After the condemnation of the animator to twelve months of suspended imprisonment for “domestic violence”, which occurred last February, certain real estate agents had then asked that the name of their brand changed because the judicial affair targeting the friend of Karine the merchant impacted the company strongly. “What they want today is to go out smoothly and to be able to put another brand because they face refusals of mandates, sellers who ask them to remove the panels for sale ‘Stéphane Plaza’”, explained last February, a lawyer specializing in real estate law at the South Radio media. Stéphane Plaza: What is the new name offered for his agencies? If the host had spoke with the franchisees and had tried to reassure them, it unfortunately was not enough. This Thursday, April 17, as the La Provence newspaper said, an internal meeting took place in Stéphane Plaza Immobilier, led by Gilles Charron (the president of Stéphane Plaza France), and Henri de Fontaines (from the M6 group). And during this videoconference, the two men then proposed a solution to the franchisees: to change the name of the agencies that wish. Thus, the agencies wishing to be associated with the animator could take the name of “6th avenue, real estate by M6”, reveals the newspaper.
