Chantenay Immobilier

What Chantenay Immobilier does

Chantenay Immobilier is a privately-held, single-person residential real estate agency operating from a physical office at 16 Boulevard de Chantenay, 44100 Nantes, France. Founded over 20 years ago and operated by Nathalie Chapuis in the role of Gérante, the agency provides residential property transaction services (sales) and rental location services to individual property owners, buyers, landlords, and tenants in the Nantes metropolitan area. The customer-facing proposition emphasizes commercial ethics, courtesy, "selected clientele," and a single dedicated point of contact for every transaction. Service is geographically scoped to the Nantes agglomeration, with explicit operational segmentation between "tense zones" (communes such as Nantes, Bouguenais, Carquefou, Couéron, Orvault, Rezé, Saint-Herblain, and approximately twenty others) and non-tense peripheral communes.

The agency's product offering comprises two core service lines plus a contact service. Rental location services include tenant visit coordination, tenant file constitution, deed drafting, and inventory reports, priced per square meter of habitable surface at €10/m² in tense zones and €8/m² in non-tense zones, with inventory billed separately at €3/m². Transaction services use a seven-tier commission schedule: a €5,000 flat fee for transactions under €70,000, scaling from 8% on the €71K–€100K tier down to 4.5% on transactions above €300,000. The underlying technology stack is minimal: a static informational website (chantimmo44.fr) built in 2020 by a third-party developer (Graphicom - Brains), with no proprietary platform, no mobile app, no API, and no digital product distribution layer.

The revenue model is entirely commission-based — transaction fees on property sales and rental management fees on leases — with no subscription, licensing, or recurring SaaS components. Go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven sales through the physical office, inbound phone inquiries (06.33.54.76.59 / 02.51.80.07.36), and the website contact form. The business is founder-owned with no external investment, no parent company, no partnerships, and no disclosed M&A activity, operating as a lifestyle-scale boutique agency rather than a scalable enterprise.
