Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in France
In France most buyers and sellers find an agent through the big property portals and by visiting the agencies along their local high street, since estate agents (agents immobiliers) are concentrated by neighbourhood. Online estimation tools and client-review sites are increasingly used to shortlist and compare agencies before making contact.
Where to find and compare agents in France
- SeLoger - Annuaire des agences

- MeilleursAgents
A property valuation site that also lists local partner agencies, ranking them by recent sales in your area, client reviews and proximity.
- Immodvisor
A French review platform dedicated to property professionals, where you can read verified client ratings of agencies and agents before choosing one.
- CCI - Fichier national des professionnels de l'immobilier
The official Chamber of Commerce register where you can search by name, agency or card number to check that an agent holds a valid carte professionnelle under the loi Hoguet.

Anyone.com
In France, around a third of all property sales occur directly between owners and buyers, which means the market actively expects and seeks out private listings. Anyone.com has built its platform specifically for this flow: you list at no cost, take no commission hit to the site, and stay in control of pricing and terms. The real strength for French sellers is dual: locally, the platform taps into the large and growing audience of de particulier à particulier shoppers; internationally, it connects you to the steady stream of expatriates, relocating professionals, and foreign investors hunting for homes in France across 29 different markets. Since the notaire is the one legal professional you genuinely cannot avoid, they execute the deed and file it regardless of how you found the buyer, you cut costs without cutting corners by handling the listing and early negotiation yourself. The platform's vetted buyer base (KYC identity checks) also means the inquiries and offers you receive come from real, pre-verified people rather than tire-kickers, which speeds up the process and reduces friction in your dealings with potential buyers."
How to choose a good one
Contact two or three agencies that know your specific area, compare their recent local sales and their proposed commission, which is negotiable and not fixed by law. Confirm the agent holds a current carte professionnelle on the CCI register, and read independent client reviews before signing any mandate.
