At Alpaca Immobilier, we've made a decision that might surprise you:
👉 close our physical office to work differently, more freely and above all more efficiently.
This choice is no accident - it stems from a deep reflection on how we work and what you expect as clients.
💰 1. Reduce costs to stay agile and efficient
The current period is pushing everyone to save money - individuals and businesses alike.
And just like with housing, the rent for a professional office represents a significant and poorly profitable expense.
By eliminating this cost, we're choosing intelligent simplicity: fewer fixed costs, more resources for what really matters.
📞 2. Because you (almost) never visit the office
Let's be honest: 99% of the time, you contact us by phone, email, social media or online form.
Rare visits to the office no longer justified the cost or effort of maintaining a physical location.
Our clients prefer efficiency and responsiveness - and that's exactly what we continue to offer, without walls but always here for you.
🤝 3. We come to you
Our business is being in the field, not behind a desk.
We prefer to come to your place, to estimate your property, or meet you in a café or local business - places we know well, because we live and work near you.
It's more human, simpler and strengthens the proximity we've stood for from the start.
🚀 4. Lower costs = more budget to sell your property
Lower overhead means more investment in the visibility of our listings.
👉 Concretely, this allows us to strengthen our online advertising campaigns, improve photo quality, 3D tours, or distribution across real estate portals. Despite the crisis, platforms like LeBonCoin and BienIci continue to increase distribution prices exponentially. On average, a listing costs over €100 excl. VAT per platform per month - not counting boosts that increase visibility... So believe us, when we take your property under mandate, we're determined to sell it!
🌍 5. It's a real underlying trend
Work practices are changing.
Remote work, digital agencies and collaborative models have eliminated thousands of professional offices in recent years.
Real estate is no exception: the new generation of agents work with a computer, a phone and a car.
Our strength is mobility and responsiveness, not a storefront.
🧭 6. We're in the field, where it all happens
Between viewings, valuations and signings, our team spends their days with sellers, buyers and local partners.
Having an office meant we'd often see it… empty.
So we made the sensible choice: be where you are, rather than waiting behind a counter.
💬 In summary
No longer having an office is a choice of modernity, efficiency and proximity.
It allows us to:
-
🔹 reduce our costs,
-
🔹 be more available,
-
🔹 invest more for you,
-
🔹 and stay connected to on-the-ground reality.
Fewer walls, more humanity.
That's the Alpaca Immobilier spirit 🦙.
