What sets us apart

Pre-viewings

Your hunter visits properties before you do. Photos, video and technical analysis mean you only travel for the gems.

Off-market access

15% of the properties we find come from off-market sources. Our network of 15,000 partners opens doors that are otherwise closed.

Negotiation

Our market knowledge means we typically secure a 6% reduction on the asking price, often more than the fee itself.

Full support

We don't disappear once the offer is accepted. Preliminary contract, financing, the notary, the keys: we are with you all the way.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a search take?

On average, our searches complete in 45 days, from mandate to accepted offer. Total time to the keys is three to four months, the standard interval between preliminary contract and completion.

How many properties will I view?

On average, five to eight viewings are enough to find the right property. Your hunter pre-views 20 to 30 to spare you unnecessary trips.

Does the hunter come with me to viewings?

Yes, always. Your hunter flags points worth your attention, asks the right questions of the agent or owner, and helps you assess the property objectively.

Can I change my criteria during the search?

Of course. A search is an iterative process. As viewings progress, you refine what you want. Your hunter adjusts the brief accordingly.
