A Change of Direction for Burger Sotheby's International Realty

    COTE D'AZUR, FRANCE, April 13, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Burger Sotheby's International has appointed Sandrine Palmier as Managing Director following the appointment of Jean-Francois Favelier as Chief Executive Officer. Favelier co-founded Burger Realty with is wife Anne-Maria Burger more than 30 years ago and has grown the company to become the premier luxury estate agency on the French Riviera.

Palmier first joined Burger Sotheby's International Realty in 2005 as a Commercial Assistant and most recently held the position of Sales Manager working from the Cannes Office. 'I am delighted to be given this opportunity to take Burger Sotheby's International Realty to the next level. My focus in the short term will be to strengthen the team and to ensure that we continue to offer extraordinary levels of service to each and every client that we deal with.' says Palmier 'As part of the worlds largest luxury property network I am also looking forward to working more with our colleagues overseas to deliver a truly global service to our clients'.

Favelier comments 'It is with absolute confidence that I pass the day to day management of the company to Sandrine. She is the consummate professional and I know that she is focused on our people and her clients. I very much look forward to sharing in her success.'

Palmier takes over at a time when the property market in the South of France is showing excellent signs of recovery, although thankfully this was one of the European regions least affected by the global economic downturn. The Cote d'Azur has an allure that continues to attract the rich and famous to the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and under the guidance of Palmier Burger Sotheby's International Realty is best placed to handle property purchases on their behalf.

Burger Davis Sotheby's International Realty offers an unrivalled portfolio of luxury property for sale or to rent on the French Riviera. Working throughout the region, from Monaco to St Tropez, the selection includes exclusive rental villas, luxury apartments in the heart of Cannes together with some of the most exclusive properties for sale or available for rent on the Cote d'Azur. www.Burger-Davis.com
