What Leggett Immobilier does

Leggett Immobilier is a French residential real estate agency network founded in 2000 by Trevor Leggett and headquartered in La Rochebeaucourt-et-Argentine, Dordogne, operating under the legal entity SARL Leggett Immobilier (RCS Périgueux 434 086 930). The firm runs a hybrid distribution model combining 14+ owned branch offices and 650-800 independent commercial agents across France, supported by a headquarters team handling centralized functions. Its core technology stack consists of a web-based property platform with a proprietary AI-assisted CRM (the Hestia agent extranet), 360-degree virtual tour integration, and automated syndication to 150+ international property portals. The platform lists 10,000+ active properties across rural, secondary residence, prestige, and ski segments. The company is the only major French real estate network born outside of major cities and is positioned as the leader in French secondary residences, serving both French buyers and a 54% international clientele spanning 58+ nationalities. Sub-brands extend the platform: Leggett Prestige (luxury estates via Hamptons International partnership), Leggett Ski (alpine properties), and Leggett Property Management (concierge and seasonal rental services launched in 2021).

The business model is primarily transactional. Commission on property sales is the dominant revenue stream, with seller fees structured as percentage tiers by price band (6-10% standard, 5-9% city rate for urban areas of 50,000+ inhabitants). Pricing is inclusive of 20% VAT and varies by transaction size, ranging from a €5,500-6,600 flat fee on lower-value transactions to 6% on transactions above €200,000-300,000. Leggett Property Management, launched in 2021, introduces a recurring managed-services revenue line through seasonal rental and concierge services for absent second-home owners. The go-to-market combines sales-led field operations (dedicated agent matching by geographic sector, with same-day lead response and a call center handling 500+ daily inquiries), enterprise-level servicing for prestige and commercial clients, and event-driven acquisition through international property exhibitions and webinars. The €1M annual marketing budget (approximately 10% of revenue) funds SEO, paid search, social media (including a YouTube channel claimed as the #1 French estate agency channel), the quarterly Leggett Magazine, and the exclusive Hamptons International partnership providing access to a 150,000+ UK client database. Growth is sourced from a 1,300+ business introducer referral network, international portal syndication, and the company's 25-year brand equity built through consistent international press coverage.
