Buying a second home in France can be easier than you think. Here’s how Green-Acres is revolutionising the way international buyers like you, search for property, starting with lifestyle needs, not just location.

In this new episode, Benoît Galy, CEO of Green-Acres, shares how he built Europe’s leading platform for international second-home buyers. With hundreds of thousands of listings across 56 countries and support in 20 languages, Green-Acres has become the benchmark for cross-border property search.

Watch as he chats with French Connections HCB Founder Richard Hammond about the journey behind the brand’s success, their game-changing move to a subscription model, and how they’re shifting the property search experience to focus on lifestyle, not just location.

If you're dreaming of a life in France, this episode is packed with real-world insight from the man behind the continent’s most popular real estate portal for international buyers. Benoît reveals the best places to buy, where he wouldn't recommend, and why expert advice is crucial when relocating, especially for those moving from the USA to France, Spain, Portugal and beyond.

In this interview, Benoît shares how Green-Acres helps buyers:
Search by lifestyle needs (like golf courses, hospitals, or quiet areas) instead of postcode
Navigate the French real estate market without an MLS
Connect with agents used to helping English-speaking buyers

Thanks to the partnership with French Connections HCB, viewers can now access exclusive relocation help alongside the Green-Acres platform, bringing together property search, visas, legal support, and more.
