Specialists
Ruud Meulenberg guides you to the right home in southwest France. Natascha Meulenberg makes sure everything around your move is handled. Two specialisms, one direct point of contact.
Real estate
I've lived in the Dordogne for over eight years. I know the hamlets, the notaires and which barn is worth restoring — and which isn't. Personal property search, purchase guidance and exclusive sale.
Administrative landing
I went through every French form myself when we moved here — so I know exactly where it gets stuck. Car import, company set-up (micro-entreprise / SARL), banking, insurance, CPAM, tax and school enrolment. Calm, structured, endlessly patient.

We negotiate on your behalf and guide the purchase.
