Local roots,
personal guidance.

Xavier Alberini

Founder of French Riviera Experts

The French Riviera is where I grew up and where I chose to return in 2016. Since then, I have supported buyers with their property purchases here, guided by the belief that a successful purchase depends as much on choosing the right surroundings as on finding the right home.

Knowing an area also means understanding its way of life: neighbourhoods that remain lively throughout the year, schools, shops, local markets, travel times and everyday routines. This knowledge helps me guide you towards an address that suits how you want to live, whether you are looking for a main residence or a holiday home.

Over the years, I have built a network of local professionals, including notaries, tradespeople, gardeners, pool specialists and others who can help you settle in. Depending on your needs, I introduce you to the right people. This comprehensive approach connects your property search with the life you want to build here.

My experience in Paris, New York and Toronto has also shaped a structured approach that is attentive to buyers from different backgrounds. We work in French or English, with one point of contact from your initial search to completion.
