As its title suggests, “L’Agence Parisienne: Propriétés Exclusives” (original: “The Agency”) is a reality TV series where luxury real estate is front and center at every step of the way. It’s essentially the French version of ‘Selling Sunset’ but with far less drama, especially considering that it follows the “ordinary” Kretz family with extraordinary aspirations. However, while that makes the Netflix Original healthy, there’s still some (healthy) competition between brothers Martin and Valentin, so now if you’re curious to know more about them, we’ve got you covered. you need.
Who are Martin and Valentin Kretz?
If Martin Kretz is the eldest son of Olivier and Sandrine (the couple behind the independent brokerage firm Kretz & Partners), Valentin Kretz is the second of four brothers. That said, it is imperative to mention that even if the former joined the family business in 2010, while the latter arrived around 2014, they are equal in terms of contribution. Yes, they have their individual strengths and specializations, but they are both undeniably innovative and driven – determined to take the company not just nationally but internationally as well.
Martin graduated with a Masters in Management and Marketing from ESC Montpellier in 2011, after which he worked in Chile for about a year and a half and then in Mexico for another year. He thus masters Spanish perfectly, unlike his younger brother Valentin, who is also bilingual but in English. This is largely because the engineering, mathematics and computer science graduate has lived/worked in Stockholm, New York, Hong Kong and Manila (where he met his future wife, Charina). In short, the siblings have had the public exposure that enables them to work well with others in order to serve and expand their family agency.
Where are Martin and Valentin Kretz now?
Despite the personal and professional ups and downs of the past few years, Martin and Valentin continue to serve as Associate Directors at Kretz & Partners, a company that started in 2007. From what we can tell, since he seems quite content just to be part of the company while indulging in acting, the former doesn’t regret not moving to Lisbon, Portugal (as implied in Season 1). Martin is a proud son, brother, husband of designer Eve von Romberg and father of their two children, Rosa and Marius, all of whom play a part in his current contentment.
Coming to Valentin, despite not being able to expand his close family as he hoped with the fashion designer’s wife Charina Sarte, he too seems happy. That’s because he not only has a healthy partner, but also because they already share a handsome son named Noah, who came into their lives in late 2017. Plus, given his engineering background , as well as his propensity for innovation, it’s no surprise that Valentin is even the CTO at Skyness. As if that were not enough, he is also the Business Development Director of the Charina brand.
