Prestant Immobilier : a role based on trust

Founded in 2016 in Biarritz, Prestant Immobilier Singular Properties developed in France by paying the closest attention to its clients’ needs. Now active in the Basque country, Le Périgord, Paris, on the Côte d’Azur, in Corsica and Bordeaux, Prestant Immobilier directed by Benoit Verdet and Bruno de Saint-Exupéry has met with real success.

In-depth knowledge of territories and markets combined with talented teams, such are the assets which have built the reputation of the Prestant Singular Properties group which, from its creation, has won the loyalty of a high-end clientele in line with its property portfolio.

“What motivates us is the quality rather than the quantity of the advice dispensed,” says Benoit Verdet. “We pursue an approach based on sound advice and actions focusing on the long term. Our choice of locations in France’s loveliest regions follows this logic, enabling us to meet our client’s needs as precisely as possible.”

A clientele half French, half foreign, including French ex-pats in search of high-end properties who, since the pandemic, have given rise to numerous projects :

“The health crisis was a trigger that turned dreams of change into reality. 2021 was a record year for our agencies, registering a record number of sales. But also an unprecedented year which deeply affected the nature of property markets. Until then, urban markets were the most buoyant, with most buyers wanting to live in town to enjoy a walk-everywhere lifestyle.There has now been a very clear rebalancing act between town and country. A few months ago, we sold an exceptional property in Le Var at a price beyond 10 million euros, which drew the interest of numerous buyers. In the countryside around Saint Jean-de-Luz, we also sold a very beautiful property priced at almost 5 million euros. In Paris, the top end of the market has seen no decline in prices, with sales corresponding to our estimates. The strong appeal of the provinces has, however, made a big difference, with Paris no longer driving the market. A turnaround that has endowed our profession with all its aura as we must assist our clients intelligently and strategically, more than ever before, in their longterm investments. When confronted by these radical changes, market know-how and expertise give us a vital part to play.”
