MeCaza

What MeCaza does

MeCaza is a French real estate hunting (chasse immobilière) service that connects property seekers with a network of 80+ independent local property hunters operating across France and, more recently, Spain. Founded in 2021 and operating as a consumer-facing brand under Apollo Immobilier SAS (Strasbourg), the company offers four core service lines: rental property hunting, purchase property hunting, investment property hunting, and supplementary modules for corporate relocation, commercial office search, and cross-border acquisitions. The platform serves individual home buyers, rental seekers, real estate investors, expatriates, and corporate clients, with all services anchored by legally compliant search mandates (mandats de recherche) under the French Loi Hoguet. The company holds the professional real estate card CPI67012022000000044 issued by the CCI de Strasbourg and RC Pro liability insurance with AXA.

The business model is entirely success-based transaction fees, with no disclosed proprietary technology beyond standard third-party tools (Pipedrive for CRM, Calendly for scheduling, Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads for marketing, Cookiebot/Usercentrics for GDPR consent). Pricing is structured by service type: rental search at €999-€1,800 across three tiers (Relocation, Premium, VIP), purchase search at 2.5-3.5% of purchase price plus 20% of negotiated amount (with a €7,900-€9,900 minimum), new-build purchases at 0% to the buyer (developer-paid), and investment property search at 4% of purchase price (minimum €7,900). The company also operates a 10% referral commission program (apporteur d'affaires). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the website, phone, and a sales-led motion with discovery calls.

MeCaza differentiates through claimed access to 15%+ off-market and exclusive inventory not available on public portals, a 4.8/5 Google rating across 2,800+ served clients, and notable media presence on TF1, Capital, Le Parisien, Radio Immo, and Figaro Immo. The company is led by Arnaud Laudy, President of Apollo Immobilier. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed; ownership appears to remain with the founder-led parent entity.

Core offering

MeCaza provides real estate hunting (chasse immobilière) services that delegate the property search process to a network of 80+ independent local hunters across France and Spain. Hunters search the full market including off-market and exclusive listings, conduct property visits, perform due diligence, negotiate prices, and accompany clients through the entire transaction from initial brief to deed signing. The service covers rental, purchase, and investment property searches for individual consumers, with additional modules for corporate relocation, commercial office search, and expatriates.

Product overview

MeCaza is a private real estate hunting platform connecting buyers, renters, and investors with a network of over 80 independent property hunters across France and Spain. The offering is organized around three core hunting services — Rental Property Hunting (chasse locative), Purchase Property Hunting (chasse à l'achat), and Investment Property Hunting (chasse à l'investissement) — which share a common methodology of off-market sourcing, pre-visits, expert negotiation, and full accompaniment through to signing. Two supplementary modules extend the core: an International Buyer Service for expatriates and foreign buyers seeking French property remotely, and a Spain Property Purchase service for cross-border acquisitions. Corporate clients are served through a Relocation module for employee housing and a Commercial Office Search module for Paris-based business premises. All hunting services are anchored by legally compliant search mandates (mandats de recherche) governed by the Loi Hoguet. The platform differentiates through exclusive off-market property access (15%+ of inventory), a turnkey accompaniment model, and a performance-based fee structure (success-based pricing with refund guarantees on rentals).
