My husband and I contacted Delphine to help us relocate to Paris with our daughter after 8 years of expatriation!
She went above and beyond and helped us navigate the various agencies and manage the administrative hurdles.
She is used to working with expatriates who do not have the typical paperwork required by real estate agencies. Her connections and way of presenting our application made the difference and we found our dream apartment.
Her assistance doesn’t stop there! She also handled utilities connection and coordinated cleaning services for us.
She is organized, very responsive and truly dedicated to her clients. She uses modern tools to shortlist the apartments, set up the visits and follow up with us and the different agencies.
I will recommend her services to anyone wanting to move to Paris! The City of Lights has many hidden gems, and Delphine is one of them!

When living in a foreign country and even despite having a strong grasp of the language, certain tasks require the help of someone’s expertise. Recently in applying for jobs in french, I was required to write cover letters to my CV and follow up emails. It was very important that these documents came across as professional and well written. Delphine’s help was invaluable in these instances as I was able to send over a text in english and she provided an exceptional translation. Her grasp and depth of her written and spoken english make her ability to fluently translate into any text a massive help. Couple this with her genuine support in what you are doing and it minimizes the stress instantly. I can not recommend Delphine’s help enough.

Delphine is like a breath of fresh air. She is extremely dedicated to her clients and truly wants the best for them. I needed urgent help with finding an apartment and she took the lead in a way that I didn’t have to stress or worry anymore. She was quick to answer my questions, she provided information clearly as agreed, she was structured and communicative, as well as very friendly on my sometimes unrealistic expectations so that I would have the best knowledge I needed on the Parisian market. She’s fluent in English and being French herself she understands and knows how the system and admin in France works.
It took for her 8 days to find my home for me. And that’s what she does, she finds a home, not just any apartment. I absolutely warmly recommend her services.
