Property & Relocation

Occitanie Properties: A Truly International Team

At Occitanie Properties, we're fluent in more than just French real estate. With a team made up of colleagues from across Europe and beyond, we bring a truly international perspective to the property market and it’s proving more helpful than ever.

In the past year, we’ve seen a steady rise in the number of Americans relocating to France. It’s a trend that continues to grow and we’re thrilled to be helping so many new arrivals find their dream home in this sunny corner of the world. 

Whether you're moving from New York or Nijmegen, Houston or Hamburg, the process of buying a home abroad can feel daunting. That’s why having a multilingual, multinational team on hand is so valuable.

At Occitanie Properties, our team speaks English, French, German, Dutch, Swedish and more and many of us have experienced the emigration process ourselves. We understand the emotional and practical ups and downs of relocating. We’ve been the buyers who had questions about notaires, rural internet speeds and where to find decent peanut butter.

This first-hand experience means we don’t just sell homes - we help people settle. From translating paperwork to explaining the finer details of French property law, we’re here to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible.

In April, our international approach even caught the eye of Channel TF1, who came to film us for a special feature on the growing number of people emigrating to France. It was a brilliant chance to share a little about what we do and why it matters and yes, there were pastries involved.

As the world gets smaller and more people look to swap big-city life for a more relaxed pace under southern skies, we’re proud to be a go-to team for buyers from all walks of life.

Wherever you’re coming from, we’re here to help you feel at home in France. Speak to us in your language - we probably speak it too.

Occitanie Properties is proud to be a multilingual, multinational team, helping international buyers settle smoothly into life in the South of France
