Buyer's Agent in Paris
Searching for an exceptional apartment in Paris on your own means moving forward without the codes, the right addresses, or access to properties that are never listed publicly. I become your ally on this ground: I take the time to get to know you, so I can search for exactly what suits you, across the entire Paris market, listed or confidential.

Why Work With a Buyer's Agent
I never represent a seller. My only mandate is yours: to find, evaluate and negotiate the property that suits you, across the entire Paris market, listed or confidential.
Nearly 8,700 properties above €1.2M are sold every year in France, and Paris accounts for close to a third of them. The challenge isn't access to a hidden market: it's knowing how to identify, within that abundance of properties, the high-end home that truly suits you, and carrying out the purchase under the right conditions.
Get in Touch"I'd rather say no to the wrong project than yes to just any property."
Privileged access to confidential properties, before they reach the public market, thanks to a network built over several years with notaries and property owners.
I filter, visit and select on your behalf.
A precise knowledge of price per square meter by neighborhood, to negotiate at the right price, not just the asking price.
Essential for clients exposed publicly or professionally.
Volumes, construction quality, architectural potential: I assess every property well beyond what a standard viewing reveals.
A First Step, Together
Five questions for an initial, refined starting point. This is only a beginning: the real answer will come from our conversation.
01
Passy, Auteuil, Trocadéro: families, private mansions, close to the Bois de Boulogne.
International prestige02
Avenue Montaigne, Parc Monceau: the most sought-after addresses in the capital.
The most iconic address03
Jewelry, haute couture, the Ritz Paris: the world's most recognized district for luxury and fashion.
One Advantage Among Others
My work starts with exhaustive coverage of every Paris agency and every listed property. On top of that, a network built with notaries and private owners gives me access to opportunities before they're publicly listed. A real advantage, one that complements a thorough search across the whole market, never replaces it.

A Profession, Not a Generality
A hunter who alternates between a studio in the 20th and a private mansion in the 8th cannot develop the same eye for both. Parisian luxury has its own codes.
In this segment, transactions are few and often confidential: a generalist network simply doesn't have access.
Telling a building designed by a recognized architect apart from a standard property in the same neighborhood requires specific expertise, not general market knowledge.
Discretion, responsiveness, architectural sensitivity: a discerning clientele expects someone who understands them immediately, without having to explain everything.
Your Point of Contact
L'Agence Hôte grew out of my luxury property concierge business, where I supported owners of exceptional properties in Paris. That closeness gave me the desire to dedicate myself fully to high-end Parisian real estate. Today, I work as an independent real estate consultant within the Evolys network.
My clients used to confide in me about far more than just managing their property. That same listening ear now serves your search.
I can tell a property designed by a recognized architect or built with fine materials apart from a standard property in the same neighborhood: original mouldings, ceiling height, quality of materials. These details are what truly define a property's value, well beyond its price per square meter.
Over ten years living in Paris, and a luxury concierge business that introduced me to its neighborhoods, codes and networks from the inside.
I never search for a property without first getting to know you, over coffee in Paris or a video call. One single point of contact, from our first conversation to the notary.
Get in TouchA real estate agency represents the seller. A buyer's agent exclusively defends the buyer's interests: search, selection, negotiation, through to signing. It's a fundamental difference in mandate, not just terminology.
A significant share of prestige properties in Paris are negotiated outside listing portals, through notaries, family offices or private owners. My network, built over the years, provides access to these opportunities before, or without, public listing.
My searches focus on the capital's most sought-after neighborhoods: the 16th arrondissement, the 7th, the 8th and the Golden Triangle, Place Vendôme, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the 17th, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Boulogne-Billancourt, Le Marais and Montmartre.
Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the 16th arrondissement are among the most sought-after areas for a wealth-focused investment, due to their low turnover. Beyond the raw figures from the DVF database (the public French property price register), a neighborhood's potential also depends on finer factors: quality of the building stock, upcoming projects like the Grand Paris Express, and genuine scarcity of supply. This is the analysis I refine with each client according to their project.
Yes, a significant share of my clients live abroad: expats, international investors, relocating executives. I simplify every step, including remote signing via notarial power of attorney when needed.
It depends on the area and how precise the criteria are, generally two to four months in the most sought-after neighborhoods. Off-market access often shortens this timeline compared to searching alone through public listings.
I don't present any property until a mandate has been signed between us. The buyer's agent profession is governed by the Loi Hoguet (French law n°70-9 of January 2, 1970) and requires a professional license (carte T). This framework guarantees genuinely confidential access, and a serious commitment for both of us.
A buyer's agent's fees in Paris generally range between 2% and 5% of the purchase price, or as a success-based flat fee depending on the services provided. My own fees are presented with full transparency from our first conversation, before any commitment on your part.
The Parisian luxury segment has its own codes: scarcity of transactions, seller discretion, specific architectural requirements. A generalist handling all budgets cannot develop the same network or the same eye as someone exclusively dedicated to this market.
Yes, everything always starts with a conversation, over coffee in Paris or a video call for clients abroad, with no obligation. This meeting lets me precisely understand what suits you.
First Conversation
Every search is unique. A first, no-obligation conversation, to understand your project and determine whether I can help.
