Buying in Paris
Everything an American or international buyer needs to acquire in Paris — the process, the questions, and a transatlantic team on your side, from first call to keys in hand.
How It Works
Buying abroad should feel calm, not chaotic. Five steps, fully managed — most clients complete their first three steps without leaving home.
A private conversation to understand your goals, budget, neighborhoods and timeline — in English, with no obligation.
We hand-select properties that match your brief, including discreet listings never published online.
We tour each property for you with live video walkthroughs, or accompany you on a curated visit to Paris.
We negotiate hard on price and terms, vet the building, the syndic and the paperwork, and protect your interests at every line.
We coordinate the notaire, the funds transfer and the handover — then stay on for setup, renovation or rental.
For American Buyers
Buying in France is more accessible than most Americans expect — once someone who knows both systems is in your corner. Here are the questions we hear most.
Yes. France places no restrictions on foreign buyers — Americans can own property outright, with the same rights as residents. You do not need French residency or citizenship to purchase.
French banks regularly lend to non-resident Americans, often at fixed rates that surprise US buyers. We introduce you to lenders and brokers experienced with cross-border files and US income.
A neutral, state-appointed notaire secures the transaction for both sides. After an accepted offer you sign a preliminary contract, enjoy a cooling-off period, then complete at the final deed. We translate and explain every step.
We coordinate with cross-border tax specialists so your French purchase is structured cleanly alongside your US obligations — covering ownership structure, rental income and eventual resale.
Many of our clients buy without flying over until the keys are ready. Live video viewings, a notarized power of attorney and secure digital signatures let you purchase confidently from anywhere in the US.
