FAMILY REAL ESTATE
MORE THAN
A REAL ESTATE AGENCY
A FAMILY HOME
In 2007, Sandrine and Olivier Kretz decided to create an agency specializing in luxury real estate. They wanted this agency to be a reflection of their personalities: to be resolutely independent, human, agile, and for it to feel like a family. Above all, they want to share more than real estate. They want to share life projects, emotions, dreams, and a whole art of living. It was therefore quite natural that three of their sons, Martin, Valentin, and Louis, joined them in their 1930s office-home in Boulogne Billancourt to continue to invent, as a family, this new way of doing real estate.
" We see real estate as a deeply and exclusively human business. "

Expertise
Consulting & strategy
Each project is a life project. For this reason, we aim to fully understand our clients, their deepest motivations, their way of life, and their desires.
• A unique and highly qualified database of buyers and owners. We include human criteria and lifestyle criteria. This exclusive KRETZ tool is shared with all our agents.
• A systematic study of the existing situation to build the future strategy of our customers: estimation, projection, marketing strategy
• Advice in interior design.
• The obtaining of permits for extensions or modifications to the property
• Advice and support for jointly owned properties.
Innovation and communication
The value of a property is not measured by its price but by the emotions it creates.
• The presentation of our properties is based on emotion and storytelling.
• Each property has a unique story to tell, and so becomes the subject of that story.
• To present the property in the most vivid way we use video and innovative tools such as drone cameras that allow us to place it in its environment
• All these living stories are shared on our platform, on social networks, and on high-end real estate portals
Search for qualified buyers
• Everything is a question of the right match
• A unique database because it is highly qualified and based on human and lifestyle criteria.
• A digital platform shared with all our agents.
Negotiation & closing
We build a relationship of trust that lasts over time.
• Accompaniment and exchanges at all stages: obtaining offers / negotiations / conclusion
• Accompaniment through all the steps up to the signing of the deed of sale
The Agency
This reality series follows the Kretz family and their luxury property business as they help clients buy and sell fabulous homes in France and abroad.

Innovation
What is important to us is to offer memorable experiences. We are constantly looking for the most efficient and innovative tools to enhance your property and tell a unique story. Thanks to cinemagraphs, drones, osmo cameras and the help of image professionals, we open the doors and capture the soul of each place.
DIRECTION AND PRODUCTION OF 4K VIDEOS
With state-of-the-art production equipment, we film the outstanding qualities of your property with smoothness and fluidity.
We create and capture movement. Because each property has its unique story to tell, we have integrated into our agency a professional film director, Virgile Voiseau.
CINEMAGRAPHER
Cinemagraphe captures the personality of your property with sensitivity and precision. Movement and poetry are the two strengths of this format. We design and produce cinemagraphs.
A cinemagraph is a photograph animated by a slight repetitive movement. It is normally in animated GIF format and can seem like watching a video.
DRONES
Aerial videos & 3D models
In partnership with our sister company www.skyness.com, which specializes in aerial services using drones, we create photos and videos that capture the emotions of each location, highlighting the features of the property and its environment. The result often creates a feeling of 'love at first sight', leading to a visit with a qualified, targeted buyer. Our videos are in full HD, enriched with music, and translated into English. We are registered with the DGAC (French Civil Aviation Authority) and have the administrative authorization to carry out these operations anywhere in France.
Our network
A family with a unique network in France
and abroad
We work with independent local teams who share our values.
These men and women understand that the human element is at the heart of their business. They love the regions where they work - they know them well because they live there.
At KRETZ they feel at home.
Each agent is sponsored by a family member.
They have access to KRETZ's qualified database, they benefit from all the innovative tools and our original material to communicate and promote our properties.
Together, we form a professional team united by expertise and values. At the same time, our individual independence allows us to be agile and proactive.
Partners
Brokers
These are individuals or organisations that put Kretz & Partners in contact with a seller or a buyer.
Estate agencies
These are agencies that specialise in their location or region and therefore have in-depth knowledge of the area but do not necessarily have the extensive network needed to find buyers.
Investment managers
These are specialists who manage an individual's portfolio and have the authority to sell their assets, but do not necessarily have the extensive network needed to find buyers.
International partners
Kretz & Partners works with clients looking to diversify their property portfolio in most of the world's major capital cities (Brussels, Geneva, London, New York, Miami, Sao Paolo, Dubai, Hong Kong, etc.). Similarly, our partners regularly recommend us to selected clients looking to buy prestige properties in Paris.
