Meet Jeanette Johnson: My First 8 Months as a Property Angel in Aveyron
Category: > | 13th Jun, 2026
Here at France Property Angels, we love introducing you to the wonderful people who guide you through your property journey. Today,
we are sitting down with one of our fantastic newer commercial agents, Jeanette Johnson, who has spent the last eight months pioneering our presence in the breathtaking Aveyron department.
We caught up with Jeanette to see how her journey is going, what she loves about the job, and what it’s really like on the ground in one of
France's most beautiful hidden gems.
How have you found your first 8 months in estate agency?
"It has been an absolute whirlwind, and things have really taken off!
I am absolutely delighted to have secured two successful sales, brought in two of my own exclusive mandates, and hosted a wonderful
flurry of viewings lately. Because Aveyron is a brand-new territory for France Property Angels, the initial focus has really been about
introducing the agency to the local market and putting this stunning region on the map for our clients. It took a little time to lay the
groundwork, but seeing that momentum build has been incredibly rewarding."
What’s been your proudest moment or biggest highlight since joining the team?
"Without a doubt, securing my very first official sale was an amazing feeling! It required a lot of patience and dedication to get across
the finish line, but it was worth every bit of effort. Beyond the sales, my daily highlight is simply building up the France Property
Angels reputation in Aveyron. It is a wonderful feeling when locals and buyers start recognizing the brand and getting to know me as their
trusted local agent."
What have you enjoyed learning the most?
"I have absolutely loved diving into the entire French real estate process from start to finish. Collaborating with the other agents on
the team and seeing how seamlessly we all work together has been fantastic. What stands out to me the most, though, is the culture of
trust and honesty within the company. It makes learning the ropes a truly positive experience."
What has been your biggest challenge so far?
"The property market moves so fast, so keeping up with the constant shifts and regulatory changes keeps me on my toes! Managing the
administrative systems can also be a bit tricky when you are constantly on the move from one viewing to the next, but it's all part
of the adventure and keeps the days exciting."
What is always in your car when you are doing viewings?
"Two absolute essentials! First, plenty of fresh water to keep both myself and my clients hydrated during a long day of touring
properties. Second, a sturdy pair of boots! The countryside in Aveyron is lush and green, and the grass grows incredibly fast around here—you never know when you'll need to trek through a beautiful meadow to view a piece of land."
What is the most unusual property feature you’ve seen?
"It is almost always the bathrooms! The French definitely have a unique, eclectic taste when it comes to bathroom decor. I’ve seen some
incredibly creative tile choices and color combinations that certainly leave a lasting impression!"
What’s one thing people don’t realise about estate agency?
"It’s really all about a great partnership! We work closely with the property owners to unlock all the details of their home, doing our
absolute best to share that firsthand insight directly with buyers for a smooth, transparent experience."
Give us three words to describe your approach with clients.
"Honesty (always first and foremost!), politeness, and respect."
Tell us something that has surprised you about being an estate agent?
"I think I’ve been most surprised by just how overwhelmed clients can feel when they first arrive. Many of them are already intensely
frustrated by the complexities of French bureaucracy, feeling confused by the language barrier, and caught off guard by how differently the property buying process is done here compared to back home. Buying a home can be a very emotional and stressful time for people, so I always try to meet those anxious moments with extra patience, understanding, and a calm, polite smile to help reassure them that
they are in safe hands."
Finally, what are you most looking forward to over the next year?
"I am so excited to build on this fantastic momentum and, quite simply, sell more beautiful houses! I can’t wait to help more buyers
discover the magic of Aveyron and find their perfect French dream home."
