Tóco d’Azur : Your Dutch real estate agent ‘sur place’.
Like many people we fell in love with southern France. With the many hours of sunshine, the wonderful climate, beautiful natural landscapes and cultural richness, the South of France is a popular place to buy a (second) house, apartment or land. A place to enjoy life.
In 2009 we decided to live and work in southern France. But even we, three Dutch brokers, ran into many problems when buying a house in the south of France.
Each country simply has its own rules and regulations and you have to deal with it. And we did.
We have been working for years now as real estate agents in the south of France and we know exactly the ins and outs. Nothing is new to us.
With our experience, expertise and no-nonsense approach we assist throughout the search and purchase process. A service of the highest level, professional and reliable. Always an honest opinion.
Nice to know: Tóco d’azur was founded by Dutch entrepreneur Sylvia Tóth. Among other distinctions, she received the Dutch Businesswoman of the Year Award in 1985 and the Leading Women Entrepreneurs of the World award in 1998. The entire staff of tóco d’azur shares her enthusiasm and follows the example of her professional approach. After years of collaboration Patricia ten Have, broker and construction engineer in southern France, has take over the company. Sylvia Tóth is still closely involved in the company.
Patricia has worked for years in the Netherlands as project manager in the construction industry. She was responsible for large utility and health building projects. In 2009 she moved to the south of France due to the much more appealing (living) climate in the South of France. She started her own real estate agency in Nice.
Once familiar with the French real estate system, she also began to build villas by herself. She worked with various renowned architects on the Côte d’Azur.
Patricia’s architectural background and impressive knowledge of the areas and places of the Côte d’Azur are of great added value in the searching- and purchasing process with her customers.
