The advisors
behind the name

Six specialists in one Simpson Bay office, working on both sides of the island. We represent buyers, sellers and owners in English and French — and we treat every purchase as an investment, with the exit planned from day one.

John Andreu, Founder and Broker of Andreu Realty

FOUNDER & BROKER

JOHN

ANDREU

“Every acquisition is an investment. We plan the exit before you sign.”

John founded Andreu Realty after fifteen years in real estate between France, Miami and Sint Maarten. He began with a major European developer — selling buildings off-plan, shaping their marketing and guiding buyers from reservation to handover — then advised clients as a financial adviser specialised in real-estate investment products.

Licensed on both the Dutch and French sides, he leads every acquisition the same way: the numbers first, then the lifestyle, and the exit strategy from day one — in French or in English.

THE TEAM

Specialists for every kind of purchase

Villas and condos, businesses, rentals and property management — you work with the advisor who knows your market best, backed by the whole office.

HOW WE WORK

From the first call to the keys — and after

Buying on an island with two legal systems should feel simple. One advisor stays with you at every step.

01

Discovery call

We start with your goals: personal use, rental income or both, budget, timeline and the side of the island that suits you.

02

A private shortlist

Listings on both sides matched to your brief, each with our honest view on rental potential and resale.

03

Viewings

In person with your advisor, or by live video when you are buying from abroad.

04

Offer to closing

We negotiate, then coordinate the notary, lawyers and lenders on either side of the border until you hold the keys.

05

After the keys

Rental management, maintenance and, when the time comes, your resale — the exit we planned on day one.

WHY ANDREU REALTY

One office, two sides of the island

01

Both sides, one team

Dutch-side and French-side purchases follow different rules. We work both, so you compare the whole island, not half of it.

02

Investment first

Every recommendation comes with the numbers behind it: realistic rental income, running costs and resale.

03

In your language

English and French from the first call to closing — contracts explained, not just translated.

04

With you after closing

Our rental management keeps your property earning and cared for while you are away.
