Dealing with Immobiliers

Treat your search as a holiday, avoid stressful timewasting at the hands of agents who don't understand what you want, who try to force you into signing for a property which isn't quite the dream home you expected.

Most who come to France house hunting are surprised and sometimes shocked by the way in which the agents - or immobiliers - conduct their business... no visits without appointment, no unaccompanied visiting, no addresses of properties for sale handed out as in England to enable a casual drive-by before viewing to avoid wasting time...

No, nothing of the kind. The agent in France sees himself as a professional, and expects to be treated as such, politely and with patience while he attends his other clients and takes his two hour lunch. Few of them understand the British penchant for urgency and getting things done - NOW.
