What they say...

“The all-in-concept of the realtor is very convenient. We had to do a modernisation of the holiday home we bought, and we paid a one-time fee for overseeing the works. That would have been very hard to do ourselves, not living in Italy and not speaking the language. That fee stretched a long way, from overseeing the works, dealing with the builders, purchases and the communication between us and workmen, choosing tiles and paint colours, being present for every delivery being made and so on. The work was quoted beforehand and was carried out professionally, within budget and in the estimated time. And still when we have something to deal with now, Madeleine has her handymen ready to sort it out. She has gathered a group of trustworthy professionals around her, from which her clients can benefit.
