Sonya Clarke

I specialise in exceptional properties in and around Cap Ferrat, the prestigious peninsula on the French Riviera between Monaco and Nice, where I reside.

My career began in the arts as a professional ballerina with The Royal Ballet, performing at Covent Garden in London. I later transitioned into investment banking in the City of London, including roles at Salomon Brothers / Citigroup, where I led Credit Risk Management and Compliance departments, before advising corporates on Foreign Exchange Risk Management strategies at HiFX / Euronet Worldwide.

When personal circumstances prompted a new chapter, I joined the Engel & Völkers team in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. My performance has been recognised with numerous internal awards, including being named top sales agent in France five times.

Cap Ferrat is home to many international high-net-worth individuals, and the calibre of real estate I represent reflects the ambitions and expectations of this discerning clientele. I operate confidently within this rarefied segment of the market, where property values per square metre rank among the highest in the world.

Client satisfaction is my driving force. I am known for going the extra mile to ensure that the expectations of my often sophisticated and exacting buyers and sellers are not only met, but exceeded. This includes assisting with financing when required, drawing on an established and trusted network of contacts. The discipline, precision and attention to detail I developed during my years with The Royal Ballet continue to shape my approach to real estate today.
