    Patricia worked for many years in the Netherlands as a project manager in construction. Here, she was responsible for large utility and healthcare projects. In 2009, she moved to the south of France because of its attractive (living) climate and started her own estate agency in Nice. Once familiar with the French estate agency system, she also started building houses herself. In doing so, she sought collaboration with several architects on the Côte d'Azur. In 2012, Patricia merged her estate agency with tóco d'azur: Sylvia Tóth's company. In 2015, she took over the company entirely. As a former founder, Sylvia Tóth is still involved in tóco d'azur. Patricia's construction background and knowledge of the areas and places of the Côte d'Azur are of great value in the search and purchase process with a client.
