With great pleasure, we were very well guided by Roland and Joyce Boelhouwer during our successful search for a home. Both of them listened carefully to our wishes, even when they weren’t always clearly expressed. We also want to mention Catherine Vanackere, who assisted us with the paperwork. Beaux Villages is very accessible, and Roland and Joyce were incredibly reachable—even in the evenings and on weekends. Once again, many thanks to all of you. We are already enjoying living in the Haute Vienne.

The team helped us throughout

Buyers

By Siebren and Erica Wedman, 18 April 2025

We bought our dream house in the Charente with the help of Beaux Villages. Although the sellers hired them, we always felt that BV did their utmost to guide us through the process. We are moving from the Netherlands to France and had to get used to how things work in France. BV gave us peace of mind; they answered all our questions in a friendly and timely manner. Making appointments to visit the house was easy and could be arranged at short notice. We even got help with matters that were not directly related to the house (getting energy, water and phone connections for instance). We were very impressed about the friendliness and accuracy of their support. A big thank you to Helen Stothard, who was our main contact and who worked relentlessly for us. She's a friend for life! Also to Matthew Barry, who was a big help on the background and even assisted us during the signing of the contract at the notary. When we started our search for a house, we expected it to be a much more difficult process, but thanks to them it was a pleasurable experience and we highly recommend them!

Rob went far beyond the call of duty

Sellers

By Marita and Raiford Johnson, 04 April 2025

We chose to see Rob Kearley from Beaux Villages first, upon a recommendation from a friend in Gouby who also has a house listed with Beaux Villages. And Rob could speak English. Our first meeting with Rob, was enlightening, insightful and encouraging! He handled our rather ambitious price expectations with great care and respect, all the while making sure that we understood the housing market in all its intricacies! By the time Rob left, both my husband and I - without any resentment - knew we would have to drop our price if we were serious about selling in the coming months! We also felt completely comfortable in giving Beaux Villages a sole mandate! Over the last 8 months, Rob has been constantly ‘at our side’ - advising and assisting us - going far beyond the call of duty - and even AFTER the final signing, Rob continued helping us through the last of the frustrating details of selling a house in a different country from where one is! Rob was always available and reachable. In the event of not being able to take a call from us, he would follow up promptly as soon as possible! Rob’s conduct has at all times been totally professional , yet utterly approachable! From the bottom of our hearts - thank you Rob, and thank you Beaux Villages! We could not have done this without you!

Helen Stothard is an asset to your company

Helen guided me through a property purchase and was exceptional. She's an asset to your company. I would use again on the basis of my experience. Great lady.

Daniel Taylor and your team have been so helpful

Buyers

By Ian and Julie Hector, 24 March 2025

I had to sit and write about my wife's and my experience in purchasing a property, through your branch at Montaigu-de Quercy. To start with we are English and had this dream of buying in France with no idea how to start, to finish and all the work in between. We studied online, deciding what type of house we would like. We finally set on a certain area and had an idea of the property. On a particular day we had a number of viewings set up and covered a few miles. Your branch was the last viewing of a disappointing day. We made our way to the property, with both Daniel and Katherine feeling confident they had ticked a lot of boxes. We fell in love with the property and both agents were totally aware we wanted the property. Having Daniel with us helped so much being able to translate into English. We put an offer in and the next day we were starting the journey. Now that journey is tricky enough at any time and being very poor with French, we were so lucky that we had Daniel and the team guiding us through the tricky journey of French paperwork. There was nothing Daniel wouldn't do to help us. And along with back-up from the other team at the branch we coped with every aspect of buying in France. He was able to advise and guide us through the tasks of buying in France.  Any visit to the branch from then on was a pleasure and we were and still are, warmly welcomed. We have successfully made the purchase, and this was only possible to do so smoothly because of the help of your fantastic team in Montaigu-de-Quercy. And knowing that the team is always about if we need any little help on our journey, is so reassuring. We cannot praise them enough and the next person who walks into their office has definitely made the right choice. 

Jacqui helped us through the buying process

Buyers

By Elizabeth Newhall, 11 March 2025

Special thanks to Jacqui Reddin-Williams, our estate agent and the Beaux Villages team for their help with the recent purchase transaction of our “dream home” in France. As Americans moving to France, the process of purchasing a home was very different than the process in the US. Primarily, the traditional and now more recent roles of a “buyer’s agent” and a “seller’s agent” in the US do not apply in France. Consequently, we were confused about the roles of agents and how to communicate during the offer period and subsequent development of the Compromis and the ultimate Acte de Vente. When we were introduced to Jacqui we initially considered her to be the seller’s agent and took a plutonic position toward her despite her assurance that she also worked on our behalf. She proved herself during the negotiation with the sellers even with our having hired someone to search and evaluate properties for us. During the negotiation she absolutely performed as an impartial arbiter representing our position with clarity and skill. She worked with us hand-in-hand every step of the way from drafting the Compromis de Vente with the French notaire to the final Acte de Vente. Far beyond the sale she provided a wealth of information about the local community, the French culture, highlights of the area, vendors, and service providers. Jacqui is clearly an experienced professional being accessible and responsive. She has also extended herself as a friend beyond the purchase transaction. We are grateful to her steady hand on the wheel and helping to make our dream come true.

Thank you so very much Heather and Kim

Heather recently sold my house in Thiviers, Dordogne. Upon meeting Heather, whom I found to be refreshingly pragmatic, full of energy and enthusiasm, I decided to sell my house with her exclusively, as my representative with Beaux villages immobilier. Heather and her husband, Kim, who is an amazing photographer, arrived to kick start the sale of my home and get it on the market as soon as possible, which was important for me. I must say that Heather took great care in describing my home, with attention to its layout, details and surroundings. I was thrilled with the super photos and a great video, which displayed the beauty of the house in all its glory. As a result of this we had a confirmed sale in a very short space of time Heather was also fantastic in taking care of paperwork needed, which was really helpful in my case! Well done Heather & Kim..for your wonderful support and encouragement in making this transition so much easier and less stressful for me. I would highly recommend Heather as your representative, without question.

Jacqui Reddin-Williams is a true professional

By Anthea and Roger Hale, 10 March 2025

We would like to register our appreciation for the excellent service given to us by Jacqui during the sale of our French property. Her profound knowledge of the complexities of the different French systems is invaluable and she gave us so many useful tips. But it is her ability to make both vendor and buyer feel good about their respective decisions, even when the problems seem hard, that makes the process move forward in a very calm and professional way.

Nadia helped us buy our home

A huge thank you to Nadia Van-Den-Rym for all her help, support and advice she gave us when buying a home in a new area. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Henrietta Short was excellent

Buyers

By Derek Stone, 05 March 2025

Henrietta was the agent on a property we recently bought in the Dordogne. She was excellent. We asked a lot of questions, many of which I wouldn't dream of asking a UK agent, including how much it would cost to do work renovating the house. She went out and found a builder who visited the property and provided a budget for the work. She contacted the local electricity provider for an estimate of work on moving an electricity pole. She was responsive, positive and helpful throughout. It's hard to think of how she could have done more. Thank you Henrietta!

Merrilees was helpful and kind during the sale of my mother's flat

Merrilees was extremely kind and helpful with the sale of my mother’s flat. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was done correctly and her communication was impeccable. I highly recommend working with her.

Thank you Heather Comber

Having just completed buying a house in Thiviers. The agent Heather was one of the most efficient, helpful and very informative person I have dealt with for awhile. Nothing was to much trouble and we felt well at ease. We would like to say a big thank you for the smooth transition and kindness show.

Thank you Nadia and team

By Anne and Vladimir Kouba, 03 March 2025

We are delighted to share our heartfelt thanks to Beaux Villages Estate Agents and, in particular, to Nadia Van den Rym, who guided us through the entire selling process with professionalism, patience, and dedication. She was not only instrumental in selling our home but also the driving force behind finding our dream property—no small feat given the seemingly never-ending journey! It took ages, but we got there in the end, and we couldn’t be happier.

A huge congratulations to the whole team at Beaux Villages—your expertise and support were truly invaluable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Thank you all for making this long journey a success!

Tina was so helpful

By Candy and Dan Woodend, 26 February 2025

From the first communication we had with Tina White, until the final signing on the property purchase, Tina was friendly, very knowledgable, respectful and punctual. We were treated with total respect and felt very confident with both Tina and Beaux Villages Immobilier. Thank you.

Thank you Beaux Villages

Emma went above and beyond

Buyers

By Lynne and Paul Manzi, 14 February 2025

From the start of our search Beaux Villages were above and beyond the service of most of the other estate agents we interacted with. There seems to be more information, more clarity, more attention to detail and an understanding of what a buyer needs, despite working on behalf of the seller. We worked with Emma Dolley on the purchase of our house. She combined the perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond. We felt confident and informed throughout the process (our first time buying) and any issues or questions were swiftly dealt with. Also all the partners they recommended, even with independent research, proved to be the best. I would not hesitate to recommend Beaux Villages, and Emma in particular, for both a seller and a buyer.

I can’t speak highly enough of the BVI Team

Buyers

By Nick Mitchell, 13 February 2025

Beaux Village were brilliant from start to finish, supporting us through the French property buying process. Iris and Victoria went above and beyond particularly when obstacles arose due to our property being out of the norm, there experience and knowledge was invaluable. Also support after completion with the network and contacts they have on the area for anything property related is a massive help, saves stress and mither. Overall I can’t speak highly enough of the BVI Team.

Excellent service and lovely people

By Marie-Louise Van Hecke, 12 February 2025

A very big thank you to Chris Summers at Beaux Villages Immobilier in Bellac. Chris went above and beyond to sell my property in a relatively short period of time. He helped me every step of the way and was always on hand when I was stresses and needed reassurance. Excellent service and lovely people to deal with.

Jane Fraser-Bryan was a professional at all times

Sellers

By Adrian and Penelope Inscoe, 10 February 2025

We chose Beaux Villages Eymet for several reasons. We had been recommended by other clients, and we also knew Jane, plus we knew Beaux Villages have a link with Savills in the UK. 

Jane was very professional from the initial meeting and met all our needs, keeping us well informed along the process journey of selling the property. They engaged genuine house hunters looking for our type of property. All visits were accompanied by Jane giving us ample notice of a visit, so that we could ensure best presentation. The internet presence was professional with excellent genuine photographs on the web. The access given to us via the website to view comments on viewing was an excellent tool that enabled us to keep track of visits by potential buyers. 

Jane and Antony achieved an excellent price for us and nothing was too much trouble for them to ensure the sale went through as smoothly as possible. As with any sale we had some issues that were swiftly sorted and concluded by Jane. Both Jane and Antony were a pleasure to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and we continue to recommend them and Beaux village to our friends and associates.

Jane Fraser-Bryan was our agent

Buyers

By Ben and Dorcas Jones, 07 February 2025

It is now exactly one year since we completed on our property in Eymet. We both work in the property industry in the UK and are well used to buying, selling and developing property. This was a whimsical and personal dream for us and from the moment our dealings began with Jane we knew we had found an agent that we liked and could trust. She took time to understand what we were looking for and sent us many suitable property details to consider before we travelled to France for viewings. We saw multiple houses with multiple agents and, happily, the one we fell in love with we had viewed through Jane. The sales process in France is very different to here in the UK and Jane guided us through it with patience, kindness, enthusiasm and a very high level of professionalism. She and her team went above and beyond and continued to do so throughout the purchase process and long after completion. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jane and Beaux Villages to others.
