Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Bonifacio?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Bonifacio, where only a few dozen sales close each year, where the finest villas change hands between families and their notaires before any portal sees them, and where asking prices are written for a summer clientele that rarely negotiates, that independence is not a nicety; it is the difference between paying fair value and paying for the photograph.
It begins with a search mandate. Rather than a form, we start with a long conversation: what the home is for, who will use it and in which season, whether you want the citadel lanes or a pool among the maquis, a mooring in the marina, the drive to Figari airport or to the ferry for Sardinia, how the house will be looked after in winter, and the real budget once notaire fees and works are honestly accounted for. From that we write a precise brief and agree the perimeter, the Haute Ville, the marina, Sperone and Piantarella, the bay of Santa Manza and the hamlets toward Porto-Vecchio, before a single property reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships across southern Corsica: estate agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who quietly hold inventory, private sellers, and the caretakers who hear of a house before it is advertised. Every candidate is cross-checked against the national DVF database of notarised sales, so we know the real value for the sector, not the brochure price, where a few deeds can distort any average. You receive short, curated selections with our honest verdict, floor plans and video walk-throughs filmed on site. We view on your behalf and flag the deal-breakers, damp, a failing roof, a punishing DPE, an unclear title, cliff-erosion or coastal-law limits, before you book a flight.
Because our Ynspir architects sit at the same table, a property that needs work is assessed for renovation before you offer, with a realistic budget on paper and the heritage rules of the citadel and the coastal-law limits factored in. When you decide, we build the offer file, negotiate on results and coordinate the compromis de vente and the notaire in English. Found by Montclair, shaped by Ynspir, one mandate, your interest alone, from the first search to the finished home in Bonifacio.

Starting rates. Your exact fee depends on the brief and on the scope of the works, and is agreed in writing before anything begins. No fee is due if we do not find your property.
