Success Story with Sextant
Since 2006, Elizabeth and Kenneth N. had thought about buying a property in France. Elizabeth is a teacher and her husband is a consultant for a company in Sweden. In January 2009, they visited Sextant Properties website and found some properties that interested them. They were often in Sweden and wanted to escape the Swedish winters by owning a property in France for their family and their three adult children. Another essential reason for their desire to purchase a property in France was their love of the country.

After exchanging several emails and phone calls with one of Sextant’s agents, they finally went to France in March 2009 to visit some properties. It was not the first trip to France for Elizabeth and her husband. From their travels over the years they knew that they enjoyed several areas of France. It seemed like it was just the right time to make the leap and buy their own place. When they went to visit properties in France, they visited lots of houses, of different kinds. They really liked one of the properties that they saw in Vendee with one of Sextant Properties’ agents on their last day there.

They immediately knew that it was the one as soon they drove up to the country house. Falling in love with the property, they quickly decided to make an offer even though they’d read many things regarding the complicate process of buying a property in France. In fact, the couple was pleasantly surprised as they had no issues. Within two months they had the keys of their fully renovated old stone property in their hands.

More than a year later, Elizabeth and her husband really enjoy spending time in their holiday home in Vendee. There were only a few things to do like fixing the small garden and furnishing the house when they bought the property. Set in a hamlet in Vendee, even the neighbours are extremely kind and friendly. According to Elizabeth, that is certainly the only bad point of living in France: not being able to easily communicate. But after a few years, they will be able to share their adventures in Sweden with their French neighbours. On the whole, everything is beautiful in Vendee and anyone can feel comfortable in this area of Western France. Set in lush countryside, beaches are not far away. After having looked for a house for nearly three years, Sextant properties really helped them to find the property of their dreams in France in only a few months. Elizabeth and Kenneth only have one suggestion for prospective buyers. Before visiting lots of properties, potential buyers should think carefully about the areas where they would like to live. They shouldn’t hesitate in visiting these areas many times and not only during the summer months.
