Guy Hoquet

What Guy Hoquet does

Guy Hoquet L'Immobilier is France's third-largest franchised real estate network, operating 900+ agencies nationwide and serving individual consumers transacting in residential property. The company's core products span the full transaction lifecycle: buying, selling, renting, investing, and property management, augmented by in-house services (diagnostics, insurance, financing negotiation, wealth/estate audit) and guarantee products (Protection Revente, Loyers Impayés, Bailleur, Prix de Vente Garanti, Le Pass Acquéreur). The technology layer consists of a corporate website with property listings, a free online property estimator built on comparable transaction data, the GH Location Observatory (rental market analysis across 15 major portals), and internal franchise management systems.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (i) transaction commissions from buying, selling, and renting properties facilitated through the franchise network, with the network conducting 33,800 transactions per year; (ii) recurring property management and rental guarantee fees paid by landlords; and (iii) franchise fees and ongoing franchise support revenue from network operators. Pricing for transactional customers is not publicly disclosed, while ancillary diagnostic services are passed through at rates from €10 (ERP) to €220 (lead), with full diagnostic packs ranging €300-700 depending on property type. Go-to-market is multi-channel: 900+ physical agencies, the corporate website, content/SEO marketing via the property estimator and rental observatory, email newsletters, and franchise-led local marketing.

The legal entity, GUY HOQUET L'IMMOBILIER, is a private French société headquartered in Gentilly and operates under parent company Arche Group, with Stéphane Fritz as President. The company is currently expanding internationally (first non-France location in Quebec, Canada, in April 2026), building an internal education institution (GH Business School with Bachelor and Executive MBA programs), and deploying AI-assisted training in partnership with Brainsonic — initiatives that broaden both the capability base and revenue surface beyond traditional residential brokerage commissions.
