Property advisory on the French Riviera

Scandinavian rigour applied to the French property market, for buyers and sellers, French and international alike.

An advisory agency, small by design

Buying or selling property in France as an international client should feel clear, not overwhelming. Most people I work with arrive somewhere in between two unsatisfying options: traditional French agencies that don't quite understand the international perspective, and large luxury brokerages that prioritise transaction volume over the relationship.

Forsman & Hey sits deliberately in the middle. We're a boutique property advisory based in Mougins, above Cannes, working with discerning French and international clients who want competence over glamour, and someone genuinely on their side through what is often a complex, high-value decision.

What that looks like in practice

  1. 01

    A trust-based advisory relationship rather than a transactional one.

  2. 02

    Careful listening before any search: your priorities decide which properties we show you.

  3. 03

    Clear guidance through the French legal and notarial process.

  4. 04

    Honest counsel when a property isn't right, even when it would close a deal.

  5. 05

    Discretion at every stage, about your situation as much as about the properties we never advertise.

Entirely satisfied with this professional relationship

Susanne contacted me after my enquiry about a property. In our first conversation she sought to understand exactly what I was looking for, why I was buying and how I would live there. That put me at ease immediately, and I signed an exclusive search agreement with her. Living abroad, viewings had to be organised efficiently, and they were. My final purchase differed from my initial brief: she found my corner of paradise by reading my reactions during the viewings correctly.

Exemplary service throughout

Everything was planned and carried out as agreed. Thanks to Susanne we sold our former house and bought the new one in a short time and within the agreed price range. Advice, listening, availability, respect for people and for commitments: Susanne adds a personal touch and puts her clients at ease. For the sale, her international network brought us viewings from buyers of several nationalities.
