About my area

Bordeaux offers the perfect blend of sunshine, family-friendly atmosphere, international vibrancy, and rich historical heritage. With its warm climate, families can enjoy outdoor activities year-round, with picnics in the many beautiful parks, to bike rides along the riverfront. The city's welcoming international community adds a cosmopolitan flair, enriching daily life with locals also keen to practise speaking English adding to the welcoming atmosphere within the city. Bordeaux's UNESCO World Heritage status speaks to its wealth of historical monuments, including stunning architecture dating back centuries. From majestic cathedrals to quaint cobblestone streets, every corner of Bordeaux tells a story of its illustrious past. Families can explore ancient landmarks, such as the iconic Place de la Bourse or the grandiose Palais Rohan and the famous water mirror which is a hotspot for families in the summer. Many families chose to relocate to Bordeaux for its relaxed atmosphere and abundance of amenities, including international schools that cater to a diverse expatriate population. Children can thrive in an environment that embraces multiculturalism and offers world-class education. One of Bordeaux's unique features is its proximity to both the Atlantic coast and the enchanting Dordogne region, each just an hour's drive away. Families can easily escape to the sandy beaches of the Atlantic coastline for a day of sun and surf, or venture inland to explore the mediaeval villages and vineyards of Saint-Émilion and the scenic landscapes of the Dordogne.

About me

Born and raised in Glasgow is something I am proud to say, this city and its people have given me many of the personality traits that today are the core to my success as a sales consultant in the International Real Estate market. My outgoing, friendly and confident character, as well as my knowledge and experience in sales have helped me to maintain good relationships with property owners in Bordeaux. After leaving my home city in 2015 in search of a warmer climate I first started my property sales consultant career at the age of 25 in Marbella working with International buyers from all over the world, here is where I found my love for the job and love for the interesting people I met, who many of them we remain friends to this day. When my French partner and I learned we would be having our first child together we decided it was time to move to France and we chose the city of Bordeaux the be the best option for us , I quickly identified that Leggett International Real estate was the place for me with having over 25 years' experience in dealing with local and International clients in France and over 650 independent agents throughout France. I have now been living in Bordeaux since 2019 and I have never looked back, my son is fluent in French and English as well as myself. I work everyday meeting the owners of properties so that with Leggett International Real Estate we can bring beautiful properties to the attention of everyone interested in living in France.
