For some time, I had been following Living on the Côte d’Azur, simply out of personal interest—because it gives a clear overview of the current selection of villas in the South of France, and because they send out nice periodic emails with interesting facts about the region and what there is to do. A few months ago, our family decided to make a long-cherished dream come true: to actively search for a holiday home in the Alpes-Maritimes.
Our first contact with Ab immediately felt right. He allowed us to be ourselves completely and never put any pressure on us. His knowledge of the market, his honesty about both the opportunities and the challenges, and his relaxed, friendly manner instantly gave us confidence. We quickly knew he was the right person to guide us.
Ab listened carefully to our wishes, sent us suitable options, and refined the search based on our feedback. Communication was smooth and proactive via email, phone, and WhatsApp – even in the evenings and on weekends when needed. Within two months, we had a shortlist of six villas that stood out to us, after which we travelled to the South of France to view them. Ab organised the entire tour and accompanied us throughout the day with advice and guidance, including tips along the way, such as a charming local market where we enjoyed a lovely lunch.
We found our dream home that very day: a beautiful place with sea and forest views, the right layout, and enough potential for renovation so we can add our own style. Even during the formal process – from negotiation to legal completion – Ab kept a close eye on everything and pointed us towards the right professionals to support us.
Living on the Côte d’Azur truly stands out because they look after your interests. They don’t act for the seller, but are completely on your side. Since a week ago, we are officially the owners of our home, and we look back on a smooth and pleasant process. Even though the purchase is complete, Ab continues to follow up with genuine interest and still provides us with valuable tips – from gardener to pool specialist.
We wholeheartedly recommend Living on the Côte d’Azur and Ab – a must for anyone looking to buy a home in the South of France.
