How to find expat selling real estate in Provence?

Expert Info

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Destination: France
My husband and I are looking for a home to purchase in Provence. We found a property online located near Draguignan. The problem is, we have written quite a few emails to the contact agent and we just can't seem to get much information. We asked for more photos, which we got, but they were not of the areas we asked for. None of our questions have been answered. We feel sure it is a communication problem - we don't speak French. How can we find an American expat who is qualified to sell real estate in Provence? Merci.

I need to know if a company who has a corporate/company account with the Bank of Communications, do they have the fascility to pay a salary into a foreign bank account? I have found that money gram's and telegraphic transfers are expensive and limited to lesser amounts if you dont want to have to submit a massive amount of paperwork. Surely a large company has the means of paying you in your own countries bank account?
