What Proprietes Parisiennes Sotheby's International Realty does

Proprietes Parisiennes Sotheby's International Realty is a Paris-based luxury residential real estate brokerage structured as a French SAS and operating as the exclusive Sotheby's International Realty affiliate for Paris. Founded around 2004-2005 under the leadership of Pascale Constans (Gérant) and Fabrice Le Ruyet (Founding Partner), the firm runs four physical branch offices spanning the 6th (Saint Sulpice), 7th (Bac), 8th (Faubourg Saint-Honoré headquarters), and 9th (Trudaine) arrondissements, with branch management including Iryna Kakura. Its core offering is brokerage for the sale and rental of high-end apartments, penthouses, and hôtels particuliers across Paris's most prestigious districts (1st, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 16th, and the Left/Right Bank luxury corridors).

The company's product surface centers on three service lines: luxury property sales, luxury rentals (monthly rents from €4,200 to €45,000 per the input), and lifestyle-curated property search. Adjacent offerings include property valuation, a New Developments Program for newly built stock, and a digital Style Magazine distributed via Issuu. Underlying technology is a standard real estate listing portal with property search, virtual tours, and contact management, integrated with the Sotheby's International Realty global brand ecosystem and supported by standard third-party integrations (Google reCAPTCHA, Google Maps).

Revenue is transaction-based. The firm earns commissions on luxury property sales — up to 5% TTC for properties above €200,000 and up to 12% TTC below €200,000 — charged to either buyer or seller. On the rental side, fees include €12 TTC/m² for tenant file preparation and lease drafting, €3 TTC/m² for inventory, and 12% TTC of annual rent for landlord property management. Customer segments are HNW individuals seeking primary residences, pieds-à-terre, and investment properties, and a secondary segment of professional expats and diplomats needing furnished short-term rentals. Distribution leverages the Sotheby's network of 73 agencies across France and Monaco and over 1,110 worldwide, channeling international UHNW referrals into the Paris office, combined with high-touch direct field sales through the four branch locations.
