Why a property hunter when you're an expat

Time zone différence

Paris properties sell within 48 hours. From abroad, reaction time is too slow. Your hunter acts in real time on your behalf.

Inability to visit

Flying in for every viewing isn't realistic. Our live video viewings give you everything you need to decide.

Administrative complexity

Purchase agreements, conditions precedent, diagnostics: the French legal framework is dense. We decode every step.

No local network

Without a network of agencies and contacts, you miss the best opportunities. Our network opens every door.

Complex financing

Getting a mortgage as a non-resident requires a specific file. Our partner brokers specialize in international profiles.

100% remote support

Video viewings

Live or recorded, with a complete tour of the property, the building and the neighbourhood.

Detailed reports

HD photos, video, technical property analysis, co-ownership study and charges breakdown.

Remote negotiation

Reasoned offer, price and conditions negotiation, without you having to travel.

Notarial power of attorney

Preliminary contract and final deed by proxy. Coordination with the notary and your lawyer.

Specialist broker

They bought from abroad

"From Dubai, everything was managed remotely. The video viewings were extremely detailed. We signed by proxy and got the keys to our pied-à-terre in the 6th without a single round trip."

Alexandre & Sarah K.

Pied-à-terre from Dubai, 6th arr.

"Back from New York after 8 years, we needed a family apartment fast. In 5 weeks, it was done. The hunter managed everything while we were still in the US."

Frequently asked questions

How can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?

Several French banks finance non-residents, typically with a 20-30% deposit. Our specialist broker partners optimize your application.

Can I buy without travelling to Paris?

Yes, this is common. Live video viewings, video reports, notarial power of attorney: the entire process can be done remotely.
