Frequently asked questions

Before you decide.

Do I need a degree to become an iad advisor?

No. In France you work as an independent sales agent, with a canvassing certificate issued on behalf of iad France. Training, however, is mandatory: iad trains you from the start and throughout your career (42 hours every 3 years under French law). In other countries, the local iad entity's rules apply.

How much does it cost to start?

In France, with the Starter+ offer, the Premium Pack costs €99 a month excl. VAT (€118.80 incl. VAT) until your first sale, for 6 months, extendable to 12 months with at least 50 propertips affiliates. It then goes up to €166.58 excl. VAT (€199.90 incl. VAT). Add €90 excl. VAT registration fees: the first direct debit does not exceed €226.80 incl. VAT. Offer for new advisors activated until 30 June 2027.

Are you a student? The Jeunes actifs offer brings the pack down to €19.90 a month excl. VAT for 6 months (France).

Which business status should I choose?

In France, most advisors start as micro-entrepreneurs: contributions of about 25.6% (19.2% with the ACRE scheme), up to €83,600 excl. VAT of revenue per year. As the business grows, the standard regime lets you deduct your costs. We look together at what suits your situation, and the network offers accounting support.

Can I start part-time or while unemployed?

Yes, in some cases. In France, a sales agent activity can be combined with a salaried job if your employment contract has no exclusivity clause. If you receive unemployment benefits from France Travail, combining them is often possible under conditions: check with your France Travail adviser before starting.

I'm already a real estate professional. What changes?

With at least 6 months' experience as a negotiator, sales agent, estate agent or agency manager, you get specific onboarding terms and fast-track access to the Bronze qualification if you want to build a team. We prepare the exit from your current contract together: notice period, non-compete, current listings.

Is sponsorship mandatory?

No. You can spend your whole career focusing on your sales. Building a team is an option you open up whenever you wish, once trained and after your first transactions.

I want to join iad with my team. What is the TIP?

The Team Integration Program supports the arrival of a team of at least 3 real estate professionals. The team leader receives 10% of the new branch's transaction revenue excl. VAT, every quarter for up to 24 months, on top of sponsorship commissions. iad approves the programme case by case.

I don't live in Perpignan.

At iad, there is no assigned territory for building a team, in France or in the countries where the network operates. I support you by video call and in person, and classroom training takes place across France and through each country's local iad entity.

Can I join iad from another country?

Yes. iad operates in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Mexico and the United States (Florida, Texas). Each country has its own entity, contract and rules for entering the profession: a qualification in Italy, a licence in Germany or Florida, no qualification in Spain, Portugal or Mexico. I remain your sponsor wherever you are, and a local sponsor can support you in the field where the local entity allows it.

Which languages can you support me in?

In French, English and Spanish. The site is also available in Portuguese: choose your language at the top of each page.

What is propertips?

It is iad's referral app, open to everyone, no need to be an advisor. You refer someone who wants to sell or buy, an iad advisor takes care of everything, and you get paid if the sale goes through: €500 on average for a listing (lowest average reward recorded in 2025). You can also invite people you know and earn €75 on average on each of their successful referrals.

How can I estimate my income as an advisor?

The simulator calculates your income for your situation: career change, network switch or joining with your agency team. All values can be changed. Results are indicative, in euros excl. VAT, before contributions and taxes (iad France conditions).

Where can I read your clients' reviews?

My clients rate me 5/5 on Immodvisor, a review platform verified under the NF ISO 20488 standard. My Google reviews are linked at the bottom of every page.

I'm already an iad advisor.

This site is for people who are not yet part of the network. The iad code of ethics forbids encouraging an advisor to change teams: your sponsor remains your contact. I look forward to working together on shared deals.

Shall we talk it over a coffee?

A first no-obligation chat, in Perpignan or by video call. It's on me.
