There are a lot of “Do-It-Yourselfers” of real estate out there. They love to handle various aspects of property transactions and management themselves, rather than hiring an exclusive buyer’s agent or a search agent. If you are one of those international DIYers, you have most certainly come to realize that the French luxury real estate market presents formidable complexities. These challenges intensify when managing the search & acquisition remotely across time zones and languages:

  1. Market opacity
  2. Inflated pricing
  3. Transactional disadvantage
  4. You are on your own. Local agents actually work for the seller, not you.

This Advisory service, provided remotely and aimed at international buyers of €1.5M+ property in France, addresses those challenges.

This remote service includes:

  • Providing you with market analysis and comparative assessment
  • Assisting you with offer preparation and negotiation strategy
  • Reviewing “compromis/promesse de vente” terms
  • Recommending experts in financing and ownership structuring
  • Informing and advising you throughout the acquisition timeline

It doesn’t include: performing site visits, communicating with parties (e.g., agents, notaries…), or attending signings

What’s in it for you

  • You’ll negotiate purchase price reductions based on strategic guidance and market intelligence that typically exceed advisory fees many times over.
  • You’ll avoid acquisitions that would have proven fundamentally flawed.
  • You’ll possess comprehensive information and expert guidance to make complex, strategic decisions with confidence.
  • You’ll save precious time (e.g., researching legal frameworks, decoding market signals, or second-guessing strategic decisions).

It’s a consultancy service

  • It means that I will be your personal consultant who informs and advises you remotely.
  • The consultancy relationship will be established in writing with a consultancy agreement.

Fees

  • Fees are borne by you (i.e., the buyer).
  • 50% are payable upfront. 50% are only payable in case of success.

This service is best for

  • International UHNW individuals or families managing acquisitions remotely who require comprehensive guidance without excessive time commitment.
  • Global investors requiring independent, expert counsel rather than transactional representation.
