Exceptional property, in trusted hands.
In a city you don't know well, the hardest part isn't finding agents. It's knowing which one is truly right for your project. I spent ten years in prime and ultra-prime real estate between Paris and London, then lived in several European cities: today my network reaches well beyond them. I introduce you only to professionals I know personally, whose way of working I have seen and whose ethics I respect.

Three steps, one trusted point of contact.
You share your project
Buying or selling, the city, your expectations. A few lines are enough to begin.
I call you back within 24 hours
A personal conversation to understand your situation, your priorities and the kind of support that suits you.
I introduce you to the right person
With your consent, a direct and personal introduction to the person I believe is best for you. I explain why I am thinking of them, then we take stock together after your first conversation.
Ten years at the heart of prime real estate.
For ten years, I guided the purchase and sale of exceptional properties between Paris and London. Many ultra-prime transactions, some of them above €50 million: it is a world I know from the inside. I have lived in several countries, and I know what a property project far from familiar ground involves: high stakes, markets with their own codes, and the need to rely on the people around you.
My work has evolved since, but one thing hasn't changed: people still regularly ask for my view on buying or selling, in Paris, London, Amsterdam and beyond, and who they should turn to. My current work also keeps me in regular contact with real estate agents across these markets. So I chose to give these recommendations a more structured, more serious framework: that is how The Inside Door was born.
I don't recommend agencies. I recommend people.
Some properties are not bought or sold like any other. They call for a culture, codes and a way of working that not everyone masters: discretion, access to off-market properties, an understanding of a demanding international clientele. But an agent who looks brilliant on paper is not necessarily the right one for you: I introduce you to the person who best fits your project.
I choose agents who understand every facet of a sale or a purchase. A family home, for example, is not just an asset: it is also an emotional heritage. They are also true negotiators, responsive, who know how to make things happen.
Those who know me know that, for me, ethics are non-negotiable. And it is often exactly what people look for when they entrust their home or their search: straightforward people, with great energy, who share the same values. People you trust, and with whom there is that little click.
I know them personally
I have worked with most of them, and I have known the others for a long time. I know how they negotiate, how they communicate and how they treat their clients. And I regularly review each of them before continuing to recommend them.
The client before the transaction
They have that rare awareness of truly serving your project: understanding your needs, your search or your property, and advising you with sound judgement.
Discretion as a given
Off-market properties, personal situations, sensitive timelines: your project is handled with the confidentiality it deserves, at every stage.
“In real estate, security doesn't come from the contract alone. It comes from the people.”
What I look at before recommending anyone.
My intuition matters, but it is never enough. Before introducing a professional, I rely on precise criteria, on what I have seen of the way they work, and on up-to-date checks. My network is only valuable if my standard stays more important than its size.
Ethics
Transparency, honesty, no unnecessary pressure.
Local expertise
Real knowledge of the neighbourhood and market in question.
Relevant experience
Transactions comparable to yours, not just volume.
Discretion
Respect for your information and the level of confidentiality you ask for.
Communication
Knowing how to listen, explain, respond, and speak frankly.
Negotiation
Judgement, preparation, and the ability to defend your interests.
Energy and mindset
Good energy, the right mindset, and a way of seeing things and working that suits you.
Reputation and compliance
Up-to-date references, and rules checked in each country.
And if I don't yet have the right person, I tell you.
I would rather tell you that I don't yet have anyone I can recommend with the conviction I require, than give you a name simply to cover a city. That is what protects the value of every introduction.
Two ways to support you.
Whether you simply wish to be introduced to the right person or would like a trusted perspective throughout your project, I always work alongside a local agent from my network.

Beyond agents, your whole project.
Buying or selling an exceptional property calls on other expertise. My address book also includes trusted professionals I can introduce you to, with the same care and always with your consent.
Notaries
To secure the deed, the transfer and purchases by non-residents.
Lawyers
For contracts, international tax and inheritance.
Architects
To renovate, extend or reinvent a property before or after the purchase.
Financing
Brokers and banks, to find the right financing for your project.
Where my network awaits you.
In each of these cities, I have an extensive address book at every level of the market: prime, luxury and ultra-prime, where the rarest properties change hands, often off-market. For buying as well as selling, I choose the right person for you based on the person you are, your personality, your needs and your expectations, as well as your budget, the neighbourhood and the type of property you are looking for or selling. Because I have the right agent for every type of project, my introductions have a high success rate.
Further destinations are added one trusted relationship at a time, never just to cover a city. Is your project elsewhere? Let's talk: if I know the right person, I will introduce you. If not, I will simply tell you.
