Property

Buying & selling on the Côte d'Azur

The guides are free and always will be. Property is what I do professionally: I'm a real estate agent on the Côte d'Azur, and much of my work is with international clients buying or selling here.

Having lived the move myself, I understand that finding the right property is only part of it. There's the French buying process, the paperwork, the notaire, banking, moving and settling in. There are often a dozen practical questions you didn't know you needed to ask, too.

I speak both sides of that conversation. I understand how property works here, but also what it feels like when France is not the system you grew up with.

My role is to help you through the property side of the move and, when something falls outside my expertise, connect you with the right people locally.

What I do

Four ways people work with me

Buying

A search built around the life you want

Tell me how you imagine living here, not just how many square metres you need.

I help narrow down the areas and properties that genuinely fit, preview homes when it can save you an unnecessary trip, and tell you plainly when I think a property (or even a village) isn't right for you.

For international buyers, I also help make sense of the process around the purchase, from the first search through to the notaire and the practical details of getting settled.

Selling

Priced for this market, not last year's

A realistic valuation, the right preparation before the property goes live, and marketing that presents your home well without pretending it is something it isn't.

I work with owners who live here as well as those selling from abroad, where having someone local to coordinate the details can make an enormous difference.

Inherited, downsizing or clearing a home

When there's more to deal with than the property

Sometimes selling the house is only one part of the job.

Through our family-run Azur Logistics service, we can help sort and assess what is in the property, identify pieces worth selling, arrange appropriate resale or auction where worthwhile, donate usable items and responsibly clear what remains.

If belongings need to be moved elsewhere in France or abroad, we can also coordinate packing and shipping with our transport partners.

It means the property, its contents and the practical work around the sale can be handled together, rather than leaving you to coordinate several different people from a distance.

Just orienting

Start with a conversation

You don't need to be ready to buy or sell to contact me.

Many people first get in touch months (sometimes a year) before a move. Tell me roughly what you're considering and where you are in the process. If I can point you in the right direction, I will.
