The Paris Edition
Your Paris plans. All under one hat.
Buying property in Paris? We’ve been around the block. A few times.
Based in the heart of Paris. At home across France.
We speak your language.
Finding the right property is only part of the story.
We know the market, the paperwork, the negotiations, and the occasional French peculiarity. We’ve helped buyers find their feet (and their homes) in Paris for years.
There’s financing to figure out, taxes to understand, currencies to exchange and a whole lot of questions along the way. It’s what we deal with every day.
So we’ve brought together the people we’d want in our own corner: experienced property brokers, mortgage specialists, tax advisers, insurance and currency experts.
Good people. Good advice. All under one hat.
100+
independent and boutique brokers in Paris work with us, along with agents around the world who trust us to look after their clients.
The collective
Different expertise. A shared understanding of you.
We’re a small collective of international property and finance professionals who understand what buying abroad involves. We listen to your plans, represent your interests within our respective roles and introduce the people who can help you move forward.

Your life in France
How do you imagine your life here?
Every purchase starts with a picture of a life. We listen first, explain clearly, recommend carefully and move at your pace.
A Paris base
Long weekends, and an apartment that is ready when you are.
We think about lock-up-and-leave, management and building rules.
A family move
Schools, space and a neighbourhood that feels like home.
We plan timing, financing and the move itself together.
Longer summers in France
A country house, a coastline, a village you keep returning to.
We search beyond Paris with the same care.
An investment
A considered asset in a market you can trust.
Tax and currency advice comes in before you commit.
Buyer representation
Someone on your side of the table.
In France, the estate agent usually works for the seller. A buyer’s agent works only for you.
Through our network of independent and boutique brokers, we see homes before, and often instead of, the open market.
