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.

Real estate agents

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.

After several months of research (in a very targeted neighborhood), I decided to call on Talk to me about Paris to get out of this spiral of visits that were not successful. An investment that proved to be very effective since I made an offer at the end of the 5th visit.
Great experience with Talk to me about Paris. Patrick is a professional who accompanies his clients very well in the search for their future place to live. Very attentive, he creates a favourable environment that encourages exchanges with the various stakeholders.
The agency was able to perfectly identify our needs and found us the apartment that ticked all the boxes in a few days and at first glance when we had been looking for several months. Beyond efficiency: professionalism, expertise, availability and a lot of people.
