Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Cassis?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Cassis, where a handful of villas and harbour-view apartments change hands each year, mostly by word of mouth, and where asking prices are set for buyers who fall in love on a July afternoon, 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 month, whether you need to see the water from the terrace or simply walk to it, the stroll to the quay or the Place Baragnon market, the train into Marseille, the drive 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 old port and its lanes, the Presqu’île, the Bestouan, Les Janots and the vineyard slopes, before a single property reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships along this coast: estate agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who quietly hold inventory, private sellers, and syndics who know which apartments are about to come to market. We cross-check every candidate against the DVF database of notarised sales, so we know the real value for the street, not the brochure price. You receive short, curated selections with our honest verdict on each, 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, a copropriété in difficulty, or a plot frozen by the Calanques park and the coastal law, before you ever 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, PLU and coastal constraints already 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 Cassis.

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.
