We will find it for you!

We do the search for you!

At first, it's really fun to browse online for charming houses on the Côte d'Azur or to view the first properties while on vacation. But at some point, you realize: the market is huge, the search area is often far too large, your budget isn't yet entirely clear, and communicating with French real estate agents isn't all that easy.

Furthermore, addresses in France are usually not revealed — and sometimes the “dream house” you traveled all the way for turns out to be a disappointment, located right on a noisy street.

The good news: We do the search for you!

No additional costs for you as a buyer

If you commission us exclusively with the search, we share this commission with the agent representing the seller—which means no extra costs for you! And the best part:

We can show you ANY property in the region!

While we do have our own properties in our portfolio, unlike traditional real estate agents, we're not limited to our own portfolio. We search the entire market for you. We work with all local real estate agents in the region. This gives you access to virtually every property in the region—even off-market properties that aren't publicly listed.

How much is the broker's commission?

In France, the broker's commission is usually 6% of the purchase price. Unlike in Germany, however, it is already included in the advertised asking price and is paid by the seller! If this is not the case, this must be disclosed in the ad ("charge vendeur" = seller pays commission, "charge aquereur" = buyer pays commission).

What are the first steps?

After discussing your search criteria and budget together, you can easily sign the exclusive search mandate digitally. We will then regularly present properties that match your requirements. You are also welcome to send us links to listings you have found yourself (the easiest way is via WhatsApp), and we will gather further information for you and contact the relevant agencies.

The sightseeing tour

After a certain amount of time, the selection is narrowed down to your favorites, and we organize a joint tour, usually in collaboration with several local real estate agents. A viewing tour can typically visit two to five properties per day—depending on your schedule, location, and travel times.

Because we put a lot of effort into preparation, these tours with our clients are very efficient and often lead to quick success. It's also an excellent opportunity to get to know the area better.

The exclusive search assignment

The exclusive search mandate is a brief contract between you as the buyer and us as the real estate agent. It sets out your search criteria and budget, and you officially authorize us to search for a suitable property on your behalf. This mandate primarily serves to secure our claim to the real estate agent's commission—nothing more, nothing less. We provide this document in French or English (unfortunately, not available in German).

Why is a search mandate necessary at all?

We fully understand that you don't want to sign a contract immediately, but would prefer to start on a basis of trust. However, in France, we usually share the commission with another agency. As soon as you click "Request more information" on a French ad, you are taken directly to the agency's database. They can then claim that you are already their client and no longer share the commission with us—which often makes working together impossible.

With the exclusive search mandate, you expressly become "our" client, both to other agencies and to owners selling their property off-market. It's essentially your ticket to all available properties—with us as your reliable partner at your side.

What does “exclusive” mean?

"Exclusive" means that from this point on, your search will be conducted exclusively through us, and you will no longer contact any other real estate agents or agencies directly. Important: You only pay our commission if we are successful. If you cancel your search or do not purchase a house, no commission will be charged. However, if you decide to purchase, this will be handled through us.

How long am I bound?

We usually start with a personal meeting on-site or via video. Don't worry: We don't have any restrictive contracts. The initial contract runs for one month and then automatically renews for additional months until terminated. There's no notice period—you can terminate the contract at any time. To be honest, though, that's never happened before.

Who pays the brokerage commission?

Technically, the seller in France bears the broker's commission, which is already included in the asking price. In practice, however, it is always the buyer who pays it, as the seller factors the commission into their asking price.

Good to know: The final purchase price is often significantly lower than the original asking price — so much is a matter of negotiation.

With the exclusive search mandate, you agree to pay the broker's commission as the buyer. This even offers a small tax advantage for you, which we would be happy to explain to you personally. Important: You will not pay more commission than usual—there are no additional costs. Our commission is only due if the property is successful!
