From travel to exclusive property
Having studied economics and social sciences at university, and following two years spent in the United States, I began my first career in luxury tourism in the 1980s.
Curious by nature, open-minded and driven by a passion for discovery, I set up my own travel agency in Cannes.
Long before the term became commonplace, I was a ‘travel designer’, devising entirely bespoke trips for a discerning clientele, whilst travelling the world in search of new destinations, new cultures and new experiences.
11 September 2001 marked a turning point in my professional career. I had to reinvent myself and, almost by chance, turned my attention to the luxury property market. To my great surprise, some of my long-standing clients soon entrusted me with the sale of their properties.
I then discovered a profession that I am passionate about. In a way, I continue to take my clients on journeys, but in a different way: by helping them discover and purchase the homes of their dreams.
The journey that began at that time has continued ever since with the same passion and the same high standards.
‘Without dreams, nothing is possible.’
But experience has also taught me that dreams come at a price: that of high standards.
The keys to success:
Know-how acquired in the field and constantly updated,
A network of loyal partners,
An international presence at property shows and effective marketing,
Availability and the ability to analyse different markets,
A guiding principle: to choose the properties it offers, preferring quality to quantity in accordance with Mies van der Rohe's adage "Less is more",
The passion for places that make people dream.
Architecture:
As an architecture enthusiast, I naturally gravitated towards this highly specialised area of the property market and, since 2011, I have been facilitating the sale and acquisition of remarkable 20th-century architectural works for a clientele of collectors and enthusiasts, both in France and internationally.
My curiosity, my love of discovery and my thirst for knowledge remain as strong as ever. Today, they are underpinned by the experience and expertise I have gained over the years, which I put at your service to ensure the success of your property projects.
It is this passion, this experience and this knowledge of the market that I offer you, with enthusiasm, high standards and efficiency.
