Erik van der Linden
Co-owner · Estate agent
Ma Maison Immobilier is a small, independent estate agency in Condom, in the heart of the Gers. We are fully licensed and insured, and we work with a simple idea: buying or selling a home in France should feel clear, personal and even enjoyable.
Our story
A family agency in the heart of Gascony
Ma Maison is run by Erik and Marije van der Linden, two Dutch estate agents who made the Gers their home and fell for its villages, its houses and its way of life. Together with a small, dedicated team, they help buyers and sellers from all over Europe.
Our portfolio is focused on the north of the Gers and the south of Lot-et-Garonne, the heart of Gascony, and we know these towns, villages and their houses intimately. Come and see us at our office in Condom: we will be happy to show you around.
Our approach
What makes us different
- We insist on realistic pricing, for buyers and sellers alike
- We understand old houses, having renovated our own in France
- We have managed renovation projects, and know what a property really needs
- We specialise in international clients, in English, French, Dutch and German
- We are family-run, independent and fully licensed
And we stay with you after the sale. Our “comfort package” of advice, aftercare, and accompaniment and translation at the notary’s office is included as standard.

What our clients say
I have no hesitation recommending Erik and Marije of Ma Maison. Their experience, professionalism and attention to detail before, during and after our property purchase was outstanding. They continue to provide us with support and useful tips many months after we have settled down. They provide a smooth and efficient experience - what more could one hope for?
Ma Maison handled the sale of our house both efficiently and effectively.
From advising a price to organising and attending viewings to dealing with the paperwork, Erik was very helpful and informative, keeping us updated whenever anything happened and making sure everything happened on time. At a stressful time, it was a pleasure working with Erik and Ma Maison and we are very grateful for their service.
Ma Maison is far more than an estate agency. From the moment we met Erik and Marije, they couldn’t have been more helpful in finding us our peace of heaven in Le Gers. Their service throughout our house purchase and beyond has been exceptionally outstanding. We know that we can call on them for help at any time and it will be willingly given. This has been vital to us as our French at best is awful! Thank you so much Erik and Marije, we truly appreciate all that you have done and continue to do for us.
We purchased our property through MaMaison. This was our first time buying a property in France, Erik and Marie were always very helpful and responsive every step of the purchasing process. They always gave very practical advice, their understanding of the legal requirements and the process was really useful. We used the Notaire in Condom that they recommended which worked out very well.
Ma Maison, a delightful company to deal with, especially as one hears so many indifferent reports about immobiliers in France. Ma Maison is the exception, a lovely friendly couple who go the extra mile to complete the sale.
Ma Maison Immobilier have been invaluable with their advice in not only helping us with the purchase of a property in the Gers but also in assisting with the ongoing building works relating to it.
They have supplied us with crucial information associated with owning a property in France which we have found extremely helpful. Marije is a fountain of knowledge!
Marie and Erik were absolutely amazing in all aspects of selling our house. Their determination to find the right buyers and to help us every way through the process of selling was beyond helpful.
I have never known my husband to ever send thank you flowers to an estate agency. That sums up our experience!!
Property sales can sometimes move rather slowly in rural SW France, so when your potential buyer finally starts biting you need a good contact with an immobilier who guides quickly and efficiently on the deal, keeps you up to speed, and crucially (if you are an overseas owner like us) can be fully relied upon to uphold your interests.
Well then, that's Erik and Marije and their associates at Ma Maison Immobilier, and we thank them for all the good things they did for us throughout the process
