Private-sale purchase negotiation — across France

The asking priceis not the final price.

You have found the property. From there I take over the negotiation: I deal directly with the seller and obtain the lowest price they will accept. I am paid only on what you save.

The context

Rates are rising.
The price can be negotiated.

Over twenty years, the average rate has risen from around 3.17% at the start of the year to 3.66% in October 2026. On a €300,000 loan that is almost €75 more every month, roughly €18,000 over the life of the loan.

You do not set the rate. You do influence the purchase price. Getting around €13,000 off that same property brings your monthly payment back exactly to where it was before the rise. And unlike a rate, a price reduction is permanent: it lowers the capital borrowed, the interest, the notary fees and the property tax.

Why me

Three reasons to hand me the price

No attachment to the property

You already picture your furniture in it. I see only a price, comparable sales and a seller to convince. That detachment is worth tens of thousands of euros.

Paid on results only

No file fee, no upfront package. If I obtain no reduction, you owe me nothing.

24 years on the other side of the table

I defended sellers' prices throughout my career, through two market downturns. I know what makes a seller give way, and I can spot the one who can no longer afford to wait.
