Buying in France

Buying property in France isn't like buying in the U.S. — no MLS, no centralized listings, and no bank pre-approvals that matter. The good news? You're not doing it alone.

We've partnered with one of the most connected brokerages in Paris and the Riviera, with deep expertise in:

  • Discreet listings
  • Foreign buyers
  • High-end crypto clientele

So whether you're shopping a Parisian apartment, a Cap d'Antibes villa, or a Provençal estate, our agents speak fluent luxury and fluent crypto.

What you need to know:

  • No MLS: There's no Zillow. Listings are fragmented across agencies, portals, and notaire offices. Our agents know where the real inventory lives — and where it's hiding.
  • Notaire required: Every transaction needs one. We work with bilingual notaires familiar with digital asset conversions and international buyers.
  • Crypto is legal, taxed, and legit: France treats crypto as taxable property. We'll help time and document the trade to minimize headaches.
  • Many listings aren't even public: The best properties in France? They never hit the internet. That's where our local agent network unlocks doors.

How RealOpen Handles Buying French Real Estate with Crypto

1. Lock Your EUR Conversion

When you're ready to move forward, we quote a real-time crypto-to-euro conversion (BTC, ETH, USDT — your choice) and lock it for 10 minutes. That secures the purchase power of your crypto while you prepare the transfer.

  • Live OTC rate locked for 10 minutes
  • Amount matches your exact cash-to-close in euros
  • Eliminates volatility risk while you initiate the transfer

2. Send From Your Wallet

You receive transfer instructions and send crypto directly from your wallet — no exchange required.

  • Use any wallet(s) that you control
  • Trade executes after network confirmation (BTC = 2 confirmations)

3. We Wire Euros to the Notaire

Once your crypto is received and cleared, RealOpen wires the exact euro amount to the notaire handling your transaction.

  • Funds are wired directly into notaire-controlled escrow
  • Buyer appears as a standard “cash buyer” to the seller
  • We provide full transaction documentation for legal + tax records

Why Not Just Sell Through an Exchange?

Selling your crypto through a public exchange might seem easy — until you try to close on a home in France.

French notaires require verified fiat funds wired in advance. Retail exchanges can't give you rate locks, settle same-day, or deliver the trade documentation your notaire expects.

RealOpen handles it all — with crypto-to-euro execution, full legal backup, and wired funds to your notaire.
