The new real estate agency
Among the new players in real estate, we obviously find the Neo-agency which offers more flexible services. Unlike a traditional real estate agency, a neo-agency offers a commission at a fixed rate. Regardless of the value or size of the property, the commission is invariable. In addition, some neo-real estate agencies complement their listing services by estimating, organizing visits, looking for buyers, etc. The seller no longer has to deal with these tedious tasks, which allows him to devote more time to his hobbies.
Online real estate hunters
Les online real estate hunters are responsible for looking for goods on behalf of their Internet customers. Working only with buyers, they scour all channels and ads and use algorithms to automatically find the best available goods on the market. Currently, they have little (if any) competition. Using new advanced technologies as intelligence Artificial And thesemantic analysis, they are in a position to define numerous criteria to refine their selection and find rare pearls. For example, they can accurately determine what is the best-selling price per m2 by geographic area.
Real estate agents

In both cases, he offers his services on his behalf and receives a commission for each contract completed with his clients. It is a profession that is developing rapidly, with the creation of networks of regional and national representatives everywhere in France.
The “Ibuyers”
Some new players in real estate aim to simplify the real estate transaction by buying the property directly from the sellers. It is a method inspired by “instant buyers” in the United States. Through a instant shopping service, sellers in a hurry can conclude with these new agencies who buy the property with a firm offer (often below the market price), all without suspensive loan condition. Then, they take care of reselling it. The fees for this service are quite high, between 7 and 20% depending on the actors.

They are taking the decision to offer a reduced commission rate to respond to the decline in the purchasing power of French people. The services provided are in proportion to the expenses paid: for example, some agencies charge the cost of travel or the time spent making visits and convincing customers.
