VALOTERRA INTERNATIONAL

What VALOTERRA INTERNATIONAL does

Valoterra International (operating commercially as Valostone International under the legal entity SASUVALOTERRA INTERNATIONAL) is a boutique French real estate agency headquartered at 2079 route des Pyrénées, 40700 Monségur, in the Landes department of southwestern France. The firm provides sales brokerage, rental sourcing and management, and bespoke property valuation services (avis de valeur) across the Hagetmau-Chalosse region, with a deliberate focus on heritage and character properties — traditional Chalosse houses, restored farmhouses, old rural estates, premium apartments, and fonds de commerce. The target customer base spans families seeking primary residences, high-net-worth property owners and investors managing premium rentals, buy-to-rent investors, and rural/agricultural property owners.

The agency's core product is full-service brokerage augmented by a proprietary branded service suite ("Valo*"): ValoRenov (renovation coordination with 2D/3D visualizations and curated craftsmen), ValoStanding (home staging and presentation), ValoDrone (aerial videography), ValoBox (temporary furniture storage), ValoFinance (mortgage brokerage referrals), ValoAntic (antique furniture valuation), ValoInternational (cross-border marketing for international buyers), plus a standalone Property Estimation service. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the digital presence runs on the Netty website platform, and technical capabilities such as 3D visualization, drone footage, and decorative staging are delivered through specialist third-party partners. The valuation methodology is explicitly described as non-algorithmic, relying on on-site human assessment.

The business model is transaction-based: revenue is generated through percentage commissions on property sales (rates published in a downloadable fee schedule PDF), fees on rental placements and ongoing rental management, professional services fees for standalone valuations, and incremental revenue from renovation/staging project coordination. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with inbound demand sourced via the agency's website (SEO-optimized for Hagetmau and neighborhood-level queries such as Monségur, Mant, Samadet, Miramont-Sensacq), phone outreach, in-person consultations, and international referrals via the founder-director's 15+ years of cross-border experience. Regulatory standing is established via a French professional real estate card (CPI40012019000043419, CCI des Landes), a €120,000 client guarantee fund held with GALIAN-SMABTP, and registration with MEDIMMOCONSO consumer mediator.
