The new real estate players: who are they?
These new real estate players are disrupting the market and are positioning themselves as real alternatives to traditional real estate agencies. Cheaper prices, shorter deadlines, unique offers: find out who these innovative companies are in the real estate sector.
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.
Low cost real estate agencies
Finally, of new players in real estate made their appearance with the so-called low cost agencies. 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. Others Real estate start-ups offer fixed fees for a service pack: everything depends on your needs.

Great collaboration with Patrick Martinez! Very professional, relevant and friendly, I highly recommend him.
I needed support for this real estate project due to lack of time and the need to be reassured when choosing the property. I opted for Tell me about Paris, and I don't regret it. Susan who helped me was perfect. Always responsive and with good advice, she helped me well in the procedures and the research, she was always present, which allowed me to quickly find a very interesting property and in Paris what was unexpected for me. I highly recommend their support!
Not living in Paris, we called on Susan from Talk to me about Paris to find our footing. The exchanges were very pleasant thanks to her quality of listening, her availability, her professionalism, her responsiveness and her interpersonal skills. Its assets served our research and we were lucky enough to quickly find the rare pearl despite our requirements. Her knowledge of the Parisian market meant that she directed us to a neighborhood that we did not have the idea of selecting and we do not regret for a second having listened to her.
