Testimonials
"There are three main issues which affect fundamentally the experience and outcome of a househunting expedition in France : sticking to the brief, the distances involved, and the language barrier. Our brief included "must be less than 10 minutes' walking distance from a village centre". On numerous occasions we drove for over an hour to view a property which turned out to be 10 minutes' drive from the nearest village, and the agent would be amazed and upset when we refused to even look at it. This encapsulates our experience, and the only agency we found with the professionalism and intelligence to deliver the brief was Karin Maxwell. All the properties she found complied with our criteria and we bought the fifth one on her list!"

Michael,
It is truly my pleasure and you are deserving of my trust and the highest recommendation that I can give.
Michael Baynes has been an irreplaceable and trusted asset to our organization for many years.
He has managed numerous large complicated real estate transactions of both commercial and residential properties along the Southern California coast. He has always represented us and advised us with exceptional honesty and integrity.
He worked tirelessly reviewing every detail of an acquisition or sale and gave us candid unbiased advice every step of the way. His knowledge of financing, construction and property title gave us confidence in using his advice and recommendations for key decision making.
I cannot think of a more ethical, competent, level headed, intelligent and hard working member of his profession.
Any one in business knows that problems and challenges can arise at any time. This is where Michael truly shines. There have been countless times where an issue or conflict has threatened the success of a deal and Michael's efforts have been the key to getting things back on track.
Anyone who has the opportunity to be represented by him in any type of real property transaction will be well served. He truly is a man motivated by the quality of work that he does for his clients and the reputation that he leaves behind.
