AFTER PARIS, MARSEILLE

In April 2024, one year to the day after the launch of Off Real Estate - exceptional and off-market real estate in Paris -, its founder Sandrine Diouf, born in the Phocaean City, inaugurated the agency in Marseille

Following 25 years in top-notch real estate in the capital, this true professional embarked upon her own entrepeneurial adventure. Her favourite sectors in Paris are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 16th arrondissements.

Much more than a profession, she has a driving passion for these high-end addresses : Rue de Verneuil, Rue Saint-Honoré, Place Vendôme, Place du Trocadéro, and Avenue Montaigne with its view of the Eiffel Tower, a spot that can attain 70,000 € per sq.m. Le Marais wins all the votes for its age-old stone, terraces and intimate gardens. Luxury means rarity, and rarity sets the price. National and international clients, affluent and knowledgeable, are motivated by the “safe haven” value of an acquisition in Paris, its financial and political stability, its art, culture, architecture and history. No irrational or impulse buying, but rather a blue-chip investment.

Activity in the Phocaean City is so buoyant that Sandrine Diouf is currently recruiting negotiators. Off Real Estate - Immobilier d’exception et off-market, 6 avenue du Colonel Serot, 13007 Marseille (04 91 36 40 29). 17 rue du Gros Caillou, 75007 Paris (06 34 30 72 34).

On the strength of partnerships in New York and Asia, Sandrine Diouf is actively searching for four apartments in the same building for an American buyer. Among her most recent transactions, she mentions a property of 160 m2 on Rue de Grenelle, extended by a terrace of 25 m2 with a view of Paris and its landmarks. Reassured by the presence of 24/7 guardians, a European buyer paid 5 million euros up front. A Monégasque client then treated himself to an apartment of 90 m2 in perfect condition, facing the Elysée Palace on a top-security street, paying 20,000 € per sq.m.

The “turnkey property” is seeing real success on condition that quality is on the cards and the price makes sense, though renovation enables the buyer to make it his very own. Inauguration of the agency in Marseille forms part of a logical process, firstly to meet demand from Parisians looking for a new life, for relocation of a company or up-coming retirement in the sun, then that of a wider clientele falling for the charm of Le Panier, Le Roucas-Blanc, Les Goudes, the 6th, 7th and 8th arrondissements, a unique property such as a house right at the water’s edge priced at 30,000 € per sq.m.
