Why work with Advisors France
Group Track Record
How is Advisors France different
Most of our clients are experienced professionals or investors. They are not first-time buyers. They know what they want. They are not in France, they do not speak French fluently, and they do not have weeks to spend visiting properties, vetting contractors, or navigating a legal process conducted entirely in another language.
| Without an independent advisor | With Advisors France |
|---|---|
| Representation: Every agent you meet represents the seller, not you. | One advisor who represents you and nobody else. |
| Market access: Listings are abundant but limited to each agent. Verified information is not easy to come by. | Entire market scouted, including off-market. A shortlist built on price data, yield analysis, and verified legal status. |
| Investment analysis: Nobody models it for you. | Yield, capital appreciation, and renovation ROI modelled before you commit. |
| Viewings: Visiting every shortlisted property from abroad is not realistic. | We visit on your behalf, film, verify, and report. You decide remotely. |
| Renovation: Finding reliable architects, engineers, and contractors is genuinely difficult without local relationships. | We source and oversee the architect, engineers, and contractors. Budget and timeline held throughout. |
| Legal process: The process runs in French and moves at its own pace. | Coordinated through our licensed carte T expert and the notaire. You are not expected to manage it. |
| Momentum: Decisions get delayed, or get made on incomplete information. | The process moves. You stay informed. |
| Language: French only. | English and French, equal depth in both. |
| Remote clients: They expect you in the country. | Built entirely for buyers who are not in France. |
| Negotiation: Conflicted. Paid by the seller. | Independent, no emotional bias, on your side. |
How does the process work from start to finish
One coordinated process, not a folder of loose tasks. We manage the search, the analysis, the negotiation, and the renovation, working alongside a licensed carte T expert and the notaire who own the regulated legal steps. Roles are clear from day one.
Who founded Advisors France
Advisors France is a founder-led boutique backed by senior consultants and independent licensed experts. Every client works with a single dedicated advisor who coordinates the full process. No call centres. No departmental handoffs.
Born in Brazil to a Serbian diplomatic family, Sasha has called 14 countries home across four continents. After a career at global multinationals in beverage, cosmetics, and technology, he settled in Lisbon and became a Portuguese citizen.
That experience navigating relocation, compliance, and cross-border bureaucracy led to the group’s advisory practice, which since 2019 has guided over 4,600 families through residency-by-investment across Portugal and Greece.
Sasha holds an Executive MBA from Loyola Marymount University and speaks five languages.
Is this right for you
This service is built for a specific type of buyer. We will tell you on the first call whether it fits your situation, not after you have committed.
| GOOD FIT FOR | NOT THE RIGHT FIT FOR |
|---|---|
| You want to invest in or purchase French real estate from abroad and cannot manage the process yourself. | You are looking for the cheapest option regardless of advisory quality. |
| You want an independent buyer's agent who searches the entire market, not a selection shaped by agency relationships. | You want to skip due diligence and move quickly on instinct. |
| You value due diligence and data-driven decisions over speed and impulse. | You expect guaranteed returns on a property investment. |
| You want the renovation managed end to end, not just recommended. | You prefer to work with multiple selling agents. |
| You want a bilingual team that handles the entire process remotely on your behalf. |
Why does smart capital choose Marseille for real estate investment
Marseille sits at a specific intersection that is rare in Western Europe: entry prices well below the French Riviera and comparable coastal Spanish and Italian cities, combined with gross rental yields of 5 to 5.5% citywide, reaching 7 to 8% in the right arrondissements on the right asset type, and a committed urban regeneration programme of over €7 billion actively compressing the gap between current prices and long-term asset values.
Within Marseille, returns vary sharply by location, asset type, and stage of regeneration. The arrondissements below are where we focus our sourcing and where the investment thesis is strongest. Each zone represents a distinct risk-return profile, from high-yield entry points in active regeneration corridors to premium addresses where capital preservation and lifestyle overlap.
