FOUNDING OF MAGREY & SONS

The Magrey & Sons adventure began in 1969. A family-run agency in Cannes, on the famous Croisette Boulevard, in front of the Majestic Hotel and opposite the Palais des Festivals, Magrey & Sons established itself as the benchmark agency for exceptional real estate in Cannes. Franck and Michel MAGREY, sons of Jacques MAGREY, driven by the pursuit of excellence, continue its development and extend its reputation throughout the French Riviera, around family values, integrity and dedication.

OPENING OF SAINT-TROPEZ AGENCY

Building on its expansion towards the west of the French Riviera, the Magrey & Sons group opens a branch in Saint-Tropez, between the mythical Place des Lices and the Hôtel de Paris. The agency covers not only the Saint-Tropez peninsula, but also the coastline and the nearby Var hinterland, including the red rocks of the Esterel hills, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez with Sainte-Maxime and Grimaud, exceptional inland estates, and the wild western Var region.

OPENING OF MOUGINS AGENCY

In 2019, Magrey & Sons opens an agency in Mougins, one of its most historic markets. With its agency ideally located on the village's main square, and its dedicated team, the group thus consolidates its presence in the Mougins area and its direct surroundings, to respond to all requests and searches, both for sale and for rent.

CREATION OF THE “RETAIL” BRANCH

As a specialist in high-end residential real estate, Magrey & Sons opens a division dedicated to commercial real estate, with a dedicated structure and team. The Magrey & Sons group thus expands its real estate offering, with this additional string to its bow, to support its investor clients, whether they are looking for hotels, commercial premises, private beaches or diverse business assets.

OPENING OF MONACO AGENCY

Year 2023 was marked by the opening of our Monaco branch at 2 Avenue Saint-Laurent, in the heart of Monaco's most exclusive district: the Carré d'Or. Magrey & Sons now follows its client's lead, putting its expertise and know-how at the service of French and international clients looking for a residence or investment in Monaco. This new location is also an opportunity for the Magrey & Sons group to offer its services to Monegasque clients looking for a residence outside the Principality, with one of the most extensive property offerings in the South of France.

OPENING OF VALBONNE AGENCY

In 2024, Magrey & Sons opens a new agency in Valbonne, benefiting from an exceptional location and visibility. The group continues to expand inland, with this gateway to the nearby hinterland (Valbonne, Opio, Grasse, Vence, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Châteauneuf-Grasse, Roquefort-les-Pins, La Colle-sur-Loup, etc.). The agency's experienced team offers tailor-made support to unearth the region's finest properties.

Opening of Paris agency

At the end of 2024, Magrey & Sons opened its Parisian agency at 101, rue du Bac, in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Bon Marché. In 2025, this new address fully embodies the group's commitment to the most sought-after neighborhoods in and around the capital. True to our DNA, the Paris agency offers a discreet and tailor-made service, under the direction of Nina Magrey, guiding a demanding clientele in all their real estate projects.

Deontology and non-discrimination

Deontology and non-discrimination

Every year, all agents in the Magrey & Sons Group take part in a comprehensive training course lasting several hours on the regulations and ethics of the real estate professions. This approach reflects the agency's commitment to guaranteeing professional practices that comply with legal and ethical requirements, while strengthening the quality of its customer service.

The main objectives of this training were to deepen the understanding of the regulatory frameworks governing the real estate professions, to raise awareness of the issues related to non-discrimination, and to ensure compliance with recent developments in legislation. At the same time, this initiative made it possible to strengthen the internal policy of combating discrimination by identifying potentially discriminatory behavior and defining concrete actions to prevent it. It also provided an opportunity to review the fundamental principles of ethics applied to the profession, thus ensuring that they are perfectly in line with the expectations of clients and partners.

The training covered a wide range of topics that are essential for real estate professionals. These included the regulatory aspects of the profession, the legal obligations specific to the sector, and the criminal liabilities of negotiators. An important part of the training was devoted to Tracfin, to make teams aware of the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, two crucial issues in the real estate sector. Participants also deepened their knowledge of ethical rules, in particular with regard to the responsibility of agents towards clients and third parties. Finally, specific workshops helped identify and understand the mechanisms of discrimination, in order to better combat them through a proactive and benevolent policy within the agency.

Thanks to this training, the Magrey & Sons Group affirms its desire to remain an exemplary player in the real estate sector, combining expertise, regulatory compliance and ethical commitment.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Magrey & Sons Group is deeply committed to reducing its environmental footprint and promoting sustainable practices across all its activities. This commitment is reflected in a range of concrete initiatives implemented within the group’s agencies, aimed at fostering a more eco-responsible and inclusive work environment.

  • Sorting and Recycling of Waste: Each agency has adopted a rigorous waste management policy, ensuring that recyclable materials such as paper, plastics, and glass are correctly sorted and processed in compliance with local recycling programs.
  • Reduction of Paper Use: To minimize paper consumption, the group prioritizes digital solutions for internal and external communication, replacing printed documents with electronic formats whenever possible.
  • Low-Resolution and Double-Sided Printing: For cases where printing is unavoidable, the group uses eco-friendly practices such as low-resolution settings to reduce ink usage and double-sided printing to cut paper consumption in half.
  • Use of Low-Energy Light Bulbs: All agencies have transitioned to energy-efficient LED lighting, significantly reducing electricity consumption while maintaining optimal lighting conditions.
  • Purchasing in Short Circuits: Wherever feasible, the group prioritizes local suppliers for the purchase of goods and services. This approach not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation but also supports local economies.
  • Development of Telecommuting: By facilitating remote work options for employees, the group reduces the need for daily commuting, contributing to a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing work-life balance.

By integrating these practices into its daily operations, the Magrey & Sons Group goes beyond mere compliance with environmental and social standards. It demonstrates a genuine commitment to creating a positive impact, both within the organization and in the broader community. These initiatives not only contribute to preserving the planet for future generations but also reinforce the group’s position as a responsible and forward-thinking leader in the real estate sector.

Commitment to the environment

Magrey & Sons supports Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, created in 2006. This foundation is dedicated to the defense of the environment, the promotion of sustainable development on a global scale and the protection of the planet.

The Foundation finances projects that aim to limit the effects of climate change by promoting renewable energies, preserving biodiversity and proper management of water resources to combat desertification. It operates in the Mediterranean Basin, the Polar Regions and the Least Developed Countries (according to the official United Nations list).

The various projects supported provide concrete answers to current environmental problems by fighting deforestation, developing protected marine areas or organizing better management of access to water resources in developing countries. These actions are not exhaustive and we invite you to consult the Foundation's website to learn more.

To support these projects, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation relies on a network of donors, individuals or companies, for whom the environmental issues of our modern societies are fundamental.

Magrey & Sons has decided to be part of the patrons by committing itself to the preservation of the environment and is pleased to be part of the donors to support the actions of Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. We believe it is our duty to protect the planet for future generations.
