Enjoy the festive season and farewell to 2024!

22024 has been a year of turning dreams into reality and seizing new opportunities. We bid farewell to our iconic office in Meursault while introducing innovative interactive systems that further enhance the quality of our services.

We take pride in facilitating the sale and purchase of numerous properties, made possible by the dedication and professionalism of our 14 committed agents.

Additionally, we’ve seen a growing demand for our expertise as property advisors, helping buyers navigate the acquisition process smoothly and effortlessly.

The enthusiastic feedback from our clients—both buyers and sellers—reaffirms the impact of our work.

We are delighted to share these successes and much more with you in our end-of-year newsletter.
Our last newsletter in 2024, Wishing you joy and peace this festive season as 2024 comes to a close!
We begin this newsletter with important news:

After 17 wonderful years, we have decided to close our office in Meursault. With our transition to online services, we are now more accessible than ever. We continue to provide the same high-quality and professional service, no matter where you are. Thanks to our new tools and systems, you can count on faster responses, real-time property updates, and 24/7 availability. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell a home, our team is here to provide you with the best possible experience.

A special thanks to our incredible colleague Maïté, who has been part of the France4U family for 17 years. We wish her all the best as she embarks on this new chapter in her life!

At France4U, we remain committed to improving our services for both buyers and sellers. Here are some key enhancements we’re excited to share with you:
• Multilingual communication: Our advanced system automatically translates inquiries and forwards them to the most suitable team member, ensuring you receive a response within 8 hours.
• Expanded market reach: Starting next year, your property will be featured on prestigious platforms such as Belle Demeures, Figaro Immobilier, and Se Loger, covering 90% of the major French real estate portals.
• Faster contract processing: Our new system allows legal contracts to be prepared within a few hours, significantly reducing the time from offer to signature.

In this edition, we also bring you our annual Christmas special! Find out where and when to visit the best Christmas markets in Burgundy and why this region is the perfect place to spend the holiday season.

We also introduce you to Monique and Werner, a Dutch couple who made their dream come true in Burgundy. Their inspiring story highlights how they overcame challenges and started a new chapter in their lives.

Additionally, we share valuable insights into the real estate market:
  • When is the ideal time to sell your home?
  • What changes are coming in 2025? From mandatory energy labels for second homes to the declaration of oil tanks and an increase in transfer taxes.
  • What role do foreign buyers play in the French real estate market?

Finally, we explore Burgundy through the eyes of younger generations, Gen Z and Alpha. Why is this region increasingly popular among them? The concepts of slow travel and slow living play a key role here.

To close, we hope to inspire you with our tips, stunning properties, and stories. Whether you’re dreaming of a second home in France, seeking guidance for a purchase, or simply enjoying our updates – we are here to help.

We look forward to entering 2025 with you!
