Your English-Speaking Buyer’s Agent in Strasbourg, Alsace - France
Looking to buy property in Strasbourg or elsewhere in France? SHOKO is an English‑speaking buyer’s agent with a North American approach to real estate, representing buyers exclusively.
Unlike the traditional French system, where agents represent sellers, SHOKO fills a critical gap by acting solely in your best interest. You benefit from full access to all properties available on the French market, transparent fees, and independent buyer‑only representation — regardless of which agency or platform lists the property.
From first visit to final signature at the notaire, your interests come first.
Buyer-Only Real Estate Agent | Strasbourg, Alsace, France
Welcome to EXPERTIMO with SHOKO
At EXPERTIMO, SHOKO is dedicated exclusively to representing property buyers across Strasbourg, Alsace, and throughout France. With over 20 years of North American real estate experience, SHOKO provides clear, structured, and buyer‑first guidance designed for English‑speaking and international clients.
In France, there is no formal buyer representation system and no centralized MLS. Properties are scattered across multiple agencies and platforms, making the process complex and time‑consuming for buyers.
SHOKO solves this by acting as your single point of contact — identifying suitable properties, contacting all relevant listing agents, coordinating viewings, and ensuring you see everything that truly matches your criteria.
All deposits and funds are handled exclusively by your notaire through a regulated escrow account (compte séquestre). EXPERTIMO never holds client funds, ensuring full legal protection, transparency, and peace of mind.
Based in Strasbourg and Schiltigheim, SHOKO collaborates with notaires, renovators, architects, and interior designers to help transform properties into comfortable, North American‑style homes.
A major Mediterranean port and cultural crossroads, Marseille offers coastal living, international connections, and a vibrant southern lifestyle.
A North American Buying Experience in the French Market
Buying property in France requires a different strategy than in North America — and that’s where SHOKO’s experience makes the difference.
Instead of limiting you to a small internal portfolio, SHOKO works across all agencies, platforms, and private networks.
Every property that fits your criteria is pursued, even if it requires extensive coordination and follow‑ups with multiple listing agents.
It’s more work — but the reward is clear: you gain access to the entire market, without having to register separately with dozens of agencies or risk missing the right opportunity.
You focus on choosing the right home. SHOKO handles the complexity.
Curated Property Search & Off‑Market Opportunities
Your property search is fully personalized.
SHOKO carefully curates listings based on your goals, lifestyle, and budget, providing timely updates and honest feedback. Beyond public listings, SHOKO actively reaches out to listing agents and owners to uncover off‑market and pre‑market opportunities.
This proactive approach often benefits both buyers and sellers — reducing competition, avoiding unnecessary showings, and allowing transactions at fair market value.
If the right property isn’t visible yet, SHOKO works to find it.
From the first visit to the final deed, SHOKO guides you through every step of the French buying process with clarity and precision.
You’ll receive:
- Clear explanations of French contracts and timelines
- Support with negotiations and pricing strategy
- Coordination with notaires, inspectors, and professionals
- Honest advice — even when it means not buying
With buyer‑only representation, every recommendation is made with one objective: protecting your interests.
