About Edouard François

Edouard's passion for architecture was kindled at a young age, shaped by his mother’s influence as she brought him along to her construction sites. After completing his studies in Business Management and Marketing in Brussels, he ventured into real estate, inspired by his father’s profession.

His career began at Barnes International, where he cultivated a solid understanding of the luxury property market. He later joined Sotheby's Belgium, initially offering his expertise as a consultant in marketing, content creation, and branding. His academic background allowed him to refine the company’s communication strategies.

Over time, his focus shifted entirely to sales, where his deep knowledge of luxury real estate and architectural design enabled him to serve discerning clients with insight and finesse.

Edouard moved to Costa Rica to undertake his first architectural project, a journey that naturally led him to join the Costa Rica Sotheby’s Realty team after his experience with the Belgian branch. He successfully developed the brand in the region during the year 2024, with the hope of opening a branch in his own right. 

Having met the Christies Realty Costa Rica team with similar ambitions for the flourishing Santa Teresa region, he was offered a new opportunity as managing partner.

Now based in Santa Teresa, he is continually inspired by the region’s distinctive architectural landscape and the remarkable beauty of its natural environment. His approach to real estate is deeply informed by a nuanced understanding of design and space, allowing him to manage the well development of this new branch and it’s sales team.
