“We have doubled our turnover each year. Our clients, 90 % French, already live in Paris and the provinces, and are looking to treat themselves. They also enjoy the freedom to live wherever they want. With the pandemic and teleworking, this lifestyle has seen extensive development, and real estate is a safe haven more than ever before”. And while the catalogue of properties is the main strength of Espaces Atypiques, its services also make a big difference : “We developed the “Chasse immobilière” service to assist clients who have no time to look for a property.

In 2020, we also introduced a search service proposing over 700 remarkable properties for film shoots and special events. This summer we will introduce seasonal rentals in three highly-prized spots : Deauville, L’Ile de Ré and the island of Oléron. Finally, we have created the Espaces Atypiques Club, accessible to all our exclusive clients. It is a conciergerie service offering all our members an array of trusted partners with enticing advantages and privileges (removal firms, architects, brokers, design brands, but also travel, outings, leisure activities...)”.
