Emile Garcin Biarritz : a top-notch reference for luxury real estate
Based in Biarritz since 2001, the Emile Garcin agency is one of the pillars of the prestige property market. A pioneer in this region, encompassing the Basque country and Les Landes, this agency of international renown casts its esthetic eye over a market undergoing significant evolution. Encounter with Philippe Chevalier, at the helm of its reorganization...
United by a shared vision of real estate and a passion for beautiful homes, the Emile Garcin agencies - the first of which was founded in 1963 in Saint Rémy de Provence - enjoy an excellent reputation both in France and internationally. Close to the Hôtel du Palais, the agency in Biarritz holds a strategic position within this family firm : “The Biarritz agency was opened just after those in Paris and Deauville, 16 years ago. It is one of the pioneers in the group, which now has 30 branches worldwide. Our clients regard the years spent here as a guarantee of expertise, which warrants their trust,” explains Philippe Chevalier, General Manager of Emile Garcin Paris, currently overseeing the restructuring of the agency here in Biarritz. “An agency goes through different cycles, the market evolves, and internal reorganization enables us to address it more effectively. Today, the agency in Biarritz is run by a team of eight, five in charge of sales, one handling rentals, and two assistants.” On the Basque coast, as elsewhere, Emile Garcin has positioned itself at the top end of the market : “If you exclude exceptional properties, most of today’s transactions involve budgets of 1 to 1.5 million euros. Sales of properties worth 3 to 8 million euros are rare, compared to the Provence Côte d’Azur region. Even so, the market on the Basque coast and in Les Landes is very buoyant. The region is, in fact, widely appreciated for its lifestyle, and demand is very steady. Our French and international clients are particularly drawn by its authenticity, nature and peacefulness”.
