I am a French-American lawyer, born and raised in Paris. While in New York where I lived for 16 years, I graduated from college, law school, then I worked as in-house counsel.

​

When I planned on moving to Paris in 2002, it was a huge challenge to find a Parisian apartment to purchase from abroad. The difficulty was due to not having someone in Paris who could help me through the entire buying process from where I lived. So what was supposed to be a major thrill in my life turned out to be somewhat frustrating.

​

Fortunately, I eventually found my dream home. I have also invested in several properties in France. I have lived in the Latin Quarter with my husband and daughter for over 10 years.

 

As a buyer's agent, I have made my clients' Parisian dreams come true... but without the hassle!

​

As your buyer's agent, I will fully support you every step of the buying process. I will walk you through the financing, immigration and tax issues, help you hire interior designers, contractors, property managers if needed.

​

As a lawyer, formerly in international business, compliance and anti-fraud, I have experience spotting potential problems, legalities and getting straight to the heart of the matter. I will be your advocate, working exclusively in your best interest.

 

Thanks to my negotiating skills and local knowledge of the Parisian property market and neighborhoods, you are sure to make the best purchase, at the lowest price, in the least amount of time. With no portfolio of properties to sell, I have total freedom to search for properties across multiple real estate agency listings, off-market properties, and even by directly contacting property owners. 

​

Because I am bicultural and I know both the American and the French cultural nuances, you can trust that you are in good hands and that I can avoid misunderstandings and missed opportunities.
