When I met Laurie Pike in Los Angeles in 2005 I was at the show LA:PARIS at Cache Contemporary gallery in Los Angeles where I was showing my work along with 11 other artists from my first I V Y paris gallery in the Bastille. I had ran into her at the opening and had been told to seek her out by mutual friend Matthew Rose. It wasn't until I got back to Paris that she called me up to ask for Bonapart's help to invest in her first Parisian property......
Ariane Bernard writing for the New York Times : On paper, the story of Laurie Pike would make anybody envious. A style director for Los Angeles Magazine, she jets four times a year from Los Angeles to Paris, where she has not one, but three, pieds-à-terre, in three very different parts of the city.

But hers is not the story of a silver-spoon life. Rather, it is about learning to turn difficult situations into opportunities.

“In 2001, my business went under — a magazine in L.A. called Glue — and I was $100,000 in debt,” said Ms. Pike, 44, sitting on a blue pullout couch in her studio in Montmartre. Yet, four years after entering a debt-management program, Ms. Pike suddenly found herself receiving her paycheck as supervisor of fashion coverage at the influential Los Angeles monthly magazine — much more money than she had learned to rely on — and decided to invest.

I was led here by the NYT article but I have a question for you: your website claims you will only provide assistance with properties starting at 350,000 euros, but Ms. Pike's apartment cost half that amount... are you willing to offer your services for properties worth less than 350K? Thanks.
