Impact, forty years on the Croisette
A family firm founded in Cannes in 1985, the Impact agency is known as a top local reference for high-end property sales. The first agency was joined by a second one, entirely dedicated to seasonal rental management. Together, they form an entity in perfect synergy, providing assistance for a French and international clientele, in all aspects of their projects.
At the head of these 2 entities based on the Croisette, at the foot of Le Grand Hôtel, Emmanuelle Le Quellec Furrer heads a team of about 20 professionals well-versed in the demands created by Cannes’ property market. Their coverage encompasses the town’s most iconic addresses : the Croisette, Palm Beach, La Californie, Super Cannes, the town centre. Beyond the coastline, the agency also handles the hillsides of Mougins, Valbonne and Châteauneuf-de-Grasse, highly-prized areas, particularly among north Europeans. French buyers comprise the majority of the clientele. They mostly consist of Parisians, company directors and self-employed professionals, wanting to embrace a lifestyle blending refinement and relaxation, seaside pleasures and Riviera elegance. As for international buyers, an increasing number of clients from Dubai are drawn to Cannes for its laid-back atmosphere and international aura.
The most sought-after properties meet criteria that are easily identified : a top-notch address, a beautiful view, and turnkey character. Apartments and villas already fully fitted, equipped, and carefully decorated meet with real success, demand opting for properties ready to move in. The agency’s portfolio reflects this diversity, ranging from strategically located studios, priced from 250,000 to 300,000 €, to outstanding residences from 6 to 10 M €. The Impact agency recently set up a partnership with the 14 Vaneau agencies in the finest neighbourhoods of Paris, and another partnership with a group in Dubai. Seasonal rentals also meet with high demand. Tourists and conventioneers come to Cannes throughout the year, expecting impeccable services, especially in the form of conciergerie, which has become a key selection criterion. Impact meets these demands by proposing offerings that are rigorously selected.
