It was an absolute pleasure working with Sharon on our project. We had been struggling along for a year previous until we made contact. Sharon made the whole process very smooth and was just what we needed to ensure completion. She made an extremely complicated transaction easy. Could not recommend her more highly and would use again in the future if required.

Clients of Sharon Wilson-Dutin – Mr & Mrs Oxley - November 2022
Whilst we have used Furley Page for many years, we were particularly impressed by their services when they oversaw the sale of our French apartment. We found Sharon Wilson-Dutin to be diligent, professional and extremely thorough, keeping us abreast on all pieces. We cannot imagine handling the sale without Sharon’s expertise, for which we are very grateful.
