Direct peers

• Engel & Völkers: Hamburg-based international real estate franchise specializing in premium and luxury properties across Europe and the Middle East. Closely comparable to IBP in offering cross-border brokerage, multilingual advisory, and a focus on high-value residential transactions across multiple European and Gulf markets.
• Sotheby's International Realty: Global luxury real estate brand affiliated with the Sotheby's auction house, with affiliate offices across Europe and the Middle East. Comparable to IBP on premium and international cross-border property transactions, particularly for buyers moving between Brussels, Mediterranean, and Gulf markets.
• Coldwell Banker: Long-established US-rooted international real estate franchise with affiliates in Europe and the Middle East. Comparable to IBP on commission-based residential brokerage, agent network growth model, and cross-border property search tools.
• Knight Frank: UK-headquartered international real estate consultancy with offices across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Comparable to IBP on residential sales, international buyer advisory, and investment consulting for cross-border HNW clients moving between Western Europe and the Gulf.
• Barnes International Realty: Paris-based luxury international real estate agency with a network spanning Europe (France, Belgium, Italy, Greece) and the Middle East. Closely comparable to IBP in serving HNW buyers, multilingual advisory, and offering investment and property management services in similar geographies.
• RE/MAX: Global franchise real estate network with dense agent presence in Belgium, Greece, and the UAE. Directly competes with IBP on residential sales, rentals, and franchise-driven agent recruitment, and is the most widespread commission-based brokerage model comparable to IBP's GTM.
• Century 21: International real estate franchise with strong European footprint, including franchisees operating in Belgium, Greece, and the Gulf. Directly competes on transaction-based brokerage and franchise-driven agent scaling, with a comparable consumer-facing brand and property listing approach.

Regional players

• Immoweb: Belgium's dominant property listing portal and a key distribution channel where IBP's properties appear. Comparable as the principal Belgian real estate marketplace defining buyer discovery and lead generation; it is an adjacent channel rather than a direct brokerage competitor.

Others

• Patron Capital Partners (operating through local agencies): Pan-European real estate investor active in Belgium and Greece, representing institutional capital that competes for the same cross-border investment mandates IBP targets. Included as an institutional counterparty adjacent to IBP's investor client base rather than as a direct brokerage peer.

Emerging players

• Properstar: Switzerland-based international property portal aggregating listings across Europe and the Middle East, including Belgium, Greece, and UAE. Partially comparable as an emerging tech-enabled player competing for cross-border buyer leads, though it operates as a portal rather than a full-service brokerage.
