I'm the person in your corner in Paris — a connector, not a listings search engine. If your dream property isn't already within my reach, I very likely know who has it.
See how it works ↓I represent you, not the seller — and I bring the network built over a decade in this market to bear on your search.
Still LookingI'll get a real sense of what you're after, then go to work — my own listings first, and my network of agents across the city if the right place isn't mine to show you.
Let's start the search →
Already Found SomethingOne honest conversation — no funnel, no obligation to work with me afterward. Just a straight read on the property before you commit to anything.

I'm Icelandic, raised in the UK, and I moved to Paris in 2014 — I work in English, French, and Icelandic. I remember exactly what it's like not to know which notary to trust, which arrondissement actually suits you, or whether the number someone just quoted you is fair.
People come to me with a dream and not much else — “I want a slice of Paris” — and I turn it into a plan: the property, the paperwork, the timeline, and the parts of this city that don’t show up in a listing.
I head Leggett Immobilier's Paris office, was ranked in the Top 5 performers across the entire Leggett network in 2025, and I'm usually why the Financial Times calls when they want the real read on the market rather than the headline average.
Whoever you end up speaking with day to day, they work the same way I do: independent, responsive, and focused entirely on you.
Not every seller wants the same thing. Some want to test the waters quietly; others want maximum exposure from day one. I work both ways — and I'll tell you honestly which one fits your property and timeline.
Present your home directly to my active, qualified Central Paris buyer network — no public listing, price history, or photos circulating online.
Explore an off-market sale →Leggett International and Hamptons International reach French buyers and the international market simultaneously, in English and French.
Talk through a full listing →I know exactly who to call. Over years in Paris, I’ve built a network of people I trust completely. My network is your network.
Not everyone needs a search from scratch. If you've found a property and want an honest read before you commit, that's a different conversation — and a shorter one.
One call. No funnel, no pressure to work with me afterward.
I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a good deal, what’s missing, and what I’d ask the seller.
If it’s not me you need for the next step, I’ll point you to who is.
But you already know I don't stop at the file. This is the formal list; the network above is the rest of it.
My own listings, plus off-market access through the agents I know across the city.
Negotiation, due diligence, and notary coordination handled end to end, in French and English.
Trusted partners for ownership structure, tax exposure, and residency questions before you commit.
Introductions to lenders who work with non-resident buyers, with terms explained plainly.
For clients who won't live in Paris year-round, a calm hand managing tenants and upkeep.
Guidance connecting your purchase to a broader plan to live, work, or retire in France.
Not everyone reaching out is mid-search. If you're still just dreaming about a place here, these are the questions I get asked first.
No — owning property doesn't extend how long you can legally stay in France. As a US citizen, you're still limited to 90 days within any 180-day period under the Schengen rule unless you hold a visa.
Someone needs to check on it, forward your mail, turn the heat on before you land, and be the first call if a pipe bursts in February. That's exactly what my local concierge network handles.
Maybe — but never assume it. Short-term rental is heavily regulated in Paris, and a specific apartment may need a change-of-use authorisation.
Co-ownership charges, property tax and insurance depend entirely on the building. I'd rather walk you through actual figures on a specific apartment.
France has forced heirship rules that can override an American will. I work with specialists on both sides of the Atlantic and will bring you to them early.
Yes, more often than you’d think. Between visits, I run video walkthroughs so your one trip is spent on the apartments worth seeing in person.
Whether you're buying, selling, or just starting to think about either, there's no pressure and no funnel — just an honest read on where you stand.
