Owning and living in a home across borders.
International Living
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.
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.
Monaco
Monaco is small enough to walk across, yet its districts differ sharply in price, atmosphere and housing. A district-by-district guide for buyers, with the official 2025 price estimates and what each area offers day to day.
French Riviera
Riviera property can be a lifestyle asset, an income property or both, but 2026's rules on holiday rentals, energy ratings and taxes have changed the arithmetic. How to define the goal, choose the rental strategy, calculate a realistic yield and avoid the common mistakes.
Monaco
In Monaco, the notary verifies title, but many of the checks that protect a buyer are the buyer's own: the building's legal status, protected-sector rules, measured areas, parking lots, the purchasing structure and proof of funds. A practical checklist for 2026.
International Living
Monaco and France sit side by side but license real estate professionals differently. What a Monaco agency, a French agent, a notary and an international advisor each do, how to check who is authorized, and the questions to ask before you sign anything.
Monaco
A Monaco purchase typically takes two to three months from accepted offer to signed deed, and longer when financing, a company structure or residency planning is involved. A stage-by-stage guide to the process, the documents and what can slow it down.
Buying Guides
The purchase price and notaire fees are only the beginning. A clear guide to what owning a home in France costs every year in 2026, from taxe foncière and the second-home taxe d'habitation to co-ownership charges, villa upkeep, rental taxes and cross-border planning.
