Agence Rue Madame : real estate in feminine mode

Located near the Luxembourg Gardens in the smart 6th arrondissement, the Agence Rue Madame is run by two highly motivated young women who have combined their talents and their passion for real estate. Offering in-depth knowledge of the Parisian market and proven expertise in their field, Caroline Plassat and Marie de Poncins have made an entrance on the top end of the market that has not gone unnoticed.

Occupying the former premises of a florist’s shop, the Agence Rue Madame is a lovely setting of 45 m2 in which exposed beams, wall-paper, elegant furnishings and a lounge area provide a warm and cosy ambiance. Caroline Plassat and Marie de Poncins designate trust as the foundation on which they build their client relationships : “We put all our heart into our work and assisting our clients. Our networks and our knowledge of the market in Paris enable us to respond quickly and efficiently in our dealings, and our complementary personalities are a real asset in this line of work,” says Caroline Plassat. Based on rigour, responsiveness, but also a deep-seated taste for the good things in life, the Agence Rue Madame carefully selects high-end properties on the Left and Right Banks. “It is not a high price that determines a property’s quality, but an address, a soul, architecture,” adds Marie de Poncins. Attracting a clientele mostly comprised of French families, the agency has been a great success since it opened. Its two founders stress the growing appeal of the capital : “Prices are rising for impeccable apartments and, despite the Loi Allure which has complicated procedures, we are seeing growing demand. Furthermore, interest rates are still low, making the property market particularly appealing. American and European clients, as well as French ex-pats living in London, are making a significant comeback at the top end of the Parisian market. Confidence is again on the rise thanks to Macron’s government, and we are very optimistic about the next six months”.
