FRANCE – CORSICA
meet the manager
Meeting with Sebastien Ristori, Director of BARNES Córcega.
Could you introduce yourself briefly? How was your office created?
Hi, I’m Sebastien RISTORI, Agency Director at BARNES Corse, a marketing services company for real estate transactions and rentals, and a professor of finance at the University of Corsica. BARNES Corse was created in 2006 under the name of “Cala Rossa immobilier”, the result of the association of childhood friends, Jacques Magliolo and François Colonna-Cesari. His desire was to put his knowledge of the region at the service of his clients and their real estate projects. Seven years later, they joined the prestigious BARNES network, an opportunity to open up to the world while remaining faithful to the values they share: ethics, work, trust, as well as customer and partner service.
How is your office structured and what areas do you cover today?
Currently, there are five offices in Corsica, with headquarters in the areas of Cala Rossa, Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio/Cavallo, Ajaccio and recently Balagne. The Corsica BARNES team is made up of 25 collaborators specialized in the real estate market on the island. There are teams from transactions, communication, administration and accounting, seasonal rentals, concierge and maintenance, who work throughout the year to develop the company.
What kind of services do you offer?
After several years of experience combining local expertise, ethics, discretion and the power of the international BARNES network, our company offers its clients two professions. In the first place, the commercialization of heritage by digitization, real estate advice and the commercialization of a property that is entrusted to us. We also offer the marketing of a tourist destination, Corsica, to create tailor-made holidays thanks to a network of exclusive and quality partners, for a clientele who wants to spend their trips on our island.
For a foreign investor, why would you recommend Corsica and what products or location would you suggest?
The general trend is to look for a property that respects the environment in a region of peace and security. Corsica has all these advantages! The fourth most populous island in the Mediterranean and the second most attractive region in France, it attracts newcomers every year. The preferred sectors for exceptional properties are concentrated in the south of Ajaccio and the “grand Porto-Vecchio” area, where the most sublime properties with sea views are highly prized. Our BARNES Corsica team selects exceptional properties for their architecture, their integration into the landscape and the quality of their design.
