What CityScan does
CityScan is a French software-as-a-service company providing automated real estate valuation and lead generation tools for property professionals. It operates as a subsidiary of Septeo Group, the third-largest French software publisher dedicated to real estate professionals, which serves roughly 30,000 real estate professionals across 15,000 agencies. The company's product suite is organized around four subscription modules that cover the full transaction lifecycle: Avis de Valeur Marché (market value opinions generated in approximately 5 minutes, priced from €39 HT/month with unlimited usage), Avis de Valeur Locatif (rental value opinions for property management mandates), Captation de leads (seller lead capture with a pre-estimation widget, from €30 HT/month), and Valorisation de bien (interactive neighborhood mapping for listing pages, from €50 HT/month). Revenue is generated through monthly recurring subscriptions denominated in Euros for the French market.
The platform is built on an API-first architecture that supports both standalone self-service access through the cityscan.fr website and embedded deployment within partner software. CityScan integrates natively with four major French real estate software platforms—Apimo, Netty, Modelo, and S—allowing third-party tools to embed its valuation capabilities directly into agent workflows. The underlying technology combines structured real estate data with automated valuation models to produce customizable, branded reports in real time, and the company also offers a developer-facing API suite ('API's CityScan') for programmatic integration. Distribution combines direct self-service registration, partner-embedded deployment, and Septeo's enterprise sales network.
In 2024, CityScan announced a strategic transition, rebranding to 'Modelo Insight' and consolidating into the broader Modelo suite within Septeo. This move repositions CityScan from an independent product brand toward a tighter integration within Septeo's real estate software portfolio. The company is privately held, operates exclusively in France, and has not disclosed revenue figures; the underlying funding rounds cited in the source data (Serra Ventures, Origin Ventures, 2012–2014) appear to reference a separate US-based entity sharing the CityScan name, and are not attributable to the French real estate valuation business described above.
