CARCY FILS

What CARCY FILS does

CARCY FILS (legal name: AGENCE CARCY FILS) is a family-owned French real estate agency operating as a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) with registered capital of €16,000 and headquartered at 12 Rue de la Fraternité, 47300 Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France. The business was founded post-WWII by Georges Carcy, continued by Paul Carcy, and has been under sole management of Jean-Michel Carcy since 1983; his daughter Julia Carcy-Aramburu (the fourth generation, holding a BTS Professions Immobilières) joined in 2004. A second office operates in Marmande following the 2012 acquisition of the PERPERE agency. Since July 2015 the agency has operated under the ERA IMMOBILIER international franchise.

The firm offers four core service lines: (1) Property Sales (residential and commercial, including houses, apartments, villas, land, and buildings) on a tiered commission schedule; (2) Property Rentals, including long-term residential and short-term vacation rentals; (3) Property Management (Gestion Locative) for approximately 800 rental units at 8.40% TTC of monthly rents collected, with optional unpaid-rent insurance at 2.50% TTC; and (4) Condominium Syndic services for 25 buildings across Villeneuve-sur-Lot, Monflanquin, Tonneins, and Marmande. Tenant placement fees follow ALUR-law rates (€8 TTC/m² visits, €3 TTC/m² inventory). Technology is supplied entirely by third parties: Hektor real estate software and the website platform are provided by La Boite Immo, and Google Analytics is used for traffic statistics.

The customer base is overwhelmingly local and consumer-oriented — approximately 80% Villenevois residents, 10% referred via the ERA IMMOBILIER network, 5% civil servant relocations, and 5% British second-home buyers. The agency holds a GALIAN financial guarantee of €380,000 and is a member of FNAIM and AMEPI. No external investors, private equity, or holding-company ownership structures are present; the company remains entirely within the Carcy family's control across four generations.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Orpi: Orpi is the largest cooperative-style real estate network in France, with thousands of local agencies offering sales, rentals, and management. Orpi competes head-to-head with ERA for the same local agency franchisees and serves the same residential buyer/seller and landlord segments as Carcy Fils.
• Foncia: Foncia is the largest property management and syndic operator in France. While Carcy Fils offers syndic services for 25 buildings and manages 800 rentals, Foncia is the scaled national benchmark competing for the same landlord and copropriété mandates and representing the modern, consolidated counterpart of Carcy Fils' management business.
• Guy Hoquet Immobilier: Guy Hoquet l'Immobilier is a major French real estate franchise network with national footprint. It directly overlaps Carcy Fils on residential sales, rentals, and management mandates, and competes for similar local franchisees and individual vendors/landlords in semi-rural departments.
• Laforêt: Laforêt is a long-established French real estate franchise network with broad coverage in residential sales, rentals, and management. It targets the same local SMB and individual customers as Carcy Fils and is a typical alternative franchise affiliation for traditional agencies considering network partnerships.
• ERA France: ERA France is the national franchise network that Carcy Fils has joined since July 2015. As Carcy Fils operates under the ERA brand with network-derived referrals (10% of clientele), ERA France is the closest franchise-network peer and benchmark for commission, brand, and tooling standards across ERA agencies in France.
• Stéphane Plaza Immobilier: Stéphane Plaza Immobilier is one of France's fastest-growing real estate franchise networks, expanding aggressively via low-cost franchise models. It competes directly with ERA franchisees like Carcy Fils for local agents and clients, especially in secondary cities and rural departments where Carcy Fils operates.
• Nexity: Nexity is France's leading integrated real estate group offering new development, transactions, rentals, management, and related services. It overlaps Carcy Fils across residential rentals and management, and represents the end-state of consolidation pressure on small traditional agencies.
• Century 21 France: Century 21 is one of the leading international real estate franchise networks in France. It directly competes with ERA for local agency franchises and offers an overlapping suite of services (transactions, rentals, management) targeted at the same SMB and individual customer base as Carcy Fils.

Emerging players

• I@D France: I@D France is France's leading digital/hybrid real estate network with thousands of independent agents operating from home. It targets the same individual buyers/sellers and rental investors as Carcy Fils but via a low-overhead digital model, illustrating the disruptive trajectory traditional agencies must defend against.

Others

• SeLoger: SeLoger is France's largest dedicated real estate listing portal. Carcy Fils already lists on SeLoger via its La Boite Immo platform, making the portal a key distribution channel — and the principal non-agency competitor for buyer/seller attention and lead generation in the French property market.
