The approach
A flat-fee boutique agency, in three lenses.
The same home appears three ways — to the lifestyle buyer who falls in love on a sunset walkthrough, to the luxury-hybrid investor calculating STR yield against acquisition cost, and to the exit-minded seller who wants one agent, one fee, and zero upsell ladder. The advisor surfaces what each lens cares about, so the listing does not have to pretend to be someone it is not.
Three lenses
One listing. Three honest framings. No copy that flatters anyone.
Walk the home before you book the flight.
Multilingual captions, drone exteriors, sunset-lit interiors — the listing reads like a short film, not a spec sheet. Catchment, commute, and weekend noise are annotated inline so the decision is emotional and verifiable.

Lifestyle cues
The advisor
Trained on the signals that move price.
The advisor is fed three feeds — price-drop events in the corridor, school catchment deltas, and short-term-rental yield curves drawn from licence-class data. It does not pitch; it ranks. The buyer’s lens picks the filter.
- Price-drop events with 30-day ripple windows
- School catchment — Éducation nationale + local zoning
- STR yield: occupancy, ADR curve, licence class
- Multilingual captions for the inbound corridor
Three ranked signals for the lifestyle lens, confidence 0.84.
