Agence Rousselle Immo Prestige

Borne along by the attractiveness of Bordeaux, which has kept its place at the top of ratings for the most coveted towns in the provinces, the Agence Rousselle Immo Prestige has met with growing success since it started out in 2012. At the helm, Sandra Roussel, a passionate fan of old stone who, thanks to her conscientious approach and a portfolio of high-quality properties, has achieved remarkable recognition over the past decade.

An atypical personality in the world of real estate, Sandra Roussel placed her rich experiences abroad at her agency’s disposal, succeeding in very little time in attracting a loyal and demanding clientele thanks to her human qualities.

“I am backed by the four members of my small team and we all share the same vision of our profession,” says Sandra Roussel. “Together we advocate total transparency and an attentive ear, and take the time to analyze in depth the issues faced by our buyers and sellers. My team has now grown, our field of activity too : the centre and metropolis of Bordeaux have been joined by the Bassin d’Arcachon and the Spanish Basque Coast. And while our catalogue of properties focuses increasingly on prestige, we do not wish to be limited to luxury, so we retain properties that may also suit first-time buyers and rental investors.”

In Saint Sébastien Ondaretta, this remarkable property, truly iconic of the town’s architecture, benefits from an excellent location and a panoramic view overlooking the bay of La Concha and the Atlantic Ocean. Set in grounds of 7,066 m2, its living space of 926 m2 is comprised of spacious reception rooms and 17 bedrooms. + de 10 M €.

Near the Saint-Augustin neighbourhood, in grounds of 1,642 m² (of which 678 m² benefit from further building rights), this sublime villa of 450 m² is laid out around an inner garden and benefits from an exceptional park with a car-port and bowling terrain. Its living space of 678 m2 offers two vast reception areas, one opening out to a large family kitchen, 7 bedrooms, an indooor pool, a music and movie room giving onto a terrace... An independent studio completes the property. Possibility of parking space for 7 cars. De 3 à 4 M €.

After pursuing her studies in literature and philosophy, and a career rich in experiences (management in mass distribution, then for a luxury brand), Sandra Roussel spent 10 years working abroad. On her return to France in 2009, she turned her attention to real estate, opening her own agency in Bordeaux in 2012. Rousselle Immo Prestige, 7 rue Buhan, 33000 Bordeaux.

Just a short walk to Cours Clémenceau, this superb house, renovated throughout, is a real haven of peacefulness at the very heart of town. Its living space of 215 m² offers a vast living-room and a large kitchen, both opening out to an inner garden of 40 m². The two upper floors are comprised of 4 bedrooms including a master suite, a solarium and jacuzzi. A cellar, laundry room and garage further enhance this rare property. 2.266.000 €.

As for the market in Bordeaux, she explains : “It has stabilized over the past few months, with an end to soaring prices. We are currently seeing a reasonable market, especially in the centre of Bordeaux, where the stock of properties has risen thanks to the law reducing Airbnb rentals. The price range in the city centre is very wide, from 4,500 to 7,500 € per sq. metre.

For the metropolis of Bordeaux, the market remains stretched for houses with gardens, which are still highly-prized by clients. We have also noticed that, while confidence is recovering after a more unstable period due to the war, completion times for sales have become longer. As for the future, I remain optimistic : the development of teleworking now enables lots of city-dwellers to meet their desire for space, and Parisian clients are confirming their enthusiasm for Bordeaux”. n
