Operating framework
Our recommendation does not depend on whether a transaction takes place.
Finikia is an independent real estate advisory practice, based in Paris. We work with residents, international buyers and investors on acquisition, disposal and investment decisions.
The mission is set out in a formal agreement: our recommendation does not depend on whether a transaction takes place. Around each file, we coordinate the specialists required: notary, tax adviser, building expert, mortgage broker.
The objective is a documented analysis before any decision is made.
One method, three entry points
One method, three entry points
Acquisition remains the core of our practice. Disposition and investment are extensions of it, conducted on the same principles.
01Acquisition
The core of the engagement
Primary residence, relocation from abroad, residential investment – a single method, adapted to the buyer’s profile.
A documented reading of the asset and the decision, conducted before any binding commitment, leading to an explicit recommendation: GO, CAUTION or NO GO.

02Disposition
Selling only what can be defended
The same principles: documented analysis, the right to decline a mandate, advice before transaction. A Paris property should not simply be listed: it should be prepared and documented.
Disposition framework
03Investment
The asset as a thesis, not a yield
Investment is not an opportunity to seize, but a thesis to test: location, structuring, time horizon and taxation. Our role is to test the thesis before it commits your capital.
Investment frameworkOur approach
One recommendation, three positions
Every acquisition case concludes with one of these three positions. None is commercial, none is neutral.
CAUTION
Acquisition subject to conditions
The asset may be acquired subject to conditions. Those named in the report must be cleared before any offer on price, works, or legal standing. Execution then remains conditional.
NO GO
Reasoned withdrawal
The asset should not be acquired. The reasons are recorded in the report and remain on record on price, the building fabric, or legal standing. They inform the cases that follow.

First conversation
Start a conversation
An initial conversation helps define the nature of the engagement; a one-off audit on an asset already identified, or the framing of a search upstream. No commitment at this stage.
