FEW VALUATIONS FROM CLIENTS

Deidre and Jacques, New Zealand

We visited St Chinian for the first time in January 2009, after several earlier visits to the South of France
. We were immediately impressed with the charm and atmosphere of this village in Roussillon-Languedoc
and decidedto look at possibilities of purchasing a house. We were equally impressed by the warm welcome given
us by Helene and Philippe Godia at Agence GTI. They went out of their way, in a very short time, to show us houses
that were appropriate to our budget and needs. Well after purchasing and settlement of our new house Helene and
Philippe have shown a professionalism which extended well beyond all expectations. They willingly continue
to dealwith everyday issues that are impossible for us to handle from as far away as New Zealand,
Land of the Long White Cloud. Deidre and Jacques

After visiting St Chinian several times we were delighted to be able to finally buy a house.
We have visited many parts of France but the Languedoc and St Chinian in particular are our favourite places.
Philippe and Helene Godia made the whole buying process stress free. Their after sales service is also great.
They have both been very helpful, organising builders, electricity and water and certainly go beyond the normal
services expected of an estate agency.

From: Janice and Stafford, Saint-Chinian

When my husband and I wanted to buy a house in or around Saint Chinian we consulted a few estate agents in the Herault.
We soon found out that GTI - Mr Philippe Godia and his wife Helene - were the experts on this area. We also noted
that his Estate Agents' commission on purchases was the lowest that we found - and that's important. When Mr Godia took
us to see a house, he didn't try to make it seem better than it was. He pointed out what needed doing or finishing and we
discovered that his estimates of how much it should cost were pretty accurate. He also helped us during and after the
purchase and even got the phone installed for us and also sent his father round to show us how to light the boiler! Helene
made a medical appointment for me when I needed one. As neither of us spoke much French when we first arrived - only
English and Italian - we found their help invaluable. There's nothing like a local born and bred person showing you the ropes.
This is a beautiful region and we have thoroughly enjoyed the eight years that we have been here so far. And we are now living
in the third house that we've bought in this area! It's all very different from London

As we all know buying a house is stressful at the best of times,buying in another country and in another language can be
a minefield. We have been coming to the south of france for years and totally fallen in love with it and the way of life,
so we finally decided to buy a house and make that move. We chose the area around St Chinian, an absolutly beautiful area
and close to everything you could possibly need or want. We looked around the estate agents and on the web for properties
in the area and finally found the house of our dreams on the Agence GTI St Chinian web page. So off to the agents office we went...they were closed,a note in the window said they were closed for a fortnight,going to be a long fortnight waiting, luckily
a friend of ours who lives in the area saw philippe,who owns Agence GTI,picking up his post and had a word with him
about the house and us, he took a day out of his holiday and met us at the house on the following monday,we loved it made
an offer and had it accepted. That was the easy part done. Buying a house in france is so different than it is in the uk,they
have many things to look into just to protect the buyers so patience is the keyword through the whole process and thankfully
Philippe had plenty of this. Even though we have a good grasp of the french language philippe guided us from start to finish in
his near perfect english and was a godsend with all the paper signing the 1st in his office and the 2nd at the notaries, every
single thing is gone over and explained to make sure you are safe in your purchase, the house was now ours Now we needed
the water and electric switching on, philippe had already offered Hèlènes help with this,so we took them up on the offer on
the friday and we had both on by the monday, philippe even went up to the house at lunch time to see if everything was ok
and phoned me to let me know that Glyn might be late back depending on what time the electrician turned up. Philippe and
Hèlène who own and run Agence GTI in St Chinian went out of their way to make the whole process as easy as possible,
in france, and we will always be most grateful for their help and advice. If we ever decide to buy another property or
perhaps some land we will definatley use them again.

"In 2008 we bought our house in Pierrerue through GTI agency. The sale was hassle-free and without any negative surprises.
Equally important, both Mr. and Mrs. were very helpful after the sale. This concerned the recommendation of an architect,
names of building contractors, a helpful phone call to the EdF and general information that made the start of our life in
the Herault just that bit easier. In short: after-sales-service as it should be.
