Concierge Services to free up your time!

I provide concierge services in Côte d’Azur since 2013 within my own company Nina Tenkku Concierge Services. I am happy to help with any tasks ; big or small. The tasks can vary from home check up (picking up mail, watering plants etc.) while you are away, providing a cleaning service to managing and supervising full apartment renovations. I also provide full relocation services. I collaborate with hand picked reputed and reliable handymen such as painters, electricians and carpenters that provide fast, reliable and professional results. I have experience in handling water leaks, problems within your building, communicating with different administrations (health service, tax office, insurance etc.)
Some services are also tax deductible in your country.

« I transferred my car from Finland to Nice. It became apparent very quickly that it’s easier to use the car when it is registered in France. I assumed that this was a byrokratical matter and this is why we agreed with Nina to collaborate. This became very important when we dealt with the registeration with various third parties such as technical control, tax office and registeration officials and other similar authorities. In the end we were successful and thank you belongs to Nina for this as she knows the secrets of the local authorities and administrations as well as the French language. »

« Nina´s Concierge Services has now for more than three years provided us services in managing our apartment in Nice. Whether it has been finding the right persons for a renovation or fixing job, monitoring ongoing work at the apartment or joining in the visits with the insurance inspectors or tax authorities, she has always performed the tasks professionally and with great friendliness.
Not being able to be on site when there are ongoing activities in the apartment could be stressful. How ever having Nina to manage these with a prompt report on the outcome has proven out to work very well and has saved our time and need to travel, which has been very highly appreciated.  »
— Katja H. (helsinki, finland)
« We’ve had our apartment in Nice for almost 20 years. We use the apartment during our holidays. Since I don’t speak French and we don’t go to Nice often, we require assistance in taking care of everyday practicalities in relation to the apartment. Nina has assisted us with these practicalities for the last five years. As Nina has been living in Nice for a long time, she has a good network of different workmen. With their help we have carried out small renovations. In addition, we’ve required her assistance when dealing with local bureaucracy such as the building manager, the bank and the tax office. Nina has always taken care of tasks and assignments promptly and reliably. This has enabled for an easy management of our apartment and to be able to always return to enjoy the atmosphere in Nice. »
— Sakari K. (Espoo, Finland)
« We acquired our holiday apartment in Nice approximately 10 years ago. We don’t really speak French and in the past this caused us difficulties when dealing with different matters. We were lucky to have heard through an acquintance about Nina’s company and after everything has been wonderful. We can communicate with Nina in Finnish and this ebables us to avoid misunderstandings due to the language. Through Nina’s services we have received all the assistance needed in order for us to spend successfull holidays in Nice. Thank you Nina ! »

« I have had a very productive and beneficial collaboration with Nina already for 5 years. Taking care and organising fundamental and essential everyday matters has been effortless due to her good knowledge of local administrations and good contacts which is great for a retired person as I am.
Becoming part of the social security and health system as well as connecting with a specialised doctor has been as easy as in my home country. It’s been just as easy to be able to connect with workmen for réparations, building manager and insurance in case of an accident.
Last year, I was burglarised one day before leaving for my Christmas Holiday. Nina organized a locksmith, assisted in declarations for the police and insurance. This enabled me to leave for my vacation with a peaceful mind. Thank you Nina. »

« ‘Habisol is a Finnish real estate agency that helps Finnish people to buy and sell apartments in the French Riviera. It is very important for our clients to get help and assistance in Finnish, especially at the beginning of their lives in France, as the customs are very different, and many clients don’t speak French and are not always present. It has been a joy to recommend Nina Tenkku to help our clients in after sales services, as she has herself been living in the French Riviera for 23 years and has managed to survive in the jungle of French bureaucracy. She understands the cultural differences between Finnish and French people and is able to handle everything on the premises. Resources of the real estate agent are not sufficient to deal with things like coordination of renovation, buying a car or handling an insurance problem. In these types of situations Nina’s help is essential. »
— Pauliina Heng, owner of real estate agency HABISOL (www.habisol.com)
