THIERS IMMOBILIER

What THIERS IMMOBILIER does

THIERS IMMOBILIER, operating commercially as AU16IMMO, is a single-location independent real estate agency headquartered at 16 rue de Clermont, Thiers, in the Puy-de-Dôme department of France. Founded in 2008 and structured as a SASU with €1,000 share capital, the firm is owner-operated by Thierry and Valérie DUBOST, supported by a small team of approximately 2-5 people including at least one RSAC-registered commercial agent. The agency is regulated under French real estate law, holding the carte professionnelle (CPI 6305 2019 0000 41801) issued by the CCI du Puy-de-Dôme and mandatory professional liability insurance with Allianz IARD. There is no parent company, no institutional investment, and no subsidiary structure.

The agency's core offering comprises residential and commercial property sales, rental brokerage (apartments, houses, and commercial premises including furnished rentals), free property valuation, and ancillary digital tools such as an email-based property alert system, an online mortgage calculator, and an owner portal for managing listings. Its digital infrastructure consists of a standard real estate website (www.au16immo.fr) built on the Netty platform and hosted by OVH, with a bilingual French/English interface, social sharing integrations, and SEO-indexed property pages. The technology stack is entirely third-party; there are no proprietary systems, applications, or AI capabilities.

Revenue is generated exclusively through transaction-based fees: percentage commissions on property sales (paid by sellers, rates published in the agency's fee schedule) and rental fees charged to tenants (with documented examples around €422 TTC for a 60 m² rental, including état des lieux). Service coverage extends across Thiers and surrounding municipalities including La Monnerie-le-Montel, Orléat, Paslières, Ris, Saint-Flour, Viscomtat, Peschadoires, Palladuc, and Celles-sur-Durolle, serving individual residential buyers and sellers, renters, small business tenants, and small-scale buy-to-let or commercial property investors. All engagement is human-mediated via the office, phone, email, and website inquiry forms, with no self-serve or subscription-based product.

Emerging players

• MegAgence: French digital-first real estate agency offering reduced-commission sales services. Comparable as an emerging competitor to AU16IMMO targeting the same French residential seller market with a lower-cost structure.
• Proprioo: Hybrid digital/online French real estate agency providing flat-fee sales services. Comparable to AU16IMMO as a French residential brokerage competitor, but with a differentiated technology-led, lower-commission model.
• Safti: Network of independent French real estate agents without traditional storefronts. Comparable as a competing residential brokerage model targeting the same buyer and seller pool as AU16IMMO.
• IAD France: Leading French network of independent (non-office-based) real estate agents. Comparable as a direct competitor in the same residential brokerage market, but operates with a lower-cost, non-physical model that pressures traditional agencies like AU16IMMO.

Broad incumbents

• Nestenn: French real estate network with local offices offering sales, rentals, and management. Closely mirrors AU16IMMO's service mix and small-town French market positioning.
• Orpi: Largest French real estate franchise network with thousands of local agencies. Directly comparable because Orpi operates the same traditional physical-office brokerage model for residential sales and rentals in regional French markets, including rural towns like Thiers.
• Guy Hoquet Immobilier: French real estate franchise with national coverage. Comparable as a competing transaction-based brokerage serving similar buyer/seller segments in regional French geographies.
• Laforêt: Established French real estate franchise network offering sales, rentals, and management services. Comparable business model to AU16IMMO, with local offices serving regional residential markets in France.
• Stéphane Plaza Immobilier: French real estate agency network providing traditional brokerage services. Comparable to AU16IMMO in its core offering of residential property sales and rentals via physical offices.
• Century 21 France: Major international real estate franchise with a dense French network. Comparable to AU16IMMO as a competing traditional brokerage offering residential sales, rentals, and valuations through local offices across France.
