The DMethod
Five stages, in this order
A short, tightly defined engagement: from the listing link to signing at the notary.
You send me the listing
The link is enough, as soon as you like the property. Within 48 hours I tell you how much it can really be reduced, and why. Free, no obligation.
I analyse the seller's position
Time on the market, price history, comparable sales, surveys, signs of motivation. Price is negotiated on facts, not feelings.
We sign the search mandate
It sets out the property, your target price and the fee scale. Nothing is collected at this stage, nor at any point before completion.
I negotiate with the seller
I do the talking. With no attachment to the property, no fear of losing it, and none of the costly mistakes people make negotiating their own future home.
You sign, I get paid
My fee is settled on the day of completion, out of what you have just saved.
Périmètre
What I do not do
A negotiator who promises everything negotiates nothing. My job stops at one thing: the price.
I do not find the property
That is a buying agent's job, charged at 2–3% of the price. You have already found it.
I do not do the viewings
You view, you decide. As soon as the property interests you, I take over the price.
No agency-listed property
The agency defends its seller and its commission. I work on private sales, where no professional is negotiating on the other side.
Included in the mandate
You are buying without an agency.
That does not mean you are alone.
It is every private buyer's fear: nobody to make the transaction safe. My address book is open to you, at no extra cost.
Mortgage broker
For the financing and the rate. A solid file is also a negotiating argument.
Notary
For drafting and legal security, from preliminary contract to signature.
Chartered accountant
If the purchase is made through a property company or as an investment.
Judicial officer
For a formal report in case of defects, dispute or an occupied property.
Tradespeople and surveyors
To cost the works before the offer. A precise quote often brings the price down.
No entry fee
These introductions are included in my engagement.
