About
Welcome. I’m Glad You’re Here.
I’m Magdalena Buchardt. I write as Maggie Mark and am the founder of Riviera State of Mind™, a private property, relocation and strategic advisory focused on Monaco, the French Riviera and the Italian Riviera.
I work with private buyers, investors, owners and trusted professionals across luxury residential real estate, selected off-market opportunities, hotels and hospitality.
I also help property, hospitality and advisory businesses strengthen their positioning, content and visibility.
With more than 25 years of expatriate experience and a background spanning finance, marketing, writing, strategy and real estate, I understand that important decisions are rarely about numbers alone. A property is more than an address, and a relocation changes far more than a postcode.
Riviera State of Mind™ also publishes carefully researched guides for those considering Monaco, the Côte d’Azur or the Italian Riviera - looking at the realities of living, buying, investing and building a life here.
This is the Riviera beyond the listings: informed decisions, considered opportunities and relationships handled with discretion.

Monaco Relocation Guide
Residency, Property, Banking, Taxation and Everyday Life in the Principality
Monaco is usually presented through its most dazzling images: the harbour, the architecture, the Grand Prix and its polished Mediterranean lifestyle. Living there, however, involves a far more practical set of decisions.
The Monaco Relocation Guide 2026 provides clear, research-led guidance on residency, neighbourhoods, renting and buying property, banking, taxation, healthcare, education, employment, business, transport, security, local etiquette and the practicalities of settling in.
Created for internationally mobile individuals, professionals, families, retirees, buyers and investors, it combines careful research with first-hand expatriate experience and regional knowledge. It looks beyond the familiar glamour to explain how Monaco works as a place to live - and the questions worth asking before making an important personal or financial decision.
Whether you are preparing to relocate, considering property or simply deciding whether Monaco is right for you, this guide will help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
2026 digital edition | Downloadable PDF | Includes a six-month relocation checklist
