Optimhome: unprecedented growth in the real estate sector

Optimhome, the leading home real estate network, continues to expand throughout France. Four years after its launch, the network already has 1.000 agent representatives and plans to have 1.500 agents by 2012. Optimistic development prospects that echo the success of the concept of a real estate agency without a point of sale, that is to say without a shop.

Optimhome, the "new generation" real estate network, continues its large-scale expansion across France. With 1.000 active agents now, compared to 102 at its launch in 2007, Optimhome is experiencing unprecedented growth in the real estate world. This spectacular increase is a testament to the concept's success.
"We signed nearly 4000 sales deeds in 2010," explains Frédéric Pitout, founder and director of Optimhome, "which further strengthens the credibility of our concept and gives us real economic clout in the real estate market. On average, around sixty agents join us each month, and we aim to reach 1.500 agents by 2012. Our concept has modernized and radically changed the way individuals view real estate agents."

PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONALIZED SUPPORT

By launching its concept in 2007, Optimhome has successfully met the expectations of individuals. Often wary of the real estate world and its opaqueness, prospective sellers and buyers are deserting agencies and trying to negotiate without an intermediary.
More available and transparent than traditional real estate agents, Optimhome's agents succeed in establishing a relationship of trust with their clients. They travel directly to their homes and offer them professional and personalized support: viewing properties that match the request, putting them in touch with competent professionals such as diagnosticians, brokers, bankers, etc., signing deeds at the notary's office, etc. This expertise and proximity are the pillars of the network's success.
The AFAQ ISO 9001 certification obtained by the network in 2010 for the quality of its processes in place and its file monitoring, confirms the seriousness and quality of the services that Optimhome offers to its customers.
