From Lorraine to the Hautes-Alpes, from Portugal to the Var, every step of my journey has taught me the same lesson: adapt, keep learning, and never leave a client without a clear answer.

Before moving into real estate, I worked for more than twenty-five years in hairdressing. At the same time, I was also managing my husband’s business in the Hautes-Alpes: accounting, administration, customer relations, while raising our two sons.
Those years taught me discipline, organisation and the ability to handle several responsibilities at once.
My experience alongside the building trade also gave me something extremely valuable: a practical understanding of renovation work, materials and costs. That technical insight still helps me today, both in advising sellers accurately and in reassuring buyers from the very first viewing.
My roots
My roots, my natural discipline, and a region that shaped my character. I remain deeply attached to it.
More than 20 years
Hairdressing, business management, construction, family life. Those years strengthened my precision, listening skills, discipline and sense of service.
International experience
Working in a market I did not know yet, and in a language I had not fully mastered, taught me how to adapt quickly, build a solid method and analyse a market with clarity.
For the past 2.5 years · Optimhome
Here, I found what I loved in Portugal — the light, the climate, the Mediterranean surroundings — together with the structure, tools and efficiency that allow me to serve my clients at the level they deserve.
Stepping outside my comfort zone has always been part of my path. Each stage has made me more precise, more human and more effective for the people who trust me.
A real estate project is never just a transaction. It is often a key moment in life: a move, a change, a transition, a new beginning.
That is why my role goes far beyond opening a door or organising a viewing.
My job is to explain, anticipate, secure each step and give my clients a realistic understanding of the market, so every decision can be made clearly and confidently.
Based on real recorded sales data in the area. Not on algorithms, not on listing prices, but on what the market actually closes at.
I am the person who answers the phone. No assistant, no filter, no distance. A direct contact, quick answers and close follow-up.
My background in construction allows me to identify details that others may miss and to answer technical questions from the very first visit.
Professional photography, thoughtful presentation and targeted exposure. First impressions matter, and I pay close attention to them.
From valuation to signing at the notary’s office, I stay involved at every stage. Each file is followed carefully, clearly and consistently.
I always prefer an uncomfortable truth to a vague promise. My clients know it, and they often appreciate that most.
I chose Optimhome after careful consideration. What I was looking for was clear: strong tools, a rigorous method and the freedom to work in my own way, with no intermediary between my clients and me.
To join the network, I completed a full training programme in order to master its processes, tools and standards. That is the level of service I want to deliver in every file I handle.
As an independent advisor, I can focus entirely on each client’s project, without volume pressure and without quota-driven logic.
I work with one goal in mind: quality, clarity and results.
I am also fortunate to work alongside an experienced, rigorous and supportive professional partner. This collaboration is a real strength, both for me and for my clients.

Outside real estate, I have several passions that naturally influence the way I see and do my work.
Fitness
Healthy cooking
Photography
Interior design
The natural beauty of the Var
Family
Photography and interior design sharpen my eye when it comes to presenting a property well. Fitness gives me the discipline and energy this profession requires. Healthy cooking, together with my Lorraine roots, reminds me that meaningful things are often built around sharing.
And then there are my grandchildren — a simple, sincere and essential source of joy.
I am someone who commits fully. In work as in life. The standards I apply to my personal projects are exactly the same as the ones I bring to every real estate file entrusted to me.
A sale often begins with a simple recommendation: a neighbour, a friend, a tradesperson, someone who thinks of me at the right moment.
That introduction can make all the difference, and I believe it should be recognised.
10%
A concrete example: on a sale of €420,000, the referring person received €1,600.
Clear. Fair. Transparent.
The payment is made upon signing at the notary’s office. Recommending a trusted professional is a meaningful gesture, and trust deserves recognition.
Because behind every recommendation, there may be a successful sale, a life project moving forward, and an advisor fully committed to defending the file.
Whether you are just starting to think about selling or already ready to move forward, I take the time to understand your situation, your expectations and your constraints, so I can give you a clear and realistic view of your project.
With strong local market knowledge, effective tools and a structured working method, I help you make the right decisions at the right time, within a secure framework.

I do not share this journey as a sales argument. I share it because it says something essential about the way I work.
Each stage of my path taught me how to adapt, how to read situations accurately, and how never to underestimate what clients may be going through when they contact me.
I support every real estate project with the same standards: accurate valuation, clear strategy and tailored support.
See you soon — for an initial conversation, a valuation, or simply to help you gain a clearer view of your project.
