Sellers

The assistance we received from Anita Rankin during the protracted sale of our house in France was invaluable. As others have said, it was a very sad event, but she guided us through the complicated process with endless patience, which made it much easier for us. We are most grateful.

Dawn Thompson and Alan Paxton – 2019

I am writing to say how much we have appreciated the services of Rankin Sarl in the process of selling our house. In addition to the emotional wrench of selling our much- loved property, the actual transaction proved to be quite complex and difficult. Selling the house whilst living in England would have been enormously more difficult without your assistance. It was a great help to know that “someone was on our side” could be at the property to meet surveyors and other people who needed to visit.

Your communications with the notaire helped us considerably and gave us confidence when working in French rather than English. When it came to the actual signing we were delighted that you were able to accompany us and once more your presence proved to be most helpful. We would be very happy to recommend your company to anyone buying or selling a property in France.

David and Pauline JONES, Colchester – 2017

RANKIN was recommended to us and we were already aware of the great reputation. We are now in the process of selling our house and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the marketing and professional support services.

Buyers

Janet FOXON – (Mayenne, France) 2017

J’ai eu affaire il y a quelques années avec Mme RANKIN pour un petit projet d’achat immobilier. Malheureusement le projet n’a pas abouti pour une raison indépendante de sa volonté. J’aimerais malgré tout saluer son grand professionnalisme, ses compétences et sa gentillesse. Je pense vraiment que c’est adresse immobilière qui n’a pas son équivalent dans la région.
