What our clients say
We are different and proud of it. Our vision was clear from the start: to develop a unique and tailored service that fully protects the interests of our buyers, while giving them access to the most exclusive properties across Europe and the market insights needed to make the best decision. People do business with people, not business. Most of our new clients come from word of mouth, personal recommendation and previous client’s referrals. We are about long-term relationships, people, being accountable and delivering on our mandates.

INVALUABLE
In the ultra-competitive market that is Monaco, having Seb and his team by our side was invaluable. Not only to find the right home for us, but also to secure it at the right price. Seb’s market knowledge, dealing with all stakeholders and access to off-market properties were outstanding. We’re now looking at buying in the UK and will use them again. Thank you and highly recommend.
Jules M. (London) – Monaco
BEST IN CLASS
I don’t think we would have bought our flat in Paris without Sebastien and his team. They did an amazing work on the search, helped us with the shortlist and then held our hand through the negotiations, and all done with Sebastien's Gallic charm and good humour. What more could we have asked for?
Andrew Peck (London) – Paris
OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONALISM & OFF MARKET ACCESS
Seb and his team helped me to buy a Chalet in Chamonix by seeking out all available properties in the area, arranging our inspections, offer and negotiation and then navigating the French buying process over a period of months. I couldn’t have done it without him.
Chris Milligan (London) – Alps
SEB WAS BRILLIANT
Having someone with Seb’s expertise really helped to remove the stress from the situation and gave me the confidence to buy in the best possible circumstances. Seb really wants his clients to be happy and comfortable and will advise them in the best possible way. He is honest and helpful, which gives his clients the confidence they need. I have since recommended him to my friends and clients as he was brilliant with me. Thank you!

DELIVERS RESULTS
Seb was highly efficient and extremely disciplined in the performance of his professional duties. His attention to details was second to none and his integrity proves to have been consistently impeccable. Seb is also highly personable with an engaging personality, not to mention the dimensions of his knowledge and command of the market where I invested. He delivered results that had met prescribed objectives imposed by a demanding buyer like myself who happened to be a solicitor.
Jerry Yip (Hong Kong) – London
TOOK AWAY MUCH OF THE STRESS
We were extremely happy with the services of Galleon and hugely appreciated Seb’s knowledge of the areas we were considering. With his European knowledge, he helped us narrow down an initially wide area, and steered us to areas which met our requirements for a property, but also where our investment was safe. I would recommend and in fact urge anybody looking for an overseas property investment to use the services of Galleon. It was absolutely invaluable, and took away much of the stress usually involved in a property purchase.
Martin & Kay Solihull (London) – Mallorca
SEB IS A STAR
Seb is a star, down to earth, personable and extremely professional. He managed a complex acquisition in Monaco for us. The successful outcome is credit to his in depth market knowledge, relentless drive and excellent negotiation skills. An asset to anyone looking to buy in Europe and a friend today.
Vic Cheung (Hong Kong) – Monaco
KEY PARTNER WITH OUR FAMILY MOVE
From New York to London, Seb has been a key partner with our family move. His market expertise and knowledge are outstanding and his advices were on point from day one. He is upfront, managed our expectations, very determined and focused. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone.

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH
A very professional and thorough look at the marketplace helping us find our property of choice. Very helpful in final negotiations.
Ali & Mariam Satrap (London) – Provence
I’D HAPPILY WORK WITH GALLEON AGAIN
The journey with Galleon started with an initial brief of the area in which we were wanting to buy, the type of property and budget. From that point on, we felt very comfortable being led by Seb and his team, from a long list to short list and subsequent viewings in the South of France. He pulled together a team of experts that took away all of the hassle and stress of buying a house so that we could concentrate on what was important to us. I’d happily work with Galleon again and have no hesitation in recommending them.
Doug & Lucy Fawell (Surrey) – French Riviera
PROFESSIONAL, ORGANISED, AND DEDICATED
I have dealt with Sebastien the founder of Galleon on multiple searches and projects. He is professional, organised, dedicated to the highest quality of service. He helped me find, negotiate and conclude the purchase of a fantastic property In London as an investment - I’m very happy with my purchase which would have not been possible without Galleon's help and in depth market search. Overall very pleased.
Bakr Wahab (Cairo) – London
I ALWAYS FELT LIKE MY PROJECT MATTERED
Sebastien helped me make my first property investment in France. It was a true “hand holding” experience from connecting me to the right experts, making sure no mistakes were made, and listening to all my worries and doubts. I was probably the smallest client Sebastien was advising, but I always felt like my project mattered to him. I truly recommend Galleon properties to anybody who wants smooth sailing with their property investments.
Nathalie Siddell (Dubai) – Alps
HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT CONTACT NETWORK
Seb took all the hassle out of negotiating on my new chalet in the French Alps and saved me a substantial amount in the process. He and his team then managed the conveyancing process through to completion. Found Sebastien to be highly professional, knowledgeable and great contact network.
Anthony S. (London) – Alps
ENJOYABLE AND STRESS-FREE
Viewing and choosing our property with Sebastien's help was a really enjoyable and stress-free experience, he found us the right property because he took the time to find out exactly what we needed. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.
John Luckit (Manchester) – Paris
TOTAL PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMITMENT
We engaged Sebastien early this year, to find us a property in Spain. From the first time we spoke through to completion of the project, Seb exhibited total professionalism and commitment to our cause with sound advice, rationalised thinking, and no-nonsense attitude to challenges.
Patrick & Jane D. (Geneva) – Marbella
THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Sebastien has been helping me now over several searches. As a company, they have set the highest standard of excellence. Few can match the professional and efficient approach Sebastien and his team use. They have forged an incredible business that spreads across Europe. They would compliment any search and most certainly work for you with all their years of experience, be it a family house or an investment property. On a personal level, Sebastien is an absolute gentleman and friend and has always had my best interests at hand. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with all their services and would have no problem recommending to anyone.
Luis De Vera (Riyadh) – London

SAVED US €1.3M FROM ASKING PRICE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Galleon and Seb have been recommended to us by our agent. What they managed in a short turnaround is just outstanding. We viewed 16 properties together and fell in love with a few. His expertise in negotiation was also impressive, saving us €1.3M off the asking price. Highly recommend.
Catherine Z. (London) – Quinta Do Lago
