What you need to know before buying a French property - The Good Life France
Briefly

France's real-estate market differs significantly from that of America, particularly in the absence of a multiple-listing system. Buyers must navigate through individual agency websites, as French agencies only list their own properties. This can be overwhelming and laborious for those not familiar with the process. Emma Skoble, an experienced real-estate broker, founded an agency to assist English speakers in understanding the complexities of buying a French home, helping them with legalities and property hunting in Paris. While some websites aggregate listings, they do not provide a complete picture of available properties.
Tackling the French real-estate market can feel overwhelming at first. In France, each agency lists the properties that are being sold through them, but they won't show anything from other realtors.
If you look hard enough, you can find a few French websites that contain listings from multiple realtors, but unfortunately they are not complete: they don't include all the agencies.
