Realtor on the Riviera
Perspectives on property, place, and the markets connecting San Francisco, France, and Monaco.
Market intelligence, buying guides, and considered insights for clients navigating real estate across borders.
Step-by-step guidance for buying property, at home and abroad.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
French Riviera
Nice is the Riviera's only true city, and its neighborhoods differ as much as its prices. What apartments and houses cost in 2026, how the main districts compare, Nice's own rules on holiday rentals, and how a purchase works for international buyers.
Paris
Paris's 20 arrondissements range from about €8,200 to more than €15,000 per square meter, and from postcard addresses to lively neighborhoods with more space for the budget. How they compare, who each suits, and how to choose.
Monaco
Buying property in Monaco does not make you a resident. A practical guide to the residence permit: who needs one, the accommodation, financial and character requirements, the steps and card types, taxes, and how property fits in.
