Once upon a time...
If you ask Carine and Rudi Janssens what led them to leave the land of Magritte and dive into real estate to share their contagious passion for Provence, they’ll likely tell you that, on that day, reason gave way to impulse. Because yes, you do have to be a little crazy to take such a turn on this path we call life…
Why Provence?
At the time, they regularly left Belgium and the city of Hasselt for holidays and quickly embraced the art of living in the South of France. Little by little, the stays grew longer. They didn’t live there (yet), but this beautiful region between land and sea lived within them. The realization struck like an obvious truth: this is where they wanted to be, to live, to create, to grow !
A shared passion
It was in the heart of the Luberon, in Bonnieux, that they laid the first stone of their adventure: in 1999, Janssens Immobilier was born. Their passion for the Provençal art of living soon led them to create Made in Provence, a brand dedicated to seasonal rentals. Since then, the company has grown, with more than 10 agencies stretching from Mont Ventoux to Saint-Tropez.
In 2013, they reached a strategic milestone by partnering with the prestigious international brand Knight Frank, opening the doors of the world to their clients. Two years later, their daughter Julie Janssens joined the adventure as Marketing Director. The family business then entered a new era: one of ambitious development, with the goal of becoming the leading name in Provence. An ambition driven by a dedicated team and bespoke support at every step.
