Jacqui helped us through the buying process
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

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
By Vivien Wisker, 06 March 2025
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
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
By Christen Friedman, 03 March 2025
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

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!

Emma went above and beyond
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
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
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
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.
Thank you Christian and James

Sarah is a gem
By Linda Horton-Fawkes, 04 February 2025
Just to say how impressed we were/are with our agent Sarah. She really went above and beyond, she has an ebullient nature and this made house hunting fun. We also felt that she was honest about the positives and pitfalls, we really appreciated this as it’s a quality not always associated with estate agents! She always responded (and still does) to our messages, even when on holiday. She’s a real gem, I hope you appreciate her as much as we do.
Thank you to Henrietta for finding our dream home
By Cathy Wilcox, 03 February 2025
We now have our own little slice of heaven in the Dordogne thanks to Henrietta Short at Beaux Villages in Cenac. She was fantastic to deal with - responsive and proactive, going above and beyond to help us with our search. Highly recommended.
