oneofour clients is seeking!Nocommission isdue, because
we are paid upstream by our buyer and tenant clients.
What motivates your clients to use your services?
Our clients are people who either don’t have time to

Absolutely; but our work includes
many other things. As consultants, we advise and
assist our clients so that they canmake their purchase
in complete safety, and we accompany them through
the whole process, right up to signature of the final
agreement at the notary’s office. Also, we help them
buy at a fair price, because as we are experts in the
propertymarket,weknowhow toestimate thevalueof

How many properties do you show your clients
on average?
3 to 8 visits are enough on average.
Before that, we would have visited between 10 and
40, according to the nature and the difficulty of the
search.During that time, our clientscan relaxandkeep
aneyeon theprogress of our search, andgiveus their
feedback through theirpersonal spaceon line.Theaim
