Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Cap Ferret?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. On the peninsula, where the best villas change hands between families and through a handful of local agents before any listing exists, and where asking prices carry a premium that assumes an August mood, that independence is not a nicety; it is the difference between paying fair value for the plot and paying for the view the seller remembers.
It begins with a search mandate. Rather than a form, we start with a long conversation: what the house is for, who will use it and in which season, whether the Bassin side or the ocean side matters more, the walk to the market at the Pointe or the pontoon at L’Herbe, the ferry to Arcachon, the drive to Bordeaux-Mérignac airport, and the real budget once notaire fees, winterisation and works are honestly accounted for. From that we write a precise brief and agree the perimeter, the Pointe and Le Phare, L’Herbe, Le Canon, Piraillan and Le Grand Piquey, or the year-round villages of Claouey and Lège, before a single property reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships around the Bassin: estate agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who quietly hold inventory, private sellers, and syndics of the few small copropriétés. Every candidate is cross-checked against the DVF database of notarised sales, village by village, so we know the real value for the plot 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 timber frame, a tired roof, a punishing DPE, a struggling copropriété, and above all the coastal-erosion line near the Pointe, 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 coastal law, the PLU and the protected-site rules 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 Cap Ferret.

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.
