We are Jean-Pierre and Manuel, a dynamic duo of husbands, with a shared passion for real estate.
Together, we have amassed over 15 years of experience helping hundreds of buyers in London, the UK and across the globe, working for renowned London Real Estate Agencies and the famous TV show 'A Place in the Sun' on Channel 4 .
In 2025, we founded Maison Hunt to provide tailored services by sharing our expertise with our clients.
Our Mission
Helping House Hunters find their home...
At Maison Hunt, our mission is simple: to make finding a home in London less overwhelming—and far more human.
Over the past decade, we’ve opened thousands of doors for buyers and renters across the globe, and our passion for the search is as strong as ever.
We bring that same dedication, clarity, and sharp eye for quality to help you navigate London’s dynamic property market—with confidence, care, and a personal touch—matching you with places that truly reflect who you are and how you live.
Our Passion
The London as the best place to live in, The idea of a Home and The US&YOU relationship...
Why London?
Jean-Pierre moved to London in 2010 and felt at home right away. Manuel joined in 2015, and together we've travelled the world—but nothing compares.
As Samuel Johnson said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.”
For us, London’s energy, diversity, and ever-changing property market make it the most exciting place to live and invest.
That’s why we chose it as the heart of our business.
What “Maison” means to Us
Maison—the French word for “home”—is more than four walls and a roof. It’s where life happens. A place to feel safe, to recharge, to gather, to grow.
Home reflects who you are. It holds your style, your memories, and your comforts—from quiet nights in to joyful celebrations.
To us, a home is not just a property. It’s a feeling. And helping you find it is what Maison Hunt is all about.
US & YOU
We’re a husband duo who love meeting new people and helping them find the place that feels just right.
One of us dreams big, the other gets it done—fast. Together, we become your London home-search detectives, combining care, instinct, and expertise to guide you every step of the way.
Because for us, it’s never just about property. It’s about you.
Ourselves
Meet Jean-Pierre & Manuel
We’re Jean-Pierre and Manuel—partners in life and in Maison Hunt. With backgrounds in property, media, and design, we bring a sharp eye, global perspective, and genuine care to every search.
I’ve always been a people person—curious, empathetic, and energized by helping others find their place in the world. My passion for property started young: drawing floor plans with clothespins, building Lego villages, and redesigning spaces in my mind whenever I enter a home.
With 13 years in real estate, what drives me most is the joy I see when clients find a space that truly feels like home.
That’s why I co-created Maison Hunt—to combine my love for people and property, helping others find the homes they deserve.
Jean-Pierre Clapes,
Director & Property Finder with a Heart
I can spend hours exploring homes—online or in person—spotting the details that make each one special. I’m drawn to thoughtful design, architectural charm, and the kind of spaces that tell a story. Whether it’s a vintage gem, a bold layout, or just the right light, I love imagining how a home can come to life.
Outside of property, I’m passionate about cinema, history, and beautifully crafted furniture—anything with soul and character.
At Maison Hunt, I bring calm focus and instinct to the search, helping you tune out the noise and zero in on homes that truly fit. For me, it’s all about finding the space where style meets substance—and where you feel instantly at home.
Manuel Rivas,
Director & Property Finder with Style
