Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Bordeaux?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Bordeaux, where the finest apartments in the Triangle d’Or and the best échoppes of Caudéran often sell within a network before any listing appears, and where asking prices are still set with the boom years in mind, that independence is not a nicety; it is the difference between paying fair value and paying the seller’s memory of 2021.
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, the light and the ceiling heights that matter, the walk to the Marché des Capucins or the Jardin Public, the tram line to the office or the school, the drive to Bordeaux-Mérignac airport, the TGV from Saint-Jean, 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 Triangle d’Or and Saint-Pierre, the Chartrons, Saint-Seurin, Caudéran and Nansouty, before a single property reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships across the Gironde: 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. Every candidate is cross-checked against the DVF database of notarised sales, street by street, so we know the real value for the building rather than 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 in a stone cellar, a failing roof, a punishing DPE, a copropriété in difficulty, a plot in the Garonne flood zone, before you fly.
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 constraints of the protected centre 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 Bordeaux.

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.
