A Part of Paris and Fractional France

Yesterday the New York Times decided to run Linda Hervieux’s article about Steve Navaro’s fractional ownership property, Le Jardin Saint-Paul, an apartment we found for him and have promoted to our readers. (Just this last week, we offered a special deal to readers of French Property Insider and Parler Paris — one year’s dues free of charge with only a few shares left to purchase!)
As I write this, the article is the 4th most popular on the New York Times Web site and we’re getting more emails than we can handle! Clearly, the topic is of interest to many people now that the dollar buys so much less! And without a doubt, the shares will be sold very quickly.
As a result of the popularity of the topic, we devote today’s issue entirely to Fractional Ownership and the properties we are offering to our readers as well as our own “Design Your Own Fractional” program.
There are two properties offered by Paris Home Shares, each with only a few shares left, one share left at the property featured on the Ile Saint Louis, one property from French Property Shares in the South of France and two shares left in Château Living France just outside of Paris.
If none of these properties suit you, then Design Your Own and let us help you form your own pool of owners and purchase the property of your dreams.
Scroll down for all this and more in today’s exciting issue about Fractional Ownership!

A bientôt…

“In Paris, Owning an Eleventh of an Apartment”

I’ve stolen Linda Hervieux’s title. Forgive me, Linda.
That’s because her article about Fractional Ownership just appeared today in the New York Times Great Homes and Destinations today along with Richard Harbus’ stunning photos of Le Jardin Saint-Paul.
You might remember the name — it’s the apartment we’ve been talking about that has only a few shares of ownership left. It was featured very recently in a Parler Paris on May 9th — an apartment that our “Search En
gine” (Property Se
arch Consultant), Mary Ellen Gallagher, found for Steve and Sue Navaro, who promptly renovated it ‘to the nines’ and then are selling off its shares.
I remember when she discovered the apartment, and yes, it had been hideously decorated in an industrial style by a young Frenchman who must have been sick to death of French traditional motif like so many of them are. Instead of respecting the gorgeous exposed 17th-century stones and wood beams, he poured concrete floors and in them buried spot lights pointing upward…not good for the skin tones of us ‘older’ women! We were appalled, but the good ‘bones’ were there and the apartment was clearly a little piece of heaven in Paris.
Steve and Sue quickly agreed and before long, the renovation and redecoration went underway to transform it into the luxurious abode it is…for 12 lucky owners.
The article quotes me as saying: “The dwindling dollar means people saving up their pennies to buy property in Paris have less to spend,” said Ms. Leeds, who is planning her own move into fractionals. “This allows them to make an investment in a euro asset, which is crucial.”
Let me clarify one point. I am not PLANNING a move into fractionals. I’ve ALREADY moved into fractionals! If you’ve been following this, it was Parler Paris that had “six dozen inquiries” that “came flooding in last month after an American woman posted an advertisement on a Web site for expatriates.”
The huge response was shocking! Before long, “Design Your Own Fractional Ownership Property” was launched under the name of “French Property Fractional.com.” Plus, since the beginning, we’ve supported Steve and Sue’s “Paris Home Shares” properties along with Ginny Blackwell’s French Property Shares’ fractional properties, both of whom have spoken at our Living and Investing in France Real Estate Conferences. (See https://adrianleeds.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/frenchproperty/consultation/sales/fractional/fractional_offerings.html)
So, remember the deal? It still stands! The annual dues for Le Jardin Saint-Paul are 1103€. At today’s rate of exchange, that’s $1700. If you move quickly, (now that the article appeared in the New York Times, you must move even more quickly!), Steve will himself pay the annual dues for any Parler Paris reader who buys a share in Le Jardin Saint-Paul! The only months available are: July, August, November and maybe October!
This means that in effect, your vacation in Paris this year will not only be in a luxurious two bedroom apartment in Le Marais that you own a part of, but will be absolutely FREE OF CHARGE, too!!!

In Paris, Owning an Eleventh of an Apartment
By Linda Hervieux
For The New York Times

When Steve Navaro throws open the thick silk drapes framing the large windows in his Paris pied-à-terre, he enjoys a rare luxury in this tightly packed city: a lush garden.
The garden isn’t his alone. Nor, in fact, is the apartment. Mr. Navaro, a lawyer from Denver, shares his two-bedroom apartment in the Marais neighborhood of Paris with several other owners.
As the founding investor in the property — and two other apartments in Paris — Mr. Navaro, 56, was driven by a desire to find an economical way to visit Paris often despite a steadily sinking dollar. And, as a real estate investor and entrepreneur, he also wanted to make those vacations pay.
“I was trying to combine my love of Paris with real estate,” he said.
Although the concept of fractional ownership has been slow to catch on in Europe, real estate experts say that Americans looking to buy abroad are increasingly exploring group properties, in response to economic uncertainty and the all-time-low exchange rates of the dollar.
For example, six dozen inquiries came flooding in last month after an American woman posted an advertisement on a Web site for expatriates. She was looking for partners to help her buy a 42-square-meter (452-square-foot) loft in the popular Ile Saint-Louis neighborhood. Two buyers quickly pledged $158,000 each, joining two others who had already signed on, said Adrian Leeds, an American property consultant in Paris who runs the Web site, adrianleeds.com/parlerparis.
“The dwindling dollar means people saving up their pennies to buy property in Paris have less to spend,” said Ms. Leeds, who is planning her own move into fractionals. “This allows them to make an investment in a euro asset, which is crucial.”Mr. Navaro and his wife, Sue, signed the contract last August, agreeing on a price of 730,000 euros (the
n about $997
,727). As they began searching for partners, the dollar had already fallen to $1.37 to the euro and was still dropping…

Design Your Own Fractional Ownership Property
With “French Property Fractional”
by Adrian Leeds
https://adrianleeds.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/frenchproperty/fractional
Fractional ownership may be a hot concept!…but we’re making it even hotter!
A new division of the Adrian Leeds Group, LLC, “French Property Fractional” is the newest and hottest way to own your piece of Paris simply, easily and inexpensively without the hassles of purchasing it on your own, but with all the benefits of doing it yourself.
What’s Fractional Ownership?
A hybrid of direct ownership and time sharing, it combines the best elements of both. The primary differences are that while timeshares involve many shares in a large complex with “resort” amenities and costs built specifically for that purpose, fractional ownership is joint ownership by only a few individuals in a single property whose value can easily be determined on the open market.
Most Paris fractional property opportunities are properties that have been purchased, renovated and decorated by one developer who then sells off the shares. Most of these offerings sell six to twelve shares to minimize the investment amount while maximizing the size, location and quality of the apartment.
What’s new about “designing your own” property?
While this system works well for many investors, we found that there are large numbers of individuals who would like to combine the benefits of traditional fractional ownership with single-party ownership, enjoying more time to personally use the property, having more decision-making power about the property, more input and more control. We believe that YOU want to feel like the property is really YOURS — and it is!! So, why not have a more personal relationship with the property.
Here’s how French Property Fractional works:
FIRST, WE OFFER A “CONCEPT”
Our team is offering a property CONCEPT…to search and find the following property to be shared between only a very small group of owners — four to six:
“MY PIED-A-TERRE IN LE MARAIS”
SIZE: 35 to 45 square meters (377 to 485 square feet)
ROOMS: two rooms — one bedroom apartment, with bedroom on a courtyard for quiet, full bath (perhaps bath + separate toilet) and open American-style kitchen
LOCATION: Le Marais, districts 3 or 4
LEVEL: No higher than 3rd floor (European) without an elevator
BUILDING TYPE: 17th, 18th or 19th-century (no newer buildings!)
AMENITIES: lots of light, nice views, fireplace or balcony or patio, secured storage for personal belongings, all new kitchen and bath fixtures, all the luxurious comforts
COST:
4 shares, 135,000€ each, 3 months of usage per year
5 shares, 108,000€ each, 10 weeks + 2 days of usage per year
6 shares, 90,000€ each, 2 months of usage per year
Total 540,000€
USAGE: Owners determine their own usage calendar and have
complete flexibility to arrange their calendar among themselves
FEES INCLUDE:
* Full price of the property including agency fees.
* All notarial and legal fees.
* Property search and consultation fees.
* Complete renovation and furnishing of property to luxury standards by professional interior architect and contractor within certain budgetary constraints.
EVERYONE MUST AGREE:
Members of the purchase pool must be willing to invest the full amount of at least one of six, one of five or one of four shares to be held in an escrow account to fund the property search, purchase and renovation.
The search will commence upon commitment in writing and receipt of funds from all members of the purchase pool with an agreed upon allowance for a minimum of 90 days to locate the property.
Upon location of a property that fits the above parameters, a memo with photos and description of the property will be sent to all members who may decide at that time to approve or decline the property in a timely manner — within 48 hours of receipt of the memo. Any group which is able to approve the found property with a combined total of 540,000€ will enable the purchase process to proceed.
Members of the purchase pool will provide proxy to the Adrian Leeds Group, LLC to sign notarial documents on their behalf: the Promesse de Vente and Acte de Vente — allow 3 to 4 months to completion.
Three decor concepts that fit within the renovation budget will be presented to the purchase pool for voting and will be executed by the interior architect and construction team. Any choices made by the purchase pool outside the framework of the budget will be charged over and above the initial fees. Allow 2 to 3 months to completion.
Members of the purchase pool will appoint one spokesperson for the purchase pool to make day-to-day decisions and act as a “liaison” between all members of the purchase pool.
NOTE: The Adrian Leeds Group, LLC will offer optional property management services upon completion
of the sale and renovation at an additiona
l expense to oversee the maintenance of the property, provide housekeeping between owners’ visits, manage the calendar of owner visits, pay all annual taxes, utility bills, etc. OR the group may operate fully on its own upon completion of the process.
If you are interested in participating in a purchase pool for “MY PIED-A-TERRE IN LE MARAIS,” email Adrian Leeds at [email protected]

Le Jardin Saint-Paul Two-Bedroom Fractional Ownership of 12 Shares
By Paris Home Shares
When we first stepped inside the beautiful stone-edged doorway, just a few steps off rue des Rosiers on rue Ferdinand Duval, we knew we were in for treat.

Rue Ferdinand Duval in the 4th arrondissement of the “Saint-Gervais” quarter begins at 18, rue de Rivoli, ending just at rue des Rosiers. Emile Gustave Ferdinand Duval (1827-1896), for which the street was named, was once the préfet of the Seine and member of the city council. This part of rue Ferdinand Duval has existed since the 13th-century!

This apartment is part of a “vieille maison” dating back into the 1800’s, and features original exposed stone walls and wood ceiling beams. The kitchen has been completely renovated, and the bathroom features a Jacuzzi tub. In addition, we will be installing antique oak plank flooring to soften the look and return the unit to its original character and feeling. High quality furnishings throughout, including antiques, original oil paintings and artwork reflecting the period will be added to complete the “cozy” feeling we are striving for. Included with the furnishings will be all of the modern touches as well, like a new washer, HDTV, high speed DSL Internet connection with laptop computer, and free phone calling to over 40 international countries, including the US!
Current price per share 92,000 euros
Shares remaining: July, August and Possibly October (if developer is willing to sell it!)
French Property Insider Readers Special Offering: The annual dues for Le Jardin Saint-Paul are 1103€. At today’s rate of exchange, that’s $1700. If you move quickly, Steve Navaro will himself pay the annual dues for any FPI reader who buys a share in Le Jardin Saint-Paul!

“Settling Down in Paris”
Angela and Ben met in 2003 when they lived in Los Angeles working for the same clothing company. Now, the two are engaged to be married. When Ben started receiving frequent overseas work, the company believed he’d be more valuable in Paris, so they happily relocated. They immediately moved into a cozy rental in the 17th district near the Arc de Triomphe and started to explore the different neighborhoods of Paris. The pair is now ready to take the big leap and purchase an apartment to stay for good. Property consultant Adrian Leeds is enlisted to help.

In addition, the 2006-2007 year witnessed average sale prices for apartments per square meter in Bordeaux rise from 1997 euros per sq.m to 2191 euros per sq.m. France is a stable country with a legal system that ensures real estate investors’ rights are very well protected. Interest rates are also attractive, currently around 4%, and financing is available for those who qualify, up to 80% of the purchase price.
– Ideal location in the picturesque Landes Country
– New build residence very fair pricing
