Real Estate & Crypto: Chabert Group teams up with Legibloq to redesign real estate transactions
The adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to grow (over 12% of French citizens reported owning crypto assets in 2024, according to an ADAN/KPMG study), and the real estate sector can benefit from this revolution. Thanks to an innovative partnership between Chabert Group and Legibloq, buyers can now search for and acquire any property using crypto, with full security and compliance.
To better understand this collaboration and its implications, we spoke with Chabert Group and Legibloq in an exclusive interview.
Meeting Between Legibloq and Chabert Group
Chabert Group, how did this partnership come about, and why Legibloq?
We have always aimed to stand out and offer our clients the widest range of opportunities. So, when we discovered Legibloq at the latest DIIF Business Club's real estate event, we were drawn to their vision and approach to our industry.
Listening, understanding clients' needs, and anticipating them are values we share, which naturally brought us together.
Legibloq, why focus directly on real estate agencies, and Chabert Group in particular?
Although our clients are exclusively buyers looking to pay with crypto, real estate agents are undeniably key players in this ecosystem. Whether they aim to provide their sellers with a broader pool of potential buyers or attract new investor profiles (foreign buyers, crypto enthusiasts…), it is our role to support them at every stage of their journey.
So, when we met Chabert Group and saw their enthusiasm for this topic, we were more than delighted that they chose us as their partner.
A Unique Alliance to Revolutionize Real Estate
Chabert Group, why is a traditional real estate agency betting on crypto?
The real estate sector is highly competitive—there are, for example, over 15 agencies just here in Villefranche-sur-Mer. It is therefore essential to stand out and provide our clients with the best possible solutions to meet their needs. With this in mind, embracing emerging market trends and offering a comprehensive solution to address them felt like a natural step for us.
Legibloq, how do you support real estate agencies in this transition?
Our mission is to secure cryptocurrency transactions by offering an escrow service compliant with the PSAN status regulated by the AMF. Specifically, we ensure fund traceability, availability, and conversion into euros, guaranteeing real estate agencies a smooth transaction without legal risks. We also handle regulatory compliance, particularly regarding anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML-CFT), eliminating any complexity for the agency and its clients.
Funds are held securely, made available on the signing day, and transferred in euros to a CDC account via our partner notaries—just like any traditional sale.
The Impact of Crypto on the Local Real Estate Market
Chabert Group, how does this service benefit your clients?
First and foremost, it provides greater flexibility, especially for foreign investors who already hold crypto assets and want to avoid banking delays.
Additionally, these transactions are often faster than traditional payments and eliminate the administrative complexities associated with international bank transfers.
Finally, working with buyers who already have the necessary funds readily available ensures smoother transactions for sellers, removing the need for complex financing arrangements, which are often sources of delays or cancellations.
A Win-Win Partnership
Chabert Group, how does this partnership change your approach to the market?
This is a real transformation for our business. By enabling crypto-asset payments, we expand our pool of potential buyers and position ourselves as an innovative, forward-thinking agency. This partnership allows us to be pioneers in a rapidly evolving market.
Legibloq, do you see a growing trend in crypto real estate?
Absolutely. More and more investors are looking to diversify their assets and integrate their digital holdings into the real economy. Real estate is an excellent opportunity, but until now, there was a lack of simple yet comprehensive, secure, and compliant solutions.
With agencies like Chabert Group, we are building an ecosystem where crypto becomes a fully legitimate payment method, just like any other.
Conclusion & Future Outlook
This partnership between Chabert Group and Legibloq marks a major step forward in integrating cryptocurrencies into real estate. Thanks to a secure and compliant approach, crypto transactions are finally accessible to everyone.
With this innovation, Chabert Group is positioning itself as a key player in the real estate market 2.0. Could you be the next to purchase a property with cryptocurrency?
