I ask this question as to be honest I have never worked with two people like you two. I was looking back over the emails – the first one being 20 December 2007. We faced so many obstacles and I know that most people would have just given up. However you both gave more than you should have done to ensure this become a reality and I think we all motivated each other towards the end as we had come so far. Coupled with my constraints of pleasing two other investors I cannot fault the timeliness and urgency to respond to almost any question I had. As a client I felt that you had my interests at heart – in fact I was talking to another professional who summed it is so well – you treated the whole purchase as if it was you actually making the purchase – and with such a level of care I can only commend you both on future endeavors and to future investors. I worked in an unusual work environment but this did not phase you at all. It seemed sometimes every system and the persons attached to them we were against us achieving final settlement. It is a remarkable feat that we got to where we did to be honest and I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this happen. Best wishes: Simon Carter Regional Finance & Administration Delegate Irish Red Cross Ì – Sri Lanka and Indonesia Delegations
Selling a house can be very difficult, and a house in a foreign country even more so. I listed my Dominican Republic waterfront home with several local agents and although there was some activity, nothing came of it. I found your website while searching for an alternative and immediately sent an inquiry. Andrea Marie Portugal quickly responded. After supplying the details of my home she developed a wonderful page on the website for my house. It wasn't long before we began to receive inquiries from all over the world. I am happy to report that yesterday I had the closing on my house! Andrea and Judy were extremely professional and responsive, a wonderful liaison between myself and the buyers, and they did everything they could to make the sale of the property go smoothly. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone wanting to sell their property. The Internet makes it possible to reach people worldwide. Judy in Ireland and Andrea in Canada made it happen for me in the Dominican Republic. Thank you IMOINVEST! Sincerely, E. Burr - United States of America
I have just bought my first investment property in Berlin. Thanks to Judy and Magali and the staff in both Dublin and Berlin offices for all their help, advice and responsiveness in making the transaction as straightforward as possible. I would recommend the company to anyone interested in overseas investment. Sincerely, Yvonne Brennan - Ireland
I must say I am impressed with your prompt service and advice, and will be comfortable making further purchases with you in the future. Kind Regards, Jim Sullivan - United Kingdom
Thank you and your colleagues for your hospitality and sound advice on our recent visit to Berlin. Sincerely, Steve Turner - United Kingdom
I just wanted to thank you so much for all your assistance with the recent purchase I made through yourselves at Meunechenerstrasse in Berlin. All in the Dublin office and Magali in Berlin have been a great help and made it an easy and pleasurable experience. I will be looking to purchase again and so hope to do business with you again. Thanks again, Mick Wall - Ireland
I heartily thank you for your outstanding and comprehensive advice. Buying a property in Europe is an altogether different experience to buying one in your home or a nearby city, or even a neighboring country. Your honest appraisal of various flats in the searching stage gave me confidence in your guidance, and your assistance throughout the buying process has surpassed anything I have experienced. Merci beaucoup, Daniel - Australia
Thought I'd drop you a line to say thank you for making this transaction so easy and so pleasant. You've been extremely efficient, well organized and kept us up to date with new opportunities. A big thank you. We have bought properties from other agents which I am sad to say were nowhere near as professional as the way you have dealt with this purchase. I think they could do with a few lessons from IMOINVEST! I trust that you will be recognized for your excellent service. Well done and keep up the good work. Here's to our next one, Joanna Yexley - United Kingdom
l had excellent repoire with your agent, and felt the manner in which you dealt with my transaction to be very impressive and professional. As a result of dealing with yourselves, l found that when l pursued another property listing with another company, the feeling and feedback l received from them made me very uncomfortable. l was fortunate in gaining so much advice and service from IMOINVEST that l realized not all companies have the same competence as yourselves. l write this to show you how much l appreciated our communication together, and I will be happy to recommend you to my friends and family. Yours Sincerely, Graham Tanker - Norway
Thank you very much for the bottle of wine which was sent to mark the signing of the Carre d'Or property, it was a very nice gesture. I would also like to thank both of your for all the help and guidance you've provided throughout the purchase and mortgage process. I would be happy to recommend IMOINVEST to any of my friends or colleagues. Thanks and Best Regards, Betty Molloy - Switzerland
I am delighted that I decided to stay 3 extra days in Berlin. Julien and Helge were terrific, very professional, very informative, full marks to all of you! The best investment company of all the ones I contacted, definitely. What a team! The "Other" company I contacted was knowledgeable but very pushy to try to get their clients to sign quickly. Perhaps if one has a lot of money, and no fears about risking losing it, then it's easy to make such a snap decision. However, for me, it's different. I am new to the property game and cannot afford to make a mistake. Firstly, I needed to be sure that a property was rentable and would never be empty, so that it is financially independent. Secondly, I needed to know the chance of good capital appreciation. During this phase of my research, your lists were extremely helpful because they give so much useful information. As I said, your company has been the best one I've found based abroad. I have many friends here now coming to me for advice, people who don't have the time or energy to research as I did, and I will be recommending that they phone you. I would like to finish by saying thank you, Gobaad, for all you did. Sincerely, Rhys Young - United Kingdom
I cannot express my gratitude for everything you have done for my purchase of these two properties in France, both of unbelievable location and price. I certainly will be grateful forever especially for the marvelous investment I am leaving for my children. For me this is not about the money, or how much profit and appreciation these properties will generate, instead it is about having a piece of the most beautiful place on this planet, the pleasure of traveling to many different countries near France, and the most important: to help my friends have the same benefits. Your loyal client, Suzanne Halmer - United States of America
Merci beaucoup for the book on Paris. Also, thank you for the compilation of contact information for the different businesses and agencies with whom we will be interacting. Thank you also for your offer to help if we have questions. More importantly, though, thank you for your assistance during the purchase and closing process. We do not know how we could have managed without your help. We appreciate the a€œhand holding€ you did for us. Sincerely, Meredith and Steve - United States of America
I would very much like to take this opportunity to commend the staff at IMOINVEST, specifically Maura and Myriame. I recently closed on a unit in Les Jasses de Camargue. I must admit that it was a long process, as you know us Americans want things done post haste if not sooner. Maura and Myriame handled this graciously and continually labored to find a means to the end. Please give them a pat on the back for me, and the rest of your staff for a job well done. As you know what is bought, is then sold, I'll keep you in mind. My Regards, Peter - United States of America
What a wonderful surprise we had when we went to the mail yesterday! Thank you for the beautiful book of our favorite city in the world. We will treasure it always. Jenna, we feel the same way about you. It's not just your superb professionalism, it's your character, and that is an unstoppable combination. We just want to know how happy we are! Warmly, Jim and Katie - United States of America
Personally I would like to say how happy I have been with IMOINVEST. You guys have been great throughout the whole process. Thanks. Regards, Adam and Mandy - China
Thank you for this information. It is very reassuring to have you as a contact to help with these details, as I don't really know or understand the process. Thanks Again, Michael - United Kingdom
We received a lovely surprise in the post yesterday, thank you very much for the gift. We are starting to get excited about the apartment now. We hope that the family will be able to spend our first week in the new apartment with us. Thank you for the excellent service that you provided to us. Sincerely, Gerry and Linda - Ireland
You've been an invaluable help during this process, and all your information, figures and effort way back at the start had a great influence and gave us the confidence to move forward. Quite a few people have shown a lot of interest in what we've done and who we've dealt with during the purchase, so we have recommended you and IMOINVEST to them, hopefully one or two will be in touch. Thanks again! Sincerely, Russ - United Kingdom
I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help in getting the VAT issue resolved. I really would not have been able to do it without all of your help. You have made this a very smooth process, and I am very pleased with my property. Again, I just wanted to say thank you. Best Regards, Rob - United States of America
I truly enjoyed reading your newsletter and look forward to receiving future issues. I wanted to say simply this is one of the best things you can do for your long time investors. I can see your progression, with great joy, from a real estate firm to multitasking financial advisors, thinking of their customers every step of the way. I can simply state that I am so proud of doing business with you. Thanks for everything, Sami - United States of America
We recently purchased a Leaseback property in Valmeinier, France through IMOINVEST. You were really instrumental in making what could potentially have been a very stressful and complicated process into one that was straightforward and even enjoyable. Your incredible patience and ability to put us at ease was no less than impressive. From tirelessly explaining the various options available to us and translating French documents to liasing with banks, solicitors and accountants on our behalf, and even helping us to deal with tax issues 6 months after the purchase was completed: nothing was too much trouble. We would not hesitate in buying another property through IMOINVEST again in the future and have no reservations in recommending the company. Sincerely yours, Matthew and Anthoula - United Kingdom
Thanks so much for the beautiful book on our new neighborhood (in spirit, at least). Although the apartment is an investment, that we'll almost certainly never spend a night in, still it's an investment that's way easier to daydream about than a position in a hedge fund! And it's certainly been great having you steer us through the paperwork forest. Best Wishes, Scott and Pat - United States of America
We have received IMOINVEST's present and it has really been a very nice surprise. We appreciate it very much, as well as your constant help during all the process. We are very pleased with the acquisition. Sincerely, David - Spain
Let's buy a third property! With the VAT refunds from the first two Leasebacks, a contribution from my own funds, the VAT advanced by the developer, and a nearly 5% guaranteed return, I will make this one self-funding and be able to use it 4 weeks a year. I just can't get a deal like that anywhere else in the world. Sincerely, Daleen - United States of America
I am selling my rented property in the UK and converting it all into Leasebacks. I will also buy through IMOINVEST because the service is comprehensive, my agent stayed on top of the sale, and they help me through every step of the process until my VAT refund came. I bought my first Leaseback through another agency and they didn't offer all the help that IMOINVEST offers. Sincerely, Francesco - United Kingdom
I just wanted to say, for the record, a big thank you to Suzanne for arranging everything about our leaseback purchase, especially all the paperwork she has helped me with since Brian died unexpectedly earlier this year. I have recommended Suzanne as a point of contact for a number of my friends who are thinking of buying leaseback property in France, and I shall certainly go back to her myself, when I am ready to buy my next one. Many Thanks, Morag - United Kingdom
I must apologies for not writing sooner to express my thanks, both for the gift and the assistance of your firm, in particular Mme Suzanne Lee. Over the past 18 months as I analyzed maybe twenty different deals using different brokers in France, no one came close to Suzanne in terms of responsiveness, attention to detail and a general desire to keep the client happy. Suzanne's patience and persistence kept me on a straight track. I also must say that the deal Suzanne negotiated for me is second to none, quite unique, and not one that I will match again, at least in France. You are very fortunate to have her as an agent, and I for one would recommend IMOINVEST to other property buyers. She has now guided me through two acquisitions in France. Again, thank you for the help of IMOINVEST, and most especially, Mme Suzanne, and I wish your firm every success for the future. Kind Regards, Paul - Poland
Many thanks for the book about Paris: unexpected and greatly appreciated. We also wanted to thank you for making the whole process work so well. Trust is obviously the most important element and doing this without having met you, even after a recommendation, is not something we would normally do, you have obviously proved yourselves on this one and we have recommended you to a few people here in Dubai. Thanks again. Kind Regards, Alistair and Julia - United Arab Emirates
I recently used IMOINVEST's assistance to purchase property in Southern France, and I have been immensely impressed by the quality of service and assistance IMOINVEST has been providing. My experience suggests that IMOINVEST has a first-rate knowledge of the French property market and all relevant service sectors. You have guided me through the process of selecting and purchasing the property with great care and attention. You have helped me choose the right location and price range, obtain a favorable mortgage, and get in touch with the suitable management company, law office and accounting professionals. Your responses to my numerous questions have constantly been clear, complete and virtually immediate. You have called me several times to discuss fine details when you felt that an e-mail message would not have been sufficient. You also coordinated the communication and interaction between the notary public's office in France and the Hong Kong law firm where some of the documents were signed. My understanding is that IMOINVEST wishes to expand its services to Brazil, Panama and other possible locations in Latin America. I don't hesitate to support their plans by offering my strongest recommendation. Sincerely, Laszlo - China
Many thanks for all your help. Your personal attention to helping me through the process has been invaluable, and greatly appreciated! Thanks again, Calum - New Zealand
We have today received a parcel which contains a letter from IMOINVEST and a beautiful book about Paris, to mark the completion of our purchase of a studio. May we thank you sincerely for this gesture and for all the assistance provided by IMOINVEST. You have been the rock against which we have relied upon much of the time. Thank you for your great patience and expertise during the process. We are looking forward immensely to being the proud owners of our first property in France. Kind Regards, Geraint and Gail - United Kingdom
Gregory Lu has not only been our Realtor for two years in France, but he has helped us purchase two properties: one in the Alps and one in Mougin. We bought these two properties site unseen and went on his word. After 250 emails back and forth across the ocean, we bought the two properties and they were better than what we were told. I can highly recommend Gregory, for everything he told me was correct and he continually helps me with understanding things that pertain to our properties when I need his help. You just can't go wrong with Gregory Lu. Sincerely, Jim - United States of America
Many thanks for the surprise bottle of wine which reached my home over the weekend. It was a very nice gesture. I have to say that Suzanne my agent is one of the best professionals that I have had the pleasure of dealing with over the years. Best Wishes, Paul - Ireland
My wife and I purchased a leaseback property through IMOINVEST in 2004. We have been very impressed by the level of customer service that they have provided. We found them to be efficient, informative and courteous in all of our correspondence with them. They were a great help and I would have no hesitation in using their services again. Sincerely, Ed and Danielle - United Kingdom
