The founding partners
Sébastien Salin
Co-founder · French Real Estate Advisor
📍 Hong Kong — working all French regions
Sébastien has spent over a decade guiding international buyers through the French property market — from Parisian apartments to Alpine chalets, Provençal mas to Bordeaux wine estates. He built Salin & Poirier on a single conviction: that buying in France should feel like an adventure, not an ordeal. His network spans every French region, built over years of transactions with clients from around the world.
Malik Poirier-Dif
Co-founder · Finance & Private Wealth
📍 Hong Kong — covering Asia-Pacific & international clients
Twenty-five years in international finance, between France, London and Asia. Founder of VIA Gestion Privée Internationale, a wealth management firm dedicated to French expatriates and family offices. Malik co-founded Salin & Poirier because he saw the same clients who spent weeks analysing a financial investment sign a multi-million euro property deal on a whim — without the rigour they would apply to anything else in their portfolio.
