My husband and I discovered Grant through his website while we were still living in the U.S. Grant made our move to Marrakech so smooth. Not only did he find the absolute perfect house for our family, but he was extraordinarily kind and responsive to the many questions that arose. He negotiated on our behalf and answered our emails quickly and professionally ... Read more

Because Grant is well-established in Marrakech, he was able to recruit other locals to help in the details of moving abroad when needed. Grant was consistently a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to use his services again in the future. We highly recommend Grant and his team! jen@immigrationgroup.com

I recently bought a house in Marrakech, Morocco. The process was started in November 2010, through Chic Marrakech. Grant Rawlings, who acted as my real estate agent, did a brilliant job helping me first find the house. After the decision of purchasing the property, he kindly and patiently led me through all the legal and formal processes that were necessary in order to finalize the purchase of the property ...

I have felt quite safe and relaxed during the whole process because of his professional assistance. I will not hesitate in recommending him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a house in Marrakech, in need of professional and trustworthy assistance. marianne@selsjord.com

Trevor and I bought our riad just off Derb Debachi in the early summer of 2008. It did not rank as a fine example,but rather fitted the size of our pockets. It then rested, gathering desert dust for two years, by which time it had become uninhabitable.

We named it 'Riad Folie' since family and friends thought us mad to have ever acquired the place. Over the months, their doubts became our doubts and the whiff of regret was in the air.

At just that critical moment we were introduced to Grant Rawlings of Chic Marrakech, who was able to see beyond the damp, dirt, dinginess and confined space. It was his inspiration to make the ground floor mostly open-plan, allowing much needed light to flood in ... Read more

Once we had grasped the revolution he had in mind and shared his confidence that it would be achievable, he then brought on board a team of architects and builders, who under his supervision, made it all happen.

If we had any doubts, they evaporated when he showed us around his own home, a recently renovated riad, which is a real tribute to his creative abilities.

The entire re-build, which all agreed was necessary, took six months to complete. We made site visits every 4-6 weeks and in the interim Grant provided us with photographs of first the demolition and then the construction. The site foreman, Mohammed, was not only very experienced in the delicate work of riad renovation, but always did his utmost to accommodate any changes we wished to make as the build progressed. There were no short-cuts, the materials and the artisans employed were of the highest standard and it was all completed according to plan.

Throughout those six months, when so much could have gone awry, Grant was a constant reassurance. He was always on hand to anticipate any problems and to ensure that we were consulted when decisions needed to be made. We always felt that living in the medina and being a Marrakchi himself was a significant asset. Riad Folie is now finished. It was described just a couple of days ago as a 'diamond'. It does indeed sparkle in our eyes. davison1223@btinternet.com

The biggest advantage with Grant Rawlings over other international property agents is the fact he is married to a Moroccan and rather than pricing against market trend, Grant and his wife visit local Simisers to gain local prices. As such... for price... Grant's service is second to none. simon@marrakech.uk.com
