INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE ADVISORY

Paris · Provence · Mediterranean

Real estate is a transaction.
The decision behind it is a matter of advice.

NICOLSON advises private clients, families, entrepreneurs and investors on the acquisition and sale of distinctive real estate in Paris and the South of France.

Our approach combines market knowledge, analysis, strategy, negotiation and transaction execution, with one objective: helping our clients make the right real estate decision.

1/ BUY

Find the right property. Make the right decision.

Finding a property is only part of the process.

NICOLSON advises buyers throughout their acquisition: defining the search, accessing a broader market, analysing opportunities, assessing value, negotiating and bringing together the expertise required before completion.

Our search is never limited to our own portfolio. We actively collaborate with other real estate professionals whenever they hold the right property.

For international clients, we also bridge the gap between their expectations and the particularities of completing a real estate transaction in France.

One adviser. A wider market.

2/ SELL

A strategy, not simply a listing.

Every property has its own value, its own market and its own potential buyer.

Before bringing a property to market, we seek to understand what makes it distinctive and define the strategy most likely to preserve and defend its value.

Presentation, positioning, exposure, Private Market, professional collaboration, negotiation: every decision is made according to the property.

We favour exclusive instructions while remaining deliberately open to selected collaborations and, where relevant, co-exclusive strategies.

Every property deserves its own strategy.

3/ HOSPITALITY

From real estate opportunity to hospitality investment.

A hotel or serviced hospitality project is both a real estate asset and an operating business.

NICOLSON advises entrepreneurs, private investors and family offices on the sourcing and acquisition of hospitality opportunities, from initial analysis and negotiation through due diligence coordination and completion.

We bring together the relevant legal, financial, technical, tax and operational expertise while retaining the overall real estate and commercial perspective throughout the transaction.

For investors, hospitality can combine operating returns, real estate value creation and, when appropriately structured, attractive long-term tax and wealth-planning opportunities.

One transaction. Multiple areas of expertise. One real estate and commercial adviser.

4/ PRIVATE MARKET

Some properties deserve a more discreet approach.

Not every property should be publicly exposed.

Our Private Market allows selected properties and acquisition opportunities to be introduced confidentially to identified buyers, investors and professional partners.

For sellers, it can preserve discretion and control exposure.

For buyers, it provides access to opportunities that may never appear on the open market.

Discretion is not the absence of a strategy. It is a strategy in itself.

ACCESS PRIVATE MARKET

5/ PARIS & THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

Two territories. One approach.

In Paris, we advise on family apartments, pieds-à-terre, private mansions and properties where address, architecture and scarcity define value.

In the South of France, our work extends from Provence to the Mediterranean coast: villas, waterfront properties, family estates, vineyards and hospitality opportunities where location, land, views and potential create a different form of rarity.

We are deliberately not confined to a single neighbourhood or micro-market.

We look for distinctive places, wherever the right opportunity may be.

6/ INDEPENDENT BY CHOICE

NICOLSON was founded in 2017 around a simple principle: independence creates freedom of advice.

We deliberately undertake a limited number of assignments, allowing direct involvement from the initial analysis through to negotiation and completion.

When a project requires additional expertise, we bring together the appropriate professionals — real estate specialists, notaries, lawyers, architects, tax advisers, private banks, family offices and hospitality professionals.

The objective is not to have every expertise in-house. It is to bring the right expertise around the table.

7/ TRUST BUILT THROUGH REFERRALS

of our assignments come through referrals.
