Buying property in Paris is a dream for many Lebanese and Arab investors—whether for personal use, a pied-à-terre, a child studying in France, or as a long-term investment in one of the world’s most stable real estate markets.
But navigating the Parisian property scene is not always simple: tight supply, intense competition, fast-moving listings, and complex legal procedures can make the process challenging for international buyers.

This is where the role of a chasseur d’immobilier becomes essential—and where JSK Real Estate steps in to support Lebanese and Arab clients with a trusted, professional, and bilingual service in Paris.

What Is a Chasseur d’Immobilier?

A chasseur d’immobilier is a property hunter who works exclusively for the buyer.
Unlike a traditional real estate agent (agent immobilier) who represents the seller, the property hunter’s mission is to defend the interests of the purchaser from A to Z.

Their responsibilities include:

• Conducting a detailed needs analysis
• Searching through the entire market (agencies, off-market deals, private sellers)
• Shortlisting properties that match the client’s criteria
• Visiting properties on behalf of the client
• Preparing detailed visit reports, photos & videos
• Negotiating the best possible price
• Guiding the client through the French legal process until the final deed is signed

For Lebanese or Arab clients who live abroad—or who are not familiar with the French system—having a dedicated professional defending their interests is a major advantage.

Understanding the Mandat de Recherche

To work legally and professionally in France, a chasseur d’immobilier must sign a mandat de recherche with the buyer.

This contract:

• Officially authorizes JSK (or its partner chasseur in Paris) to search for a property on behalf of the buyer
• Defines the client’s budget, criteria, and search zones
• Outlines the fees and payment terms
• Ensures the buyer is represented ethically and exclusively

The mandat de recherche is a standard and fully regulated document under French real estate law (Loi Hoguet), which adds transparency and security to the entire process.

Fees: 2.5% Paid by the Buyer

The service of property hunting in Paris is billed through a buyer fee of 2.5%, calculated on the final purchase price of the property.

Important points:

• Fees are only paid upon success — when the buyer signs the final sales agreement (acte authentique) at the notary.
• No hidden charges, no surprises.
• This model motivates the property hunter to find the right deal as efficiently as possible.

With competition high in Paris and desirable apartments often selling within days, the expertise of a professional who can secure the right opportunity is often worth far more than the fee itself.
