Real estate counter of France

What Real estate counter of France does

Comptoir Immobilier de France (CIF) is a privately-held French real estate brokerage network headquartered in Vergèze (Gard), operating as an SAS with registered capital of €8,000. It runs a hybrid agency model combining 26 physical agency locations across metropolitan France, Corsica, and Spain with a network of more than 120 independent advisors (mandataires). The company holds a French Carte Professionnelle Type T (CPI 3402 2016 000 014 347) issued by CCI GARD and maintains a €110,000 financial guarantee with Compagnie Européenne des Garanties et Cautions, in compliance with French real estate regulatory requirements. Its customer base consists of individual buyers and sellers, prestige property seekers, new-build buyers, and rental property owners, all of whom it serves through transaction-level engagements rather than long-term enterprise contracts.

The company's product portfolio spans four core services: property sales and purchases, professional estate estimation (conducted online and in-agency), rental management (delivered in partnership with Letagestion), and a dedicated prestige / luxury property line. CIF lists 1,249 active properties on its corporate website, including 1,072 for sale, 28 for rent, and 16 new-build entries. It operates a sales-led GTM, leveraging physical agencies as conversion venues and the online portal as a top-of-funnel demand engine, supplemented by email alerts, real estate portal listings, LinkedIn presence, and content marketing on market news.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform. Its technology stack is assembled entirely from third-party SaaS: Hektor (by La Boite Immo) provides transaction management and website infrastructure; Matterport, Nodalview, and Previsite provide virtual tour capability; Pricehubble, Meilleurs Agents, and Jestimo provide automated valuation analytics; Opinion System provides customer review capture; Interkab provides inter-agency collaboration; and KELKUN provides artisan referral. Revenue is generated through seller-borne transaction commissions on property sales and professional fees from rental management services, with pricing not publicly disclosed and varying by property value and transaction type. Adjacent revenue comes from referral-based financing partnerships with Crédit Agricole and Négocial Finance, and from integration with 36h Immo's notary-led online auction channel.

Direct peers

• Nestenn: French real estate franchise network with ~470 agencies providing sales, rental, and management services. Comparable hybrid model and target market to CIF.
• Laforêt: Established French real estate network with ~720 agencies offering residential brokerage, prestige (Laforêt Prestige), and management services. Comparable mid-market positioning versus CIF.
• Orpi: France's largest real estate cooperative network with ~1,400 agencies nationwide, offering the same residential sales, rental, and management services as CIF. Directly comparable on hybrid agency/mandataire model and pretige segment.
• Guy Hoquet Immobilier: French real estate franchise network with several hundred agencies providing sales, rental, and management services. Comparable to CIF on service mix and franchise/agency model.
• Century 21 France: Major international real estate franchise operating in France with ~900 agencies, offering residential brokerage, rental management, and luxury (C21 Prestige) services. Directly competes with CIF across French metropolitan markets.

Broad incumbents

• Citya: Major French property management and real estate services group (formerly part of Primonial), with strong position in rental management and transactions. Comparable on rental management and broader service offering.
• Foncia: France's largest property manager (~600 agencies) and a major residential brokerage player. Broader incumbent that overlaps with CIF on rental management and transactions but with national scale.
• Square Habitat: Real estate brand of Crédit Agricole Immobilier with national coverage. Comparable to CIF on the residential brokerage and mortgage-financing bundle, leveraging Crédit Agricole's branch network.

Others

• SeLoger: Leading French property listing portal (owned by AVIV Group). While not a broker, SeLoger is a critical online channel CIF depends on for buyer lead generation and is a key competitor for digital listing attention.

Emerging players

• IAD France: Fast-growing French proptech-driven network of independent mandataires with no physical agencies. Represents the asset-light threat to CIF's agency-heavy model and illustrates competitive pressure on traditional agencies.
