Selling a French home from the United States or abroad means French capital gains tax withheld at closing, often an accredited tax representative, a file of mandatory diagnostics and a sale timeline set by the notaire. A clear guide for non-resident sellers.
San Francisco
Buyers of San Francisco apartment buildings pay for documented income, and rent control decides what that income can become. How buildings are valued, the records buyers will ask for, the city's rules on buyouts and reporting, transfer tax and how to prepare a sale.
French Riviera
Between Nice and Monaco, Villefranche's harbor village and the private peninsula of Cap Ferrat form the most exclusive stretch of the Riviera. What property costs in 2026, how the two compare, and the planning, upkeep and due-diligence questions that matter most at this level.
Monaco
Homes in Monaco average an estimated €57,569 per square meter; across the border, in France, the same budget buys several times the space. How Beausoleil, Cap-d'Ail and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin compare, what changes when you live in France rather than Monaco, and how to choose.
San Francisco
San Francisco is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own housing, weather, transit and pace. A buyer's guide to the main residential areas, from Pacific Heights and Noe Valley to the Richmond, the Sunset and the new condominium districts, and how to choose among them.
Paris
A Paris pied-à-terre is a second home, and Paris treats second homes differently: a 60% surcharge on the second-home taxe d'habitation, strict limits on holiday rentals and buildings that need managing from afar. What to know before you buy one.
French Riviera
Most French agents work for the seller. A buyer's agent, or property finder, works for you, under rules that are stricter than many buyers realize. How buyer representation works on the Riviera, what it costs, who pays, and how to choose well.
French Riviera
Cannes is the Riviera's stage: the Croisette, the festival, a busy social season and neighborhoods that range from palace apartments to quiet hillside homes. What property costs in 2026, how Cannes and Le Cannet compare, the rental rules and how to buy.
French Riviera
Antibes combines a walled old town, a great marina, Juan-les-Pins's beaches and the estates of Cap d'Antibes in one commune. What property costs in 2026, how the neighborhoods compare, the rental rules and how to buy.
