The easiest way to explain what a ‘marchand de biens’ is in terms of French real estate, is that a marchand de biens is an individual who buys properties repeatedly with the intention to re sell the properties for a profit. He or she is a professional property investor who typically looks to buy low, typically renovate and sell at a higher price.

We understand that at this time (September 2013) a Marchand de biens has a special tax status relating to the fees they pay to notaries.
