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

​

When I decided to buy an apartment in Paris from abroad in 2002, I faced a huge challenge. Without someone in Paris to guide me through the entire property buying process, what should have been an exciting milestone became frustrating.

​

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

​

Making Your Parisian Dream a Reality

As an independent buyer’s agent in Paris, I help my clients find their perfect apartment, without the hassle. I guide you every step of the buying process: financing, legal and tax matters, and even help with interior designers, contractors, or property managers if needed.

​

Expertise You Can Trust

With a background as a lawyer in international business, compliance, and anti-fraud, I have a keen eye for potential legal issues and can get straight to the heart of any matter. As your advocate, I work exclusively in your best interest, ensuring your purchase is safe and smart.

​

Thanks to my negotiating skills and local knowledge of the Paris property market, you can secure the best property at the right price, in the shortest time. With no portfolio of properties to sell, and although there is no MLS in France, I have full freedom to search across multiple agency listings, off-market opportunities, and even contact owners directly.

​

Bicultural Advantage

Being bicultural, I understand both American and French nuances. You can trust that you are in good hands, avoiding misunderstandings and missed opportunities.
