FRENCH RIVIERA HOUSE HUNTING

We are property search agents exclusively acting on behalf of the buyer who we fully assist during the entire purchasing process.

With our property knowledge and very extensive experience of the French Riviera property market, and our ability to understand the cultural and practical differences between our clients countries and the French Riviera, we are the best possible negotiator to help foreign clients to safely, efficiently and effectively purchase the right property on the right place in the French Riviera.

We are able to source off-market thanks to the close ties we have with estate agencies, local intermediaries such as lawyers, private bankers, investment managers and direct sellers.

We are different from traditional real estate agents

A real estate agent only sells the properties from his own limited database while the buyers’ agent has access to almost all the properties for sale on the French Riviera.

Furthermore, a real estate agent works for the seller, while we are fully dedicated to buyers and we only have their interests at heart.

We are fully dedicated to the buyer, we search for the buyer, we select for the buyer, we negotiate for the buyer and we close the deal with the buyer. In a few words, we act as real estate personal shoppers.

BUILDING A NEW WAY OF DOING REAL ESTATE IN FRANCE

The real estate system in France and specially in the French Riviera is somewhat archaic. Unlike in the United State, for example, there is not a global listing of house on sale which facilitates the house search for the buyer’s agent.

On the contrary, when looking for a property in France, you have to visits dozens of websites, walk in many different agencies, etc. The search becomes a nightmare.

Our objective is to change the existing system by providing new kinds of services to our clients and establishing a multitude of collaboration paths with other agencies and slowly transform the system to a much friendly user one.

RESTORING THE LEGITIMACY OF REAL ESTATE AGENTS

In France, up to 30% of people no longer hire real estate agencies to buy or sell their property as they consider that the agents do not provide a sufficient and quality service although charging high commissions. This catastrophic image is also valid for foreign buyers who are totally lost and poorly assisted by these same agents.

It is clear that the real estate agencies themselves have largely contributed to building this negative image: low quality ads with few or failed photos, no customer reminders, forcing sales, no customer follow-up, etc.

At FRH we provide our clients with a complete service, total support, high- performance tools and permanent availability.

We aim for excellence in the service provided to the client because we are convinced that, unlike agencies which lower their commissions to ridiculous levels, as they fail to provide an appropriate service, we must keep a correct commission level corresponding to a high quality of services.
