Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Lourmarin?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Lourmarin, where only a handful of houses change hands each year, where the best of them are sold by word of mouth before any portal sees them, and where asking prices are set for an international clientele that rarely negotiates, that independence is not a nicety; it is the difference between paying fair value and paying the seller’s optimism.
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 a terrace in the lanes or land and a pool outside the village, the walk to the Friday market and the château, the drive to Aix-en-Provence TGV or to Marseille Provence airport, 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 village core, the château quarter, the Aigues valley vineyards, the Luberon foothills toward Bonnieux and the neighbouring villages of Cucuron and Vaugines, before a single property reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships across the Luberon: estate agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who quietly hold inventory, private sellers, and the craftsmen and caretakers who hear of a house before anyone else. Every candidate is cross-checked against the national DVF database of notarised sales, so we know the real value for the lane, not the brochure price, in a market where a few sales 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 in old stone, a failing roof, a punishing DPE, wildfire rules on rural plots, 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 Bâtiments de France and Luberon regional park constraints 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 Lourmarin.

Renovation project management
Ynspir runs the works end to end. The fee is calculated on the works budget and covers design, quotes, artisans and site supervision.
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.
