Univers City Immo

What Univers City Immo does

Univers City Immo is a French real estate agency network operating under the legal entity FXGIMMO SAS (Siret 85211835500019), headquartered in Les Sorinières and serving the Pays de la Loire region — specifically Loire-Atlantique (44), Maine-et-Loire (49), Sarthe (72), and Vendée (85). Founded around 2020 by François-Xavier BUREAU and co-founded by Marc Guinfard, the company runs a franchise-style model built around 400+ independent property advisors (conseillers indépendants), each holding their own RSAC commercial registration. Core services cover the full residential and partial commercial property lifecycle: buying (apartments, houses, land, villas, prestige properties), selling (with free 48-hour valuation and optional exclusive or simple mandates), and rental (residential and professional spaces). Distribution relies on a standard agency website with property search and CRM, supplemented by listings syndicated across 60+ third-party portals to maximize visibility.

The business model is transaction-commission based, with agency fees typically ranging from 3.5% to 6% TTC of the sale price paid by the buyer upon completion, plus rental management fees. A secondary, structurally important line of business is the Qualiopi-certified internal training center (Centre de Formation Qualiopi), which delivers multi-week theoretical and practical programs to onboard new independent advisors — converting training capacity into network growth. Strategic partners span home builders (Maison Tradilignes, Maisons de l'Avenir, Trecobat, Urbatys, Vanetys), notaries, valuation experts (B2I Expertises), renovation contractors (Cuisine et Agencements, Dominique-Charles), and technology partner GE360. Marketing is multi-channel (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, blog, local events such as the Foire des Sorinières), targeting individual buyers, sellers, and renters in the western French residential market. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, with no disclosed external investment, no public listing, and no revenue disclosure.
