Côte Ouest Immobilier, Christie’s
Affiliated to the renowned auction house Christie’s, the two Côte Ouest Immobilier agencies share the values and quest for excellence pursued by this prestigious network. Since its creation, Côté Ouest Immobilier, directed by Nicolas Descamps, has achieved a leading position in high-end real estate on the French Basque Coast, extending its aura as far as Les Landes.
Since 2011, Côte Ouest Immobilier, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate on the French Basque Coast, has offered its services to a French and international clientele looking to buy or sell an exceptional property. Positioned on the prestige sector, the two agencies with eight members in their team benefit from deep local roots and recognized expertise : “Our affiliation and privileged partnership with Christie’s, which has 1,200 agencies in 48 countries, immediately gave us top-of-the-range status and a leading position on our region’s luxury real-estate market,” says Nicolas Descamps. “As witnessed by the fact that, in just two years, we have sold properties worth a total of over 100 million euros. Even though linked to this international brand, we remain independent and have placed our bets on close relationships, with two agencies on a human scale. Our basic principles are integrity, discretion and high-quality service. For buyers, our approach focuses on coherency and time-saving. As we see it, luxury real estate consists of properties benefiting from outstanding locations, whatever their size : houses, estates or apartments. It is also a matter of price : three of our most recent transactions were over and above 5 million euros and involved properties for sale on a confidential basis.” On the subject of the market on the Basque Coast, Nicolas Descamps adds : “The year 2019 has been much the same as 2018 with a significant number of sales, demand outstripping supply, and very high prices. The region continues continues to draw many buyers who appreciate its lifestyle, its natural environment, architectural beauty and strong identity. In our agencies, our clientele consists of foreigners and ex-pats, as well as buyers from Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse. They are mainly looking for a “walk everywhere” lifestyle, open views, ideally of the sea, but also properties 15 minutes from the ocean giving priority to spaciousness and mountain views”.
