The short answer
Check that an agent is licensed, ask for their fees in writing, compare portfolios and make sure they speak your language. A good agency explains the constraints of your case, especially for a non-resident.
The checks
- Licence of the agent or agency.
- Fees: who pays, how much, when.
- Portfolio: exclusive or shared properties.
- Language: clear communication.
- References: verifiable reviews.
The questions to ask
- Can you explain the constraints for a non-resident buyer? See non-residents.
- What are all the costs? See costs and taxes.
- How do you handle remote viewings?

- How many properties did you sell in this parish last year?
- Who pays your fees, and what if I give up on buying?
- Do you work exclusively with a developer?
- Can you put me in touch with an independent notary and lawyer?
The warning signs
Pressure to sign quickly, unwritten fees, a valuation well above the market, a refusal to answer on the purchase limit. For a purchase, work out your costs first: costs and taxes.
