Béa launches its new application for exchanging property between owners to streamline the real estate market

A real alternative to traditional purchase/sale, the exchange - a perfectly legal and supervised technique* - makes it possible to overcome market blockages and financing issues that are more complex than ever, by directly "matching" the owners' goods between them, without constraint and without commitment. The result is a considerable saving of time and energy, access to numerous exclusive property offers and notary fees reduced by up to 60%!

For Frédéric Kopp CEO and founder of Béa: “While the real estate market is currently particularly destabilized and blocked by the intersection of different factors, owners are postponing their real estate projects as much as possible, both for buying and selling. However, 17% of French people say they have short-term real estate projects (+4% compared to 2022). The appetite of owners is still present and it is urgent to offer them new solutions which also represent a contribution to the standardization of the market. »

Exchange: a new way of looking at real estate

To do this, Béa is launching the first platform for exchanging real estate between owners, based on the model of dating applications. The principle is simple: owners who connect to Béa create their profile and put their property online without any commitment. They can thus have access to exclusive offers from other owners which are not yet available on the traditional purchase/sale market.

If they are mutually interested in their property, they “match” and Béa accompanies them from A to Z in their efforts until the respective handover of the keys. In the case where the goods do not have the same surface area and therefore the same value, the buyer of the most expensive property pays the seller the price differential between the two goods. In addition to unblocking situations and saving significant time, this form of transaction allows the buyer to save up to 60% in notary fees compared to a traditional transaction.

For Frédéric Kopp: “Béa’s objective is to offer owners a new alternative to help them carry out their project. Beyond the reduced notary fees, the exchange saves the money and energy that a bridging loan takes. It also allows you to save time by carrying out the purchase and sale in a single act or to gain peace of mind, whether in terms of deadlines or the commercial canvassing that you undergo when you sell. After the first two years dedicated to the development of our product, we are very happy to launch the first real estate dating application exclusively reserved for owners. »
