Client's Perspective

My wife and I owned a vineyard consisting of approximately 16 hectares of vines in Var, France for twenty years and in the Summer of 2018 decided to sell in order to consolidate our affairs. Based upon our enquiries, we realistically did not expect to sell within two years. I was introduced to Michael Baynes indirectly by my London bankers. He took an immediate and encouraging interest in our property and in turn brought Adam Dakin into the discussions. Sensibly and proactively, Michael advised us that Adam’s knowledge of the Var and Provence would prove to be invaluable.

We met with Michael and Adam at the vineyard in November of 2018. My wife and I were immediately impressed with their undoubted knowledge, expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm. At all times we felt we were their most important client. They produced superb marketing material and, due no doubt to their combined network, within three months not only had they shown the vineyard a number if times but indeed had found a buyer. At all times Michael and Adam kept us fully informed as to their progress. Most importantly, they were perfectly honest in terms of the fair value we should expect and this proved to be the case.

I cannot speak too highly of Michael and Adam, as professionals and as gentlemen and have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential client or any business transaction.
