Abodes Abroad & Associates, Inc. is a real estate company based in New York that specializes in facilitating the sale of quality French property to persons living abroad. Our company currently operates through an established network of 75 english-speaking local partners with more than 85 offices in France. All properties are offered at the same prices as they are offered on the French market.

We have led the industry in recognizing the key role that the internet, combined with a local network of professionals, can play in the development of service-based businesses between France and the rest of the world. Our goal is to help buyers find their dream home and through our knowledgeable sales staff assist throughout the entire process.

We understand that locating and purchasing property abroad can be difficult without well-informed contacts and reliable legal and professional expertise. Our aim is to make buying your abode abroad as simple and efficient as possible, so that you can focus on the pleasure of owning a home in France. Our associates meet our clients at pre-arranged times and places, personally accompany them on property visits and assist in all aspects of the purchasing process through the closing of the transaction.

Please let us know how we can help you.
