The MAISON Story

Born and raised in Paris, our appreciation for architecture and design was shaped by years of travel.

More than 25 years ago, we made Cape Town our home where we designed and built two distinctive wooden beach houses along the Atlantic coastline. These homes became sought-after locations for international film and photography campaigns and were featured in European design magazines.

Before entering real estate, we founded and ran a film production company, producing international television commercials for houses such as Cartier, Chloé, Nina Ricci and Guerlain. Collaborating closely with leaders at L'Oréal, Richemont, and LVMH taught us to work under pressure, make decisions with confidence, and deliver results in demanding environments.

Over the years, we also came to understand the importance of discretion, clear communication, and long-term relationships.

As many of our clients fell in love with Cape Town, they naturally turned to us for guidance when looking for property here. This led us into real estate, and to the creation of something that truly reflected our values, our experience, and our way of working.

MAISON by Jeanne & Olivier brings together our international background, film-world mindset, a personal approach to each client and a deep understanding of the Cape Town market.

Based in Cape Town, we specialise in properties across the Southern Suburbs, City Bowl, and Atlantic Seaboard and beyond, for the right client and the right property.

For us, real estate is ultimately about trust, judgement, and understanding people.
