Our services typically include:

• Area orientation and lifestyle guidance

• Administrative support (banking, healthcare, schooling, utilities)

• Liaison with local professionals (agents, notaries, schools, service providers)

• International families

• Artists, creatives, and remote professionals

• Individuals seeking a discreet, refined relocation experience

We intentionally limit the number of clients we take on in order to provide exceptional attention and availability.

We are a boutique relocation service, built on trust, discretion, and long-term relationships.

What truly sets us apart:

• A highly personalized, human approach

• Deep local knowledge and trusted professional networks

• No one-size-fits-all packages

• Absolute discretion and confidentiality

• A single dedicated point of contact throughout the process

We focus on quality over quantity, and on people rather than files.

• Nice and its surrounding neighborhoods

• Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Cap d’Ail

• Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes

Each relocation is different.

Every collaboration with Maison Gem begins with a confidential initial consultation, during which we take the time to understand your relocation project, lifestyle expectations, and personal priorities.

Based on this exchange, we design a bespoke service structure, tailored to the scope and complexity of your relocation.
Rather than offering fixed packages, our services are custom-built, ensuring that each client receives precisely the level of support required.

Our fees reflect:

• The personalized nature of the service

• The level of involvement and availability

• The expertise and local insight provided

Maison Gem operates within the premium relocation segment, with an emphasis on discretion, clarity, and long-term value.
