If you want to hire our team to find that unique house on the French Riviera, we offer our clients two options:
Property Search via Our Portal
This option gives you access and complete guidance to properties listed by our partner agencies. It is limited to the properties within our network, but you will enjoy our full-service assistance 24/7, from selection, visits, negotiations, and notary.
Hiring Us as Your Buying Broker or Buyer Agent
We provide a full-market search including off-market properties. The French real estate market is split between agency-led sales (likely 65-75%) and private sales (25-35%), with notaries supporting both. There’s also a part that is off-market and is not advertised online. And we have the property owners who hate agencies and advertise themselves on websites like leboncoin and pap (particulier a particulier). With us as your buying broker, you can access the full market. Only for properties outside the official market where a real estate agent is not involved, you pay us 2% commission. That’s always less than when an agent is involved.

How Our Buying Broker Service Works
– We are not tied to any specific agency meaning we can search across all agencies, private listings, and off-market opportunities.
– Unlike standard agents who only show their own listings, we actively seek out the best properties for you, no matter where they are listed. If you want to buy in a specific residence and nothing is available, we’ll talk to the concierge and the gardener to get inside information about who might want to sell.
Why This Matters for You
✅ Full market access – No missed opportunities, including off-market deals.
✅ More negotiation power – We represent your interests exclusively, ensuring you get the best deal.
✅ Expert guidance – We manage the entire process, from search to signing, making your property purchase seamless.
