What Colomer Expertises does

Colomer Expertises is an independent French commercial real estate appraisal firm founded in 2007 by Patrick Colomer. The firm provides specialized property valuation services focused on commercial assets, including rental values, leasehold rights (droit au bail), goodwill (fonds de commerce), eviction compensation, and market values. Its client base spans French and international property owners, tenants, investors, and legal professionals engaged in commercial real estate transactions, disputes, and litigation support.

The firm operates from offices in Paris (4 rue Castellane, 75008) and Bordeaux (75 rue Chevalier, 33000), supported by a team of approximately 17-20 professionals carrying dual legal and financial credentials. Colomer Expertises applies both the French Charte de l'Expertise and RICS Red Book standards, and lead expert Patrick Colomer holds approval from the Cour de Cassation — a credential held by a limited number of appraisal professionals in France. The firm is a member of the Praxi Valuation European network, extending its cross-border reach for international mandates. Multiple team members are registered on the CNEJI list and hold MRICS certification, supporting both domestic litigation work and RICS-compliant international engagements.

The business model is project-based professional services, with engagements typically commissioned by property owners, tenants, investors, or legal counsel for valuation opinions, expert reports, and litigation support. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service engagements rather than recurring contracts. The firm differentiates through specialized expertise in commercial lease valuation and through its leadership's standing in French courts, which is uncommon among competing boutique firms. Forward growth has come through organic senior hiring (2019-2023), regional office openings, and the addition of an agricultural valuation vertical in 2023.
