Dear Friend . . . We have a beautiful home for sale in Vire-Sur-Lot, France. We have owned this home for 15 years, and it breaks our heart to sell it, but we have little time to enjoy the place . . . and travel is becoming more and more difficult. It is presently listed with 3 local real estate agents . . . and we have also made a website - For Sale By Owner in France . . . http://www.fsbo-france.com/listing-sw-france-with-lot-river-frontage-305.html If we have not received an offer on our home by late September or early October, we are considering the possibility of DONATING (giving) our home in Vire to Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp . . . a Michigan Non-Profit Corportation (summer school for the arts with international exchange program). Can you please let us know what the PROCEDURE would be for donating our home to BLFAC? Also, what are REQUIREMENTS and/or EXPENSES for us . . . and/or for BLFAC?Our Notaire in Puy L'Eveque is a very nice fellow . . . and the transaction will go through him, but it is difficult to communicate with him, as he does not speak or understand English . . . and our knowledge of French is very limited.Anything you can to do assist us in this matter will be very much appreciated.With Friendly Greetings . . .
