Re: Why are French realtors so useless?

Re: Real estate agents nor responding

I don't believe going through international estate agents like Green Acres is the right way to go.

Go to leboncoin or logic immo or seloger and check out the houses for sale.

Re: French visa nightmare

I often (half)watch the programs about Brits who moved to the EU either to set up a business or to renovate a chateau ;).
