There are about 4,000 estate agents in Languedoc, and quite a few agents who specialise in holiday rentals. We recently conducted a poll amongst those who've bought property for sale in Languedoc asking them about their experiences with estate agents operating in the Languedoc region, and most thought estate agents here charged too much commission (5%-10% on average) and didn't really listen to their brief.
That said, there are some excellent estate agencies operating in Languedoc. In fact, those estate agents who deal more with foreigners tend to offer a higher level of service, and its those agents who are more likely to list their services on our website! So use our Agent Search function to the right - rather than just wandering into any old estate agent's offices in some village. It could save you lots of time and hassle.
The key to getting the most from estate agents operating in Languedoc is to make sure you're clear on what type of property for sale you're looking for in France. Go to them with a wishy-washy brief, and you'll get dragged about all manner of crumbling maison de villages and ugly modern villas - in areas of Languedoc that just aren't appropriate for you.
One way to tighten up your brief for estate agencies in Languedoc is to have a clear idea of what area of Languedoc you're interested in. Our 'Where to Buy' page will be very helpful in this respect. Also, give your estate agents a clear idea of how much you're prepared to spend - our Property Price Calculator will help you there.
You'll also want to download and print off our free Property Terms Dictionary - as your Languedoc-based estate agent will be babbling away about poutres, l'amiante and clauses suspensives - and if you're not up on the lingo, you could miss out on some vital information.
Lastly, if you have any questions about dealing with estate agents and agencies in Languedoc, then don't hesitate to contact us.
Happy Hunting!
