Top Real Estate Agents in Paris, France

Who are the best real estate agents in Paris, France ? As more than 8% of the buyers in Paris are foreigners, that question is not trivial at all. Indeed, many foreign buyers are going to wonder who they should buy (or sell) with. Even more so as the leading real estate agencies in Paris are not very well known abroad. If you’re American for example, know that you won’t find The Corcoran Group or Compass here in Paris.

So here below is a list of the best realtors, brokers, estate agents, whichever word you prefer.

Top 14 Real Estate Agents

Out of the 1100 real estate agencies that you can find in Paris, some of the best are:

  1. Daniel Feau – Christie’s International Real Estate
  2. BARNES International Realty
  3. Junot Immobilier
  4. Vaneau Luxury Real Estate
  5. Sotheby’s International Realty
  6. Engel & Völkers
  7. Century21
  8. Laforêt
  9. ORPI
  10. Stephane Plaza
  11. Moriss Immobilier
  12. Connexion Immobilier
  13. Réseau Immobilier l’Adresse
  14. ERA Immobilier France

And many more of course. But the 14 real estate agencies we just mentioned are definitely some of the best names in Paris.

If you’re interested in Luxury properties specifically, consider the first 2 names (Daniel Feau, BARNES International Realty), and to extend it a bit further the first 6 names (including Junot, Vaneau, Sotheby’s International Realty, and Engel & Völkers). However this does not mean that you should disregard the others, because the real estate market is very fragmented in France, with more than 1,100 real estate agencies in Paris alone.

Out of these, the first 3 websites are 3 of the leading property portals in France (full ranking here) but are in French, and the 4th is multilingual and offers a great search experience, as well as a higher proportion of English-speaking real estate agents. So, try the 4 websites, that’s probably the best way to go.

Company presentations

Daniel Féau

Daniel Féau is my number one suggestion if you want to buy a property in Paris. Although I could try to describe why with my own words, I find that the presentation of their services on their own website will serve you better: “Daniel Féau is by far the major player in the sale and acquisition of prestigious apartments, private homes and Hotels Particuliers in Paris and its desirable western suburbs. In our neighbourhoods our agencies conclude one in three sales at prices of between 2 and 5 million euro, and over half of the sales at prices exceeding 5 million euro. We also sell between 600 and 700 apartments each year at prices ranging from 500 000 to 2 million euro.”

BARNES International Realty

While we are speaking about luxury apartments and exclusive properties for sale in Paris, we must mention BARNES International Realty. If you’re looking to sell an apartment or a house in Paris, BARNES might very well be in your short-list of real estate agencies to work with.

Junot Immobilier

Junot is a family group founded in 1984, often considered as one of the best real estate agencies in Paris: “Junot sells a property every day and has 300 million euros of assets under management, from the studio to the Hotel Particulier.”

Vaneau Luxury Real Estate

Vaneau is a network of 13 agencies to help you buy or sell real estate in Paris (out of 1,100 Real Estate Agencies in Paris).

Sotheby’s International Realty

Sotheby’s International Realty does not need an introduction, because the brand is famous globally, thanks to its 900 real estate agencies. In Paris, Sotheby’s International Realty offers currently 227 properties for sale (November 2020). Might one of them be your next home?
