Benefits of an International Buyer’s Agent

Buying a house is a lengthy and challenging process at the best of times. Add in French rules and regulations you’re not familiar with and the risks go up significantly. This is where an international buyer’s agent steps in.

Put simply, an international buyer’s agent is a licensed professional who knows all there is to know about buying real estate in France. Buyer’s agents work for you to ensure the purchase of your property is as straightforward as possible, while navigating the ins and outs of the French property market, so you don’t have to.

There are several benefits of choosing to work with an international buyer’s agent.

1. We are Your Eyes and Ears on The Ground in France

While it’s not possible to be in two places at once, it is possible to have someone representing you on the ground in France. Having us as your eyes and ears in France means you don’t need to worry about missing out on properties you might like or important updates within the industry.

2. We Save You Time

The amount of time spent buying a house can feel like taking on another full time job. Add in the extra time you need to spend researching the French property market and you’ll be up until all hours of the morning for months on end. The beauty of an international buyer’s agent is you simply tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll do the rest. You’ll save yourself a bunch of time that could be better spent with family and friends.

3. We Have Access to Off Market Properties That You Won’t Find Online

Did you know there are thousands of properties sold that don’t even make it online? This could mean your dream home is out there, but you’ll never find it during your searches. We get exclusive access to off market properties through our network connections, meaning we can show clients properties that the general public haven’t seen yet, and might never see.

4. We Know Exactly What to Look For and Will Help You Find the Perfect Property

Being experts in the field means when we go to inspections, we know to ask about the state of the building foundation, the future plans for the neighborhood, scheduled construction in the area that could be disruptive, the last time the plumbing was updated, and all those other vital questions you need answers to before you say yes.

5. We Are Expert Negotiators

There’s no awkward beating around the bush when it comes to how we negotiate your property purchase for you. It’s what we’re trained to do, and we do it well. While clients may not even consider negotiating on costs or additional add-ons for their purchase, it’s second nature for us and we drive a hard bargain to get the best results for you, every time. Also, France has arguably more micro-markets than any other country, therefore our local knowledge is indispensable for ensuring you do not overpay for your property.

6. We Know The Ins and Outs of the International Market and Speak Fluent French and English

Language barriers can cause significant delays and lead to misunderstandings when purchasing property internationally. It could even contribute to a purchase falling through at the last minute. Having a team of experts on your side who are fluent in both French and English allows for transparent and open communication every step of the way.

7. We Are Your Single Point of Contact on the Ground in France and Represent Only You

Rather than having to contact various agents, lawyers and banks, we do it all for you. As your single point of contact, everything you need to know will be coming from us throughout the entire process.

8. We Can Provide You with the Team of Professionals You Need

When purchasing property anywhere in the world, you need to have a strong team of professionals on your side, from mortgage brokers to property lawyers. With our extensive networks, we are able to connect you with industry leaders who will make sure you are well taken care of.
