDE RANGE OF PROPERTIES to choose from and a more COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE. If you have a SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT, Sue will email or phone her colleagues to see if they have anything that fits your criteria. A PERSONAL SEARCH AND FIND SERVICE. |

The agency not only hopes to find you the right property but to also "hold you hand" through every stage, with EXPLANATIONS and TRANSLATIONS of documents, with meetingswith English-speaking Notaires (the lawyer who does the conveyancing) so you UNDERSTAND THE PURCHASE PROCEDURE, INHERITANCE implications etc, with opening a BANK ACCOUNT , and obtaining a MORTGAGE if this is required. Sue and her team will also be able to help with getting settled in your new home, eg how to get the phone connected, finding local builders/electricians etc, organising a swimming pool installer and getting this underway, and explaining some of the mysteries of life in France so that the experience is STRESS FREE and you can actually ENJOY the fact that you are BUYING A DREAM ! |

Sue can also put you in touch with like-minded people in the area (summer barbeques or dinner in a local Restaurant are good ways of making new friends) so thatyou do not feel isolated during the important first few months. Don't worry about your children moving here - they will fit in and make friends and learn the language muck quicker than you will in general ! For those purchasing a SECOND HOME, advice on maintenance, LETTING , security etc is readily available, and for those purchasinga BUSINESS there is help in getting this set up - Sue's previous experience as a Hotelier and Landscape gardener comes in very useful indeed. She will advise you BEFORE YOU BUY to, hopefully, avoid costly mistakes. A BIENTOT ! SEE YOU SOON ! |
