Live in Bordeaux is an international real estate guide by Prestant Realty.

As an American expat, I know the common struggles and can help you navigate the obstacles of purchasing or selling your home successfully. Allow me and my team at Prestant Realty to aid in the ease of your next big step.”

Alex Gaines, MBA
Partner, Real Estate Agent
Originally from the United States, I studied abroad in France and obtained an International MBA at EDHEC in Nice. After a career in international trade and commercial real estate investment, I found Biarritz irresistible and decided to build my life in the Basque Country.
What I appreciate most about real estate is the human connection. I have the privilege of accompanying customers in one of life's most important decisions: where to live. My speciality is to seek out and accompany foreign buyers for prestigious properties, but also to work with a solid local network.
In joining the PRESTANT Singular Properties team, I have found values that I hold dear and that are proving invaluable in the realization of a real estate project based on trust and loyalty. Reliability, professionalism and knowledge of the local real estate market are, along with my availability and responsiveness, the qualities I bring to the missions you entrust to me, whether to sell your property or accompany you in your search.

Assistante commerciale
Originally from Geneva and with Franco-Swiss nationality, I had the opportunity through my studies to discover several regions of France, specifically the Lyon region and the French Riviera, before moving to Bordeaux in 2022.
Before working in real estate, I pursued international studies at the University of Monaco, specializing in luxury hospitality and events. This led me to work for the sales department of 5 Palaces. Since real estate has always been of interest, I decided to pursue a second master’s degree in Bordeaux two years later.
Through these highly formative experiences, I learned about precision and developed my client relations skills. Additionally, I am fluent in English and willing to engage with an international clientele. My free time is shared between motorsport interests and ballet classes. She also loves walking and will help you discover Bordeaux and its surroundings.
“Moving from the United States to France has changed my life completely. It was very difficult not having a guide to purchasing a home and it makes me happy to be able to give others this help now.”
