Owner Joanna MacGovern, has a degree in French and Business studies and spent a year at a French business school in Paris, she then worked in the international corporate world for 13 years living in Hong Kong, the Philippines and London, so she understands the pressures of juggling a high pressured working day with finding and buying that dream Alpine property.

Joanna worked for 5 years for local French estate agency Val d’Aulps Immobilier and managed the office for 2 years. She has unparalleled knowledge of the buying process, a vast range of contacts and has built a strong, honest and professional, reputation for herself in the area.
Her professional background and experience ensures that whether you are buying or selling, Joanna will do her utmost to ensure a smooth process. 

To follow are a selection of comments from some of Joanna’s past clients:

 “Joanna was a real superstar when we bought our chalet in St Jean d’Aulps in 2006.  Once we had found the Chalet we wanted, she worked tirelessly to ensure everything went to plan.  This included many meetings with the developer, lawyers and tradesmen.  She even introduced us to furniture makers and local contractors and continued to be invaluable long after we were installed.  I am delighted she has set up her own business and am sure she will impress all who engage her.”

Keith Falconer, Chalet, Saint Jean d’Aulps, 2006

“From initially highlighting an interest in buying a property in and around the Morzine area we were soon on the way to booking a trip to France with scheduled properties to view over a period of 2 - 3 days, thanks to Joanna’s local knowledge and sales guidance we were shown and discussed all property options available. Fortunately it didn't take long to find our dream property and were thrilled with Joanna’s patience and support throughout the buying process. Thoroughly recommend!”

Steve and Helen Lang, brand new chalet, St Jean d'Aulps,  March 2008 

"Joanna was a great support when buying our chalet near Morzine in 2008. Her excellent language skills, understanding of French conveyencing and level headedness were a great help."

“When I brought my place in Montriond it was a very nerve racking experience, and I don’t think I would have made the commitment if it were not for Joanna guiding me through the process, I thought the service she gave was exceptional, and if in the future I require The services of an agent in France it will be hers! I wish her the best of luck and I will willingly recommend her new company to anyone.”

David Epps, chalet, Montriond

"Joanna's help and local knowledge was invaluable. Without her I am certain we would never have found our dream home. The fact that Joanna guided through the whole transaction, from finding a property, to the complicated purchase process and finally through helping us to find the people to renovate our house was invaluable. Before we met her we stumbled along, after, we found the whole process much more manageable. I would advise anyone looking to purchase in Haute Savoie to contact Joanna. She guided us effortlessly through what could have been a complicated and fraught process."

Crispin Fordham, Farmhouse, Le Biot

"We found Joanna extremely helpful when we were buying our apartment in Le Biot.  We have really enjoyed the experience in France and will hopefully continue to do so.  We would certainly recommend Joanna to any of our friends who were thinking of buying in the area, and judging by how much our friends have enjoyed it when staying at our place, it could happen.
