Kevin Pollock
I am originally from NY but lived the last 20 or so years in the Phoenix area, with stops in VA and FL in between. The vast majority of my career was based in land development and real estate management. The firm I worked for assisted developers in building large-scale master-planned communities, golf course communities, etc. Aside from consulting with the developers, we also managed the asset after it was built, providing long-term partnerships to help maintain the vision. My last position with the company was as Executive Director at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale AZ.
In 2021, my husband and I decided to sell our home and most of our belongings and move to Europe. We initially chose Portugal as our destination, but after some scouting, we decided France was a better fit for us. At first, we arrived in the south of France, Cote D'Azur, but ultimately decided the French countryside was a better fit. The charm of the small villages, the markets, the vineyards, and the slower pace of life was the biggest factor. Additionally, having brought our small dog, apartment (city) life was not the best option.
I'm currently renting a small house in the village of Beauregard-et-Bassac, which is between the cities of Bergerac and Périgueux, about one and a half hours east of Bordeaux. And while I "retired" from my career in land development, I have taken on some part-time marketing work for an English company based in France.
