ESPACE CARNOT GESTION

What ESPACE CARNOT GESTION does

Espace Carnot Gestion is a Toulouse-based real estate agency organised as a French SAS (SIRET 477 599 138 00013, capital €7,500) operating in the city's hypercentre since 2000. The business is split into two operational divisions: Espace Carnot Transaction (residential sales, acquisitions, rental placement, and land development) and Espace Carnot Gestion (rental property management, co-ownership syndicate, renovation/staging advisory, and fiscal optimisation for landlords). It serves individual buyers and sellers, residential tenants, property investors, and co-ownership buildings, with a stated team of approximately 10 people including director Paul-Maximilien Hacpille (since September 2019).

The company monetises through three principal lines: commission-based transaction fees (typically 3.5% to 10.59% including VAT on property sales), flat-rate rental placement fees (€10/m² TTC for visits/dossier/lease; €3/m² for inventory), and recurring management and syndic fees on quote or forfait. It holds the required CCI professional cards (CPI 31012016000010315 for Transaction and CPI 31012015000000948 for Gestion/Syndic) and maintains financial guarantees of €600,000 (gestion) and €2,000,000 (syndic) via QBE France. Its technology stack is third-party — Adapt Immo powers the website, listings, and client portal — and employee enablement is via a digital client portal and a resident mobile app for the syndic division.

Go-to-market is local, sales-led, and relationship-driven: a single physical office at 45 Boulevard Lazare Carnot, supported by a self-serve website with virtual tours, email alerts, organic listings on MeilleursAgents.com, and word-of-mouth referrals. Public client testimonials reference long-tenured relationships (e.g., a property management client since 2014). The agency is privately held, founder/management-owned, with no disclosed institutional investment, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Operating geography is restricted to the Toulouse metropolitan area in France.
