Having settled in France from a very young age, Michaël Zingraf quickly developed a deep attachment to the Côte d'Azur and Provence. This passion for an exceptional region, combined with a demanding entrepreneurial vision, led to the opening of a first real estate agency in Cannes in 1977. What was then only an entrepreneurial adventure would, over the decades, become one of the leading French names in prestigious real estate.
Thanks to his perfect command of several languages and his understanding of the expectations of an international clientele, Michaël Zingraf quickly built privileged relationships with European buyers, captivated by the Mediterranean art of living. Over the years, this clientele naturally expanded to the rest of the world. Today, the Group mainly supports an international clientele in the purchase, sale and rental of exceptional properties.
Built on steady, controlled growth, Michaël Zingraf Real Estate has pursued the same ambition for nearly half a century: to provide flawless support while remaining true to the values that have defined its reputation since its creation: trust, integrity, discretion and excellence.
Founded in 1977 in Cannes, Michaël Zingraf Real Estate has established itself as one of the leading names in prestigious real estate in France. For nearly fifty years, the Group has been supporting buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners in their most ambitious real estate projects on the French Riviera, in Provence, in the French Alps, as well as in several international destinations.
This success is built on an in-depth knowledge of the most sought-after markets, a rigorous selection of exceptional properties, and fully personalized support tailored to the expectations of French and international clients.
In 2012, Christie's International Real Estate chose Michaël Zingraf Real Estate as its exclusive affiliate for the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This prestigious partnership reflects the level of expertise achieved by the Group and strengthens its reach among a demanding international clientele.
Today, Michaël Zingraf Real Estate brings together more than a hundred multilingual employees from many nationalities. True specialists in their markets, the Group's Property Brokers support their clients in several languages and put their perfect knowledge of the local area at the service of every real estate project.
Over the course of its development, the Group has built a network of agencies located in the most iconic addresses of the French Riviera, Provence, the French Alps, and several international destinations.
From Cannes to Saint-Tropez, from Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to Cap d'Antibes, from Mougins to Opio, from Aix-en-Provence to Gordes or even Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, each agency benefits from a perfect understanding of its local market while relying on the strength of a network recognized internationally.
This local presence makes it possible to offer clients a precise view of different markets while giving them access to a selection of some of the most exclusive properties.
Behind this success lies, above all, a family story.
Joined by his son Heathcliff Zingraf in 2001, Michaël Zingraf continues to personally uphold the Group's vision and values. Together, they continue to develop the company while preserving what has defined its identity from the start: a strong commitment to their clients' projects, a lasting relationship of trust, and a constant commitment to the quality of the services offered.
This family governance allows the Group to combine stability, innovation, and a long-term vision while preserving the agility of a company that remains close to its clients.
Michaël Zingraf Real Estate supports a predominantly international clientele in the purchase, sale, seasonal rental, and enhancement of exceptional properties.
Contemporary villas, historic estates, luxury apartments, wine estates, mountain chalets, waterfront properties, or private estates: every project benefits from fully personalized support provided by recognized specialists in their field.
Beyond real estate transactions, the Group provides a comprehensive range of services designed to simplify every stage of a property project.
Because a real estate project often goes beyond the simple acquisition of a property, Michaël Zingraf Real Estate offers comprehensive support bringing together the best expertise.
The teams advise their clients in the areas of financing, wealth management, legal and tax support, property management, project oversight, and private concierge services.
Thanks to a network of leading partners in France and internationally, the Group also assists its clients in structuring and enhancing their real estate assets.
For nearly fifty years, this tailor-made approach, combined with a perfect knowledge of the most prestigious markets, has made Michaël Zingraf Real Estate an essential reference in luxury real estate in France.

Some architecture carries History with elegance.
There are properties that defy gravity.
There are views that redefine the art of living.
There are homes where architecture serves life.
There are places where silence is a luxury.
There are properties that redefine the word « panorama ».
There are villas where architecture whispers rather than shouts.
There are addresses carrying four centuries in their stones.
