A small selection
Recent Addresses
We complete between sixty and ninety acquisitions per year for our American clients, and each address has its own story. Below, five recent acquisitions, presented with the consent of the buyers (some details anonymized to protect their privacy). They give a sense of the range of what we do and the kind of Paris life each address makes possible.
Address No. 1,247 — Rue de Verneuil, 7th arrondissement
Acquired: Spring 2026. Buyers: family of four, based in New York. Apartment: 126 sqm (1,356 sqft), third floor, two bedrooms plus library.
The buyers had walked the rue de Verneuil during a Paris trip in 2018, on a cold January morning, on their way to breakfast at a café that no longer exists. The street stayed with them. When they reached out to us five years later, they did not know they wanted that exact street, but as we worked through the search, it kept reappearing in the conversation.
The address came to us off-market, through a notaire in our network, three weeks before it would have been publicly listed. We negotiated 4% below the seller's expectation, coordinated the diagnostics review remotely, and the buyers signed in Paris on a single short trip. They received their keys six weeks later.
The wife is writing a novel set partially in this neighborhood. She tells us the address has become a character in the book.
Address No. 1,235 — Avenue Foch, 16th arrondissement
Acquired: Winter 2026. Buyers: family of three, based in Los Angeles. Apartment: 170 sqm (1,829 sqft), top floor, three bedrooms with terrace.
The buyers were relocating part-time to Paris around the husband's role at a French luxury house. They needed space for their daughter (age 9), proximity to the École Active Bilingue, and a terrace large enough for entertaining. The 16th, west part, was the obvious zone, but few addresses combined all three requirements.
Catherine Ziegler (our senior hunter on this acquisition) tracked an address that had been off the market for eight months, owned by a French family selling discreetly to relocate to the south. We approached them privately, negotiated 200,000 euros below their initial expectation, and closed in seven weeks.
The terrace catches afternoon light from October through April. The daughter walks to school. The husband has not regretted the decision once.
Address No. 1,221 — Rue de la Paix, 2nd arrondissement
Acquired: Autumn 2025. Buyer: single buyer, based in San Francisco. Apartment: 85 sqm (914 sqft), fourth floor, one large bedroom plus office.
A pied-à-terre acquisition for a tech executive who comes to Paris four to six weeks per year and rents the apartment furnished the rest of the year through licensed short-term channels. The 2nd arrondissement was chosen for proximity to the Place Vendôme, the Opéra, and the headquarters of his European partners.
We coordinated a complete furnishing project after closing, in partnership with a French interior architect, so that the apartment was rental-ready within three months of the keys. The address has been booked for 38 of the 44 weeks since.
Address No. 1,212 — Place Dauphine, 1st arrondissement
Acquired: Summer 2025. Buyers: couple, retired, based in Charleston. Apartment: 67 sqm (721 sqft), second floor, one bedroom.
A small, perfect address on one of the most poetic squares in Paris. The buyers had visited the Place Dauphine twenty-five years ago on their honeymoon and had quietly told each other, then, that they would one day own here.
They reached out to us in 2023. The first viable address on the square came up eighteen months later. They flew over for a single weekend, saw it, signed the offer letter the same evening, and closed by procuration three months later.
They now spend three months per year in Paris and rent the address to trusted friends and family during the other nine.
Address No. 1,198 — Rue Cler, 7th arrondissement
Acquired: Spring 2025. Buyers: family, three generations involved in the decision, based in Boston. Apartment: 145 sqm (1,560 sqft), second floor with one balcony.
A family acquisition with strong intergenerational dynamics. The grandparents had spent a sabbatical year in this neighborhood in the early 1980s and had always promised themselves to return. Their adult children wanted to honor that promise but also wanted an address that would work for their own young children visiting over school breaks.
The rue Cler, the celebrated market street in the 7th, offered exactly that intersection: the nostalgic neighborhood for the grandparents, the family-friendly atmosphere for the next two generations. We found an address on a quiet side street, fifty meters from the market, with the original 1900 moldings and parquet still intact.
The family of three generations gathered at the address for the first time during the summer of 2025. The grandfather, who is 81, said it felt like he had never left.
