Ateliers Lofts & Associés is the leading French group, since 1998, specialising in non-standard real estate.

In 2006, the history of the Ateliers Lofts & Associés group is enriched; Nicolas Libert entrusts the development of the Ateliers, Lofts & Associés brand to Cédric Fourteau in the South West through the cities of Bordeaux, Arcachon, Biarritz and La Rochelle. Then he co-founded eLUX Repérages, an inexhaustible source of original and rare locations, available for filming and photo shoots...

In 2007, Nicolas Libert co-founded the agency Architecture de Collection, a real estate entity that celebrates architectural creation. The agency allows buyers to treat themselves to a house signed by the hand of an architect from the 20th and 21st centuries.

This market is constantly evolving, the demand is real and constant, exceptional goods have multiplied, interior design has become the key word for buyers.

Rich in their heritage, French cities are giving more and more importance to the rehabilitation of their city centres in order to make people discover their historical past and the architecture that surrounds them.

Favourable to the transformation of former industrial or commercial sites, they encourage the increase of rare and unusual properties, to be transformed or already rehabilitated, available on the market.

Running an Ateliers, Lofts et Associés agency means above all representing a brand that for more than 22 years has been able to establish its reputation while remaining faithful to its specific characteristics. This induces a certain sensitivity for architecture, decoration and of course real estate. Managerial qualities are of course required in order to take the leadership and federate around you a competent team that will know how to transmit the values of the brand and be efficient with its customers.
In the same way, a good knowledge of the franchised area (market, typology, network...) is an essential element for the good development of the agency.
The future franchisee will be a company manager who will have many responsibilities to fulfil and it is essential that he also has good interpersonal skills.
