Property Buying

How We Help

Buying property in France is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. At Guava, we’re here to simplify the process and guide you at every step. Our mission is to make your experience seamless, transparent, and tailored to your goals, whether you’re searching for a pied-à-terre, a family home, or a smart investment. We begin with a consultation to understand your priorities: budget, location, size, lifestyle needs, and timeline. From there, we prepare a market brief with insights on neighborhoods, pricing trends, and rental potential, helping you make confident and informed decisions. Once your search is defined, we source a curated selection of properties through our network of agencies and off-market contacts. Each option is vetted before we share it, saving you time and avoiding common pitfalls. We then organize and accompany you on property visits, either in person or virtually, highlighting both opportunities and considerations so you see the full picture. When you’re ready to move forward, we advise on pricing and offer strategy, then handle the negotiations to secure the best terms. From the accepted offer to closing, we coordinate the entire due diligence process: working with the notaire, reviewing diagnostics and copropriété documents, and ensuring all administrative requirements are met. For clients financing their purchase, we connect you with trusted mortgage brokers and banks familiar with international buyers. We also provide a clear breakdown of additional costs such as notaire fees, taxes, and renovation estimates so there are no surprises along the way. At signing, we guide you through the compromis and acte authentique, ensuring you feel comfortable with every detail. We also manage practical matters like utility transfers, insurance, and key handover, so you can enjoy a smooth transition into your new home. Our support doesn’t stop at closing. Many clients choose to continue with us for after-sales assistance: from renovation management and interior design to property management or hospitality-ready staging. Whether you plan to live in the apartment full-time or use it as a second home. At Guava, we combine international perspective with local expertise to open doors to France living. More than brokers, we’re your long-term partners in navigating the French real estate market and building a life in the city we love.
