Hello, I’m Maria and have founded Hello Nice Services that specializes in assistance with administration needs for foreign individuals and home owners on the French Riviera.
Originally of Greek origin, I have lived in various places around the world and have settled down in the South of France; I love it here! After 13 years, I can say it is a great place to live in.
But let’s face it, France is known for its difficult bureaucracy and despite all your effort and research, knowing how to work through some of the particularly complicated paperwork processes can be frustrating.
My mission is helping and finding solutions, offering peace of mind while taking care of all the necessary admin and technical issues while you sit back home and relax. Syndic/Building management, insurance, technical issues is something I deal with on a daily basis.
Being an expat in France or a foreign home owner is made easier when given the right resources, information and support.
I already have many years of experience in real estate and in dealing with most of the administrative and technical problems that home owners encounter as well as everything related to property owning on the French Riviera.
Please feel free to contact me, I’ll be happy to help!
