Zefir has just completed a fundraising of 4 million euros. This is the largest first round of financing ever carried out by a real estate startup in France.
A new real estate model
Zefir is a young company, founded in 2020 by two Lille residents , which offers a revolutionary model for selling your house or apartment.
Instead of going through real estate agents, doing works, visits, having offers, counter-offers, withdrawals – in other words a long and stressful process of about 6 months – Zefir buys the property directly at the right price , in exchange for a transparent 8% service fee.
Zefir signs in 7 days. The whole process is simple and digitized. If you buy another property afterwards, your sale is secure. The icing on the cake, Zefir is flexible on the moving date.
Simple operation
To go through Zefir, all you have to do is make an offer request on the zefir.fr website. Zefir sends you an initial indicative offer. If you like it, a visit is organized to prepare a final and firm offer. All this is free and without obligation.
You then sign a compromise with Zefir and release your funds to be able to move serenely.
A historic fundraiser
Zefir has just completed a fundraising of 4 million euros . This is the largest first round of financing ever carried out by a real estate startup in France.
Renowned investors have decided to support Zefir: Xavier Niel as well as American and English investment funds behind global successes such as Dailymotion, Deliveroo or Pinterest.
An adventure that has only just begun
After having acquired some twenty real estate properties in the Lille metropolitan area for a total business volume exceeding 4 million euros, Zefir’s objective is to acquire one property per day by the end of the year.
With a team made up of talents from École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, Columbia University and ESCP, Zefir’s ambition is to allow everyone to be able to change their lives instantly, in one click.
