Riviera Expat Consultants was founded by Francine, together with her husband Philippe TEXIER and her close friend Kick ROODHUYZEN de VRIES, as a result of constant requests for information and help, from both friends and relatives who lived locally and abroad. People who needed support, advice and skill in the management of their residences, be they holiday homes or permanent homes. Every file receives Francine’s personal attention as she takes care of her clients’ properties with the professionalism for which she is so well known.

As a mother of two, she runs the business as her own household. Organisation and perfection are present in all her work, while retaining a calmness that leaves her clients trusting and confident that she is in control. Clients can completely relax and enjoy their holidays.

Along with Francine, the other mainstay in Riviera Expat is Francine’s husband Philippe. Philippe has many years of business law experience and in day to day management he supervises all the quotes, contracts and work in progress on all properties. All renovation or maintenance contracts are first thoroughly checked by him, nothing escapes his attention. He likes to say: “Even if you trust someone, supervision or control is essential”.

Many properties on the client list of Riviera Expat Consultants are under permanent surveillance. This means that Francine and Philippe are available for any eventuality, anytime, day or night, seven days a week. They can be relied upon entirely, all the time. They put heart and soul in their business and work daily on the development of their company, as every day brings them new challenges…
