From an early age, Frédéric Bourelly knew one thing for certain—he wanted to be happy. For him, happiness was never just about personal success; it was about creating something meaningful, something that would make a difference in people’s lives. That vision eventually led him to revolutionize the real estate market in France.
As the CEO of Mon Chasseur Immo, Frédéric Bourelly has introduced a service that was once unheard of in the country: buyer’s agents dedicated to helping clients secure the best possible properties with expert guidance. He saw an opportunity in a market that required evangelization, and instead of waiting for change, he became the force that drove it.
Through innovation, digital tools, and a strong network of trusted professionals, he has built a company that not only simplifies property purchases but also ensures that buyers make smart, well-informed investments. Even in times of economic uncertainty, Frédéric’s strategy remains clear—adapt, innovate, and focus on long-term value.
At his core, he believes that owning a home is more than just a transaction—it’s a step toward security, stability, and, ultimately, happiness. And with Mon Chasseur Immo, he’s making that vision a reality for countless buyers across France.
Transforming Real Estate for Buyers in France
Frédéric Bourelly, founder of Mon Chasseur Immo, established the company in 2012 with a clear mission: to revolutionize real estate transactions in France by creating services specifically designed for buyers. At the time, the market was entirely structured around sellers, with real estate agencies working exclusively on their behalf through sales mandates. Buyers, on the other hand, had no dedicated support—they were left to navigate the complexities of the market alone, dealing with private sellers and real estate agents without any professional guidance tailored to their needs.
Recognizing this gap, Frédéric Bourelly set out to develop a service that would empower buyers, helping them secure better properties in terms of quality, price, and negotiation, all while simplifying and streamlining the purchasing process. Inspired by the well-established model of buyer’s agents in countries like the United States, he introduced the concept of property hunters—professionals who act in the buyer’s best interest to facilitate smarter and more strategic real estate purchases.
In addition to addressing this fundamental imbalance in the market, Frédéric Bourelly also saw an opportunity to integrate digital technology into the real estate sector, which was still underdeveloped in 2012. He spearheaded the creation of a dedicated digital platform designed to enhance collaboration between property hunters and buyers. This innovation not only optimized the client experience but also automated key processes, making property acquisition more efficient and accessible.
Through Mon Chasseur Immo, Frédéric Bourelly has redefined how buyers approach real estate in France, ensuring they receive the expert guidance and tools they need to make confident, well-informed decisions. Mon Chasseur Immo recognized the unique challenges international buyers face when purchasing property in France, including complex administrative procedures, legal formalities, and language barriers. To address these concerns, the company offers tailored support, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for foreign clients.
With expertise in facilitating remote property searches, organizing virtual visits, and assisting with financing and legal requirements, Mon Chasseur Immo provides a comprehensive solution that simplifies the buying process. By bridging the gap between international buyers and the French real estate market, the company enhances accessibility and ensures a smooth transition into property ownership.

Overcoming Challenges & Embracing Technology
Launching a business is never without challenges, and for Frédéric Bourelly, the first major hurdle in building Mon Chasseur Immo was evangelizing an entirely new service in France. Unlike other markets, buyer’s agents were virtually unknown, meaning extensive communication efforts were required to educate the public. With Mon Chasseur Immo still a small to medium-sized company at the time, this process had to be tackled gradually, making the challenge both time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Beyond raising awareness, Frédéric Bourelly and his team also had to build the entire infrastructure for buyer representation from the ground up. There were no existing tools, training programs, or structured knowledge about the buyer’s journey in France. This meant creating a digital platform, developing training processes, recruiting property hunters, and designing tools to make their work more efficient—all while proving the value of a service that most people didn’t even realize they needed.
But the external challenges didn’t stop there. Over the years, Mon Chasseur Immo had to navigate several crises, from the Yellow Vest protests, which disrupted weekend property visits, to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the company to adapt to remote work and property visits under strict health measures. More recently, the sharp rise in interest rates since 2022 has led to a 40% drop in the resale real estate market, presenting yet another obstacle to overcome.
The Driving Force Behind Innovation
Through all these challenges, one key factor has allowed Mon Chasseur Immo to remain agile and competitive—technology. As a B2C company, leveraging digital tools and AI has been essential in both enhancing productivity for property hunters and ensuring buyers have seamless access to their property search.
For property hunters, Mon Chasseur Immo developed a dedicated platform that optimizes their work, making the process more structured and efficient. Utilizing its advanced search methodologies, clients find their ideal property up to ten times faster compared to traditional methods. On average, they secure their home in fewer than three visits, minimizing time and effort. Additionally, by leveraging data-driven insights and market expertise, clients achieve an average savings of approximately 6% on their initial budget at a national level, making the process not only quicker but also more cost-effective.
For buyers, a mobile app serves as the central hub for their property search, consolidating listings, managing documents, and enabling smooth communication with their property hunter. With this advanced technology, the company has assisted over 15,000 buyers in finding their ideal properties. With a remarkable 95% satisfaction rate, it has garnered 3,000 reviews, maintaining an impressive average rating of 4.9 out of 5. Strengthening its presence across France, the company operates through a vast network of 180 dedicated property hunters, ensuring a seamless and personalized experience for clients.
Additionally, AI-driven tools now play an increasing role in automating routine tasks, such as filtering and scoring property listings. While AI does not replace human expertise, it enhances productivity, allowing property hunters to focus on high-value interactions with their clients.
As the real estate market continues to evolve, Frédéric Bourelly remains committed to innovation, ensuring that Mon Chasseur Immo stays ahead of the curve—transforming the way people buy property in France, one step at a time.
Delivering Personalized Real Estate Solutions
At Mon Chasseur Immo, time is often a critical factor for buyers, many of whom face urgent situations. One such case was Jean-Pierre from Toulouse, who had already signed a preliminary sales agreement for his home but had yet to find a new place to live. With only three months before he had to vacate, the pressure was mounting. After months of unsuccessful searching on his own, his family grew increasingly anxious.
That’s when Patricia, one of our property hunters, stepped in. Leveraging Mon Chasseur Immo’s advanced tools and professional network, she quickly refined his search criteria and accessed properties beyond traditional listings. Through her connections, she discovered an off-market property that wasn’t publicly advertised. Not only did she secure direct contact with the owner, but she also negotiated an 8% price reduction, ensuring Jean-Pierre could transition seamlessly from one home to the next without the hassle of temporary housing.
Beyond the search, the Mon Chasseur Immo team provided full support, handling administrative procedures, technical inspections, and coordination with the notary, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Without this assistance, Jean-Pierre would have likely faced costly temporary housing, storage fees, and unnecessary stress.
Ensuring Exceptional Customer Satisfaction
Mon Chasseur Immo is committed to maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction, which is why client feedback plays a central role in improving its services. Two public review platforms—Google Reviews and Immodvisor—allow for transparent evaluations. At the same time, detailed satisfaction surveys are sent to all clients at the end of each mission, whether successful or not. These insights help identify strengths, areas for improvement, and evolving buyer expectations.
The company also ensures quality through a rigorous recruitment process for its property hunters. Unlike traditional real estate models, not all applicants are accepted, even though they operate as independent contractors. Candidates are selected based on soft skills that align with Mon Chasseur Immo’s values: commitment, client-first dedication, kindness, and innovation.
To uphold service quality, Mon Chasseur Immo has established an internal academy that provides both initial and ongoing training. Additionally, property hunters receive daily coaching from success developers, their regional contacts who support them in refining their skills and maximizing efficiency.
Anticipating Future Real Estate Trends
Looking ahead, Frédéric Bourelly believes that property ownership in France will remain a top priority—not just for financial security, but also for retirement planning and long-term stability. Despite trends in the sharing economy (co-living, car sharing, and rentals), homeownership continues to be a strong aspiration, particularly among younger generations, who now aim to buy earlier than in previous decades.
Expanding its scope beyond investment properties, the company is committed to assisting a diverse range of buyers. While rental investment remains a key focus, equal emphasis is placed on helping clients secure primary residences, second homes, and pied-à-terre properties. These segments constitute a significant portion of the company’s activities and are integral to its mission. By highlighting these offerings, the company aims to provide greater visibility to its comprehensive real estate solutions, ensuring that buyers across all categories receive the expertise and support they need.
Additionally, the market is shifting towards buyer-focused services, a trend Mon Chasseur Immo is already championing. Buyers are demanding more guidance and expertise, and as awareness grows, so will the demand for dedicated buyer agents.
Another critical shift will be energy performance and sustainability in real estate. Today, many buyers lack knowledge about energy diagnostics, renovation costs, and efficiency upgrades. Whether it’s solar panels, heat pumps, or geothermal solutions, buyers need better insights into balancing cost, efficiency, and long-term value. Addressing this knowledge gap will be a key service in the coming years.
A Fully Personalized Real Estate Experience
Mon Chasseur Immo’s approach is centered on personalized service. Each client is assigned a dedicated property hunter from start to finish, ensuring continuity and trust throughout the process.
A critical first step is defining the buyer’s project in depth—not just focusing on basic criteria but truly understanding their lifestyle, habits, and long-term goals. Sometimes, buyers come with preconceived ideas about what they want, and part of Mon Chasseur Immo’s role is to challenge and refine those assumptions to ensure the best possible outcome.
Beyond the search itself, Mon Chasseur Immo provides complementary services that enhance the buying experience:
- Mortgage Solutions: Trusted financial partners help secure the best financing options, often more effective than dealing with a single bank.
- Renovation Services: From simple repainting to full-scale renovations, Mon Chasseur Immo connects buyers with vetted professionals.
- Investment & Rental Management: For investors, dedicated services help manage and optimize rental properties.
Finally, transparent, regular communication is a cornerstone of Mon Chasseur Immo’s service. Keeping buyers informed at every stage builds confidence, fosters collaboration, and ensures a stress-free journey to homeownership.
Through innovation, expertise, and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction, Mon Chasseur Immo continues to redefine how people buy property in France.
Advice for Aspiring Real Estate Entrepreneurs
Frédéric Bourelly believes that succeeding in today’s real estate sector requires a combination of human connection and technological adaptability.
- Mastering Relational & Emotional Intelligence: As digital tools automate more routine tasks, human skills will define success. Whether in client relationships or teamwork, the ability to connect, communicate, and build trust will become even more valuable.
- Embracing New Technologies: The real estate industry is evolving rapidly, with AI becoming a game-changer. While some initially dismissed AI-driven solutions, businesses are now racing to integrate them. In the coming years, a clear divide will emerge between those who embrace AI and those who fall behind.
Mon Chasseur Immo is already ahead of this trend, offering AI training for property hunters through its internal academy. So far, 60 property hunters have been trained in using AI tools, including ChatGPT, Mistral AI, and Perplexity, alongside the company’s own AI-powered solutions. These tools enhance productivity, optimize searches, and allow property hunters to focus on high-value client interactions.
A Future-Ready Real Estate Company
By combining exceptional client service, strategic use of technology, and a commitment to continuous learning, Mon Chasseur Immo continues to redefine real estate in France. Whether through innovative digital tools, market-leading growth, or top-tier talent development, the company is shaping the future of buyer-focused real estate services—one successful transaction at a time.
