"I cannot recommend Ben Small highly enough. He worked tirelessly for me to get me the best possible rate, and he felt more like a friend than someone doing a financial transaction."
"Renting in France is a challenge for newcomers for all sorts of reasons. Thanks to the wonderful, attentive, personal, and just flat-out effective help I had from Ibanista, I am now the tenant of a well-located, reasonably-priced, beautiful apartment with an absolutely delightful landlady! I could not possibly be happier with my experience. I recommend Ibanista enthusiastically!."
"Ben at IBANISTA was simply wonderful. He is so knowledgeable and efficient and held our hands throughout our purchase of a small second home in The South West of France. He maximised our funds and also gave us lots of helpful advice. No hesitation in recommending him to everyone- thank you Ben."
"Excellent service, patient and persistent in finding me the right place to meet my needs. Ben, Natalie and the whole team gave extraordinary professional advice and found me a great apartment in a great neighborhood in my budget. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to find the oh so difficult rental contract in France!!"
