Athena Advisers Reviews 

Having worked with many estate agents over the years, I can say categorically that none have come close to the expertise, professionalism and friendliness of the whole team at Athena Advisers. If i could give 10 stars, I would!

I have had the pleasure of working with Athena Advisers for many years, and they consistently demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism, expertise, and client care. Their deep knowledge of the French Alps property market—from premium ski destinations to emerging investment areas—makes them an exceptional partner for anyone looking to buy in the region.

Niamh, Charlie, Alex and Juliette combine insightful market guidance with a genuinely personal approach, ensuring clients feel supported at every step of the buying process. They are all proactive, reliable, and incredibly well-informed, making even complex transactions feel seamless.

For clients seeking trusted specialists who can deliver both outstanding service and high-quality opportunities in the French Alps, I can confidently say that Athena Advisers are one of the very best.

We have bought two properties in the French Alps with Athena's help and sold one via them. They are very familiar with the market and have provided us with perspectives in terms of rental returns, sales prices etc. that have turned out to be very realistic. The entire team is very friendly, responsive and helpful. Also, the have a great network of other, high quality, partners in the domain (e.g. notaries, accountants, rental management companies). All together, they have really been excellent in servicing us!

We had a fantastic experience working with Athena Partners throughout the purchase of our chalet in France. Charlie, Charles-Antoine, and Sabrina were extremely supportive at every stage, making the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Their help extended beyond the transaction itself — including introductions to trusted notaries and tax advisors, which was invaluable for us as international buyers.
We are very grateful for their professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise. Highly recommend Athena Partners to anyone considering buying property in France!

We have worked with Athena for almost 3 years. They helped me with the purchase of my apartment and with golden visa investment. They are knowledge and responsive

My experience with David and Athena Advisers has been bar none. They have been with me and my family every step of the way as we've been navigating the complicated process of the pathway to Portugal's Golden Visa. They are also well connected and have been amazing with connecting us to the right people when needed. I highly recommend Athena for anyone who is interested in investing / laying down roots / exploring the Golden Visa process in Portugal.

Athena has been a great firm to work with. Julie, Hajer, Sabrina and the whole team. I’ll certainly work with them again and encourage anyone interested in property in markets they cover to connect with them to learn more.

The agents I worked with were very thorough and made themselves available whenever I needed to speak with them. They put me in touch with excellent lawyers, interior designer and property managers. This made conducting a purchase from overseas (in English) much easier than expected

Athena Advisors, and our main contact Niamh Erbek, are wonderful! She is experienced, professional, friendly and an excellent communicator. Niamh has walked us through the entire Portugal Golden Visa process explaining every step and answering all our questions with emails, webinars, texts, and in person meetings. I highly recommend her and her legal colleagues!

Exceptional service and guidance throughout the process. Easy implementation of necessary steps and transparent process

Niamh was a delight to work with through the process. She was informative, responsive, and patient. We are so grateful.

Our two Athena representatives, Niamh and Pauline, were extremely professional and responsive. They understood our needs and prepared a thoughtful list of properties to visit. Once in Lisbon, Pauline showed us various neighborhoods, which helped us refine our search and focus on what would best suit our needs.

Bought and sold my ski chalet in France through Athena. Excellent service throughout, and with a great sell price within a week of putting it on the market. Thanks for your help. R

We at Chalet Shop have partnered with Athena Advisers for over 10 years. We really enjoy working with Athena to provide our clients with the best possible all-round service. The clients that we share are always positive about their Athena experience and we couldn't agree more! The team are personable and professional. They are pro-active when dealing and communicating with developers, their sole aim being to achieve the best possible result for their clients. Our collaboration means that between us we can provide the full service from purchasing the property to living in it.

Our working relationship with Mathilde and Sabrina goes from strength to strength as we find them to be efficient and 100% dedicated to their clients' end goal. Their understanding of the property buying process is second to none and they are unphased by the inevitable challenges that often present during the construction process. Their network of contacts in the developer world spreads across Europe and although we have mostly collaborated on projects in the Alps, we have also enjoyed working with them on Mediterranean projects.

Athena Advisers are reliable, knowledgeable and experienced and we would not hesitate to recommend their services.

David Moura George and Athena Advisers came highly recommended to us as we started our search for property in Portugal.
David's out-of-the-box thinking, creative problem solving and steady hand led us to the perfect property. He guided us through the process with great expertise, local knowledge and timely responsiveness. Suffice it to say that he made our Portuguese dream come true!

My partner and I can not fault the experience we have had working with Athena Advisers. This is the first property we have bought in Portugal, and the team at Athena have supported us every step of the way. I would highly recommend and would use Athena again. Thank you!

I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Athena Advisors in Lisbon. Their invaluable assistance and expertise throughout the Golden Visa process, specifically with commercial investment, have pleased and satisfied us.

When we approached Athena Advisors, their response was prompt and efficient. Their team of professionals demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in the Golden Visa program and the intricacies involved in the commercial investment route. We were thoroughly impressed by their understanding of the legal and financial aspects, which put us at ease during what could have otherwise been a daunting process.

What truly sets Athena Advisors apart is their commitment to providing diverse investment opportunities. They took the time to understand our unique needs and preferences, presenting us with various well-researched options that perfectly aligned with our investment goals. This level of personalization and attention to detail was both refreshing and reassuring.

Throughout our interactions with the team, their professionalism shone brightly. They were always courteous, respectful, and patient, readily addressing our doubts or queries. Their transparent communication style ensured we were kept informed at every step, and they were always available to guide us through the entire process.

We obtained our Golden Visa through the commercial investment route thanks to Athena Advisors' relentless dedication and support. Their guidance streamlined the procedure and made us confident that we were making the right choices.

In conclusion, we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Athena Advisors. Their comprehensive expertise, professionalism, and the range of investments they offered made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you're seeking assistance with the Golden Visa process or any investment endeavors in Lisbon, I wholeheartedly recommend Athena Advisors – a team that truly goes above and beyond to ensure your success.

I worked with Niamh at Athena Advisers and I couldn't have picked a better person to help guide me through the new territory of buying property abroad. She was dependable and very responsive even with the tough time difference. She answered all my questions every step of the way and I am now a proud property owner in Lisbon. I highly recommend using Athena Advisors + Niamh for future property investments.

Great job and help from Athena Adviser and Niam. First we were warned that the Golden Visa is still in place , then the suggestions for investment in various properties selected by Athena Adviser were excellent. Finally all along the process we got the support needed to achieve the transaction in record time. Athena also helped with the lawyer and the bank. Top job!

Finally, finally Niamh, I’ve found an “agent,” that understands a buyer from abroad needs so much more than, “an agent!”
I love the suite of services your company provides and even more, I love the fact that your property details are comprehensive and not just “three CGI photos and a square metre number!” From now on, I will only use you to find our property!
I’m going out now, but will look at the options in more detail later today. In the meantime, thanks for being the first property business in the Alps that knows what they are doing and what potential buyers want to see! 👍👏👏👏
