TERCIM

What TERCIM does

TERCIM is a French commercial and tertiary real estate brokerage and advisory firm founded in 2009 and headquartered at 70 Avenue de l'hippodrome, Caen, Normandy. It operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the SEDELKA group, a diversified real estate group, and focuses exclusively on the commercial segment — offices, retail premises, and activity/warehouse spaces — across two French regions: Normandy (Caen, Le Havre, Saint-Contest, Bretteville-sur-Odon, Ifs, Epron, Fleury-sur-Orne) and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Lyon, Craponne, Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure). The firm is staffed by 1-10 employees, with named agents Martial GRAS covering the Caen area and Alexandre CAMPILLO covering Lyon.

TERCIM's core offering is structured around three property categories — Bureaux (offices), Locaux commerciaux (retail premises), and Activités / Entrepôts (activity and warehouse spaces) — each available for purchase (achat) and rental (location). The firm has also introduced two adjacent service lines: a commercial real estate investment advisory practice covering SCI, SCPI, and crowdfunding structures, and a property management service for owners. The technology layer is minimal, consisting of a WordPress-based website with property listing pages, search filters by category and city, and standard contact forms. There is no proprietary platform, mobile application, or API. Marketing runs primarily through the company website's SEO-optimized listing pages and a content blog, supplemented by direct phone and email sales channels ([email protected], individual agent lines).

TERCIM earns revenue through transaction commissions: percentage-based fees on sales (typically 3-9% + VAT, charged to buyer) and fixed agency fees on leases (e.g., €9,000 HT charged to tenant). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly standardized. The firm is GDPR and French data-protection compliant. Customer segments include business owners and companies seeking premises, commercial property investors (targeted via the advisory service), and property owners seeking buyers or tenants. Distribution is direct-to-client only, with no intermediary resellers.
