When you embark on the journey of buying or selling a home, you dream of finding not just a real estate agent, but a guardian angel who can navigate the labyrinth of listings, negotiations, and paperwork with grace, expertise, and a touch of magic. Well, folks, dreams do come true, and they come in the form of Olivier – the real estate maestro. He truly is the best real estate agent in Bordeaux!

Navigating the complexities of French real estate could have easily felt like deciphering an ancient, cryptic manuscript, but Olivier made it a walk in the Versailles gardens. He was there at every step, offering clarity, support, and expert advice. Whether it was legal paperwork (and oh, there was paperwork), or simply reassuring us that, yes, owning a chateau is indeed a feasible dream, Olivier was our steadfast ally. But Olivier's magic doesn't stop at finding the perfect home. Oh no, it extends far beyond. From negotiating deals that had us pinching ourselves to ensuring every i was dotted and t crossed, Olivier handled every step with finesse and confidence. We were not just clients; we were part of Team Olivier, and together, there was no hurdle too high, no challenge too daunting.

Every corner tells a story, and thanks to Olivier, we are now part of that narrative. Our new vacation home is more than we ever hoped for, a tranquil retreat that feels like it’s been waiting for us all along. We are eternally grateful to Olivier for making our dream a reality. Our heartfelt thanks go out to him, not just as our agent, but as a dear friend we gained along the way. Thank you, Olivier, for making our dream a reality. Here’s to many wonderful memories to come in our beautiful château. If we ever decide to venture into the market again, you’ll be the first call we make. Cheers to the best in the business!

We have recently purchased a house near Duras in the Lot Garonne. We have been looking for a house for the past 2 years in and around the area. Jane met us and showed us around the house. My Husband and I were very impressed with Janes professional knowledge and experience when showing us around the house. She showed passion and confidence in the house we were viewing. So much so that we put an offer in on the same day which was accepted. Jane was quick to respond, as the owner lived in Australia and there was the time difference. Jane also returned the very next day to show us around the grounds of the house (Which was 22 acres) Jane has provided us with an amazing after sale service offering further help and advice. She was so easy to work with and it was an absolute pleasure to do business with her. We hope that this might be acknowledged within your business as she is such a devoted and enthusiastic individual. On a side note, I would also like to say that after trawling through 1000’s of photos of houses for sale on different websites. It was always a pleasure and complete luxury to view the photos on the Maxwell-Baynes website. The photos were clear and always gave an incredible insight into the house. We loved the aerial shots of the grounds too. We felt that this made a massive difference when viewing one house after another. Our sale was straight forward without hitches and we are looking forward to moving in officially in the next couple of weeks. So a big thank you to Jane for supervising the process. We will definitely be recommending Jane and Maxwell-Baynes to friends of ours in the future.

We would like to thank Jane Vernon for her profound dedication and professionalism throughout the process of selling our longtime family property in the Lot-et-Garonne region. From the first meeting we knew that Jane was the best and the only choice for us.  Her knowledge of the area, expertise in the field combined with her kind-hearted steadfast and grounded personality makes Jane Vernon a first-choice real estate agent! She understood our wish for not just finding any buyer but the right one for the house. She loves what she does, and it shows. By choosing Maxwell & Baynes and Jane Vernon we got the best presentation of the property. The photo and video presentation as well as the high level of execution before, during and after the sale of the house was really outstanding. Jane Vernon’s large network and valuable advice provided us with all the help and confidence we needed along the way. She is truly committed to guiding both byer and seller through sometimes-challenging moments dealing with authorities and unexpected bumps in the road. We could not have done this process without her. Navigating us safely through the ups and downs with a high level of problem-solving skills, consistency, kindness and a positive attitude thus making the whole experience a good one in the end. We are forever thankful and would highly recommend her for anyone buying or selling their property. You will be in safe hands all the way.

I would like to share my wonderful experience with Olivier Demessemakers. We bought a house via Olivier in 2023 in Berneuil. From day one until now Olivier was very helpful with all the questions that we had and with helping with all other issues that we needed help with, especially with the language issues. I would really recommend Olivier to all house buyers and sellers in this region. We were really happy that he was our real estate agent. Next to the fact that he is a professional he is also a real nice person. Unfortunately we have a lot of issues with the house we bought, but Olivier is still available to help us. Thanks a lot Olivier, you are the best!

Wow...what a professional. Olivier Demessemaker said he would sell my house and he did !

I had my house on the market for two years with little response. Then I met Olivier and the house sold in 5 days. So much interest was created by his advertising. What a breath of fresh air in his approach to selling houses. Completely different to the normal estate agents here in France . But much more than this it's Olivier himself. He goes the extra mile and more. Always there to guide,offer advice and be with you every step of the way. I can't thank him enough.

Mille mercis

We thank you for your outstanding professionalism in marketing our house in Molières to the right market, sold after only three visits. That was just the beginning, you then managed the process with great care over the three months until the final signing, thank you. Your attention to detail was amazing, you were so thorough. Thank you for your integrity and patience in dealing with every aspect of the sale.

We would like to thank Matthieu Maziere for his support and above all his professionalism throughout the sale of our property. It was no small achievement to find a buyer for our unique property, but he combined determination with a sense of human relations. We were extremely impressed. We warmly recommend Matthieu with his characteristic benevolence and seriousness. We would be delighted to work with him again if the opportunity arose.

Matthieu Mazière guided us through the purchase of our main residence. From the first visit to the property until the handing over of the keys, Matthieu was a great help and gave excellent advice - especially since this was our first purchase. He was a very valuable intermediary in communicating with the sellers. He was available to answer all our questions and was receptive to our requests. As buyers, we could not have been better supported by Matthieu. We warmly recommend him!

Sa connaissance approfondie du marché immobilier local a été un atout majeur pour obtenir le meilleur prix pour ma propriété. Son professionnalisme et son intégrité ont été exemplaires, et je me suis senti en confiance à chaque étape. Il a contribué à rendre cette expérience aussi fluide et positive. Sa coordination sans faille, son efficacité et son amabilité ont été remarquables. Grâce à son expertise et à son soutien, j'ai pu vendre ma maison avec succès et réaliser mes objectifs. Je ne saurais trop vous remercier pour votre accompagnement exceptionnel et votre engagement envers mon projet. Je n'hésiterai pas à recommander vos services à mes amis, ma famille et mes collègues à la recherche d'un agent immobilier de confiance. Matthieu est véritablement un professionnel remarquable et je suis honoré d'avoir eu la chance de travailler avec lui. Encore une fois, merci du fond du cœur pour tout ce que vous avez fait.

Satisfied! I would like to state our complete satisfaction with the high quality of the services provided by Jane Vernon of Maxwell-Baynes. Both in buying and selling, Jane helped us to realise a perfect collaboration on two occasions (10 years apart!). Her proactivity, which leaves no email or call unanswered, without regard for the distance travelled, combined with her great kindness, her know-how and her exceptional tenacity, work wonders in intense negotiations.
