The property business moves fast. Listings appear, change, and disappear in hours. Pigeimmo exists to help professionals keep pace by gathering fresh ads in one place and turning them into usable leads without endless tab-hopping.
This guide explains what the platform is, how it works day to day, where it shines, where it doesn’t, and how agents, investors, and agencies can fold it into a repeatable prospecting routine.
What is Pigeimmo?
In French real-estate jargon, “pige” means prospecting for new ads; “immo” means real estate. Put together, Pigeimmo refers to software that centralises new listings from multiple sources and makes them searchable and actionable.
Rather than visiting portals one by one, users open a single dashboard, filter what matters, and jump on good opportunities faster than competitors.
How it works (plain English)
- Collect — The tool fetches ads from public sources and normalises fields like title, price, surface, rooms, location, and contact details.
- Clean — Duplicates are detected, spam is reduced, and incomplete records are flagged.
- Classify — Listings are tagged by purpose (sale/rent), type (house, flat, commercial), geography, and time.
- Alert — Saved searches trigger instant or scheduled notifications so you don’t miss a fit.
- Act — One click opens the original ad or starts a call/email, depending on your workflow.
Core benefits
- Speed to lead: Be first to contact owners or agencies posting fresh stock.
- Coverage: See more of the market without opening ten sites.
- Consistency: Saved searches + alerts = daily pipeline without willpower.
- Focus: Filters remove noise so you work only the briefs that match.
- Learning: Trends in price, DOM, and hotspots become obvious over time.
Key features that matter in practice
Unified feed
One consolidated stream of new and updated ads reduces the “where did I see that?” problem.
Powerful filters
Combine city, radius, price bands, rooms, surface, property type, availability window, and keywords. Save any combination as a reusable search.
De-duplication
The same flat listed on two portals clogs your queue. A good pige tool merges lookalikes so each opportunity appears once.
Alerts your way
Real-time popups for urgent briefs; daily/weekly digests for slower mandates. Route alerts to email, SMS, or in-app—whatever keeps you responsive.
Lightweight CRM moves
Tag, star, comment, and set next-steps. Export to your main CRM when a lead matures.
Team collaboration
Share saved searches, split territories, and avoid stepping on each other’s toes.
Who gets the most value?
- Solo agents who need consistent outbound habits without hiring a prospector.
- Boutique agencies that win listings by reacting first and following up better.
- Buy-side investors tracking price misprints, stale stock, and sudden drops.
- Developers/land sourcers monitoring parcels, teardown candidates, and zoning mentions.
Everyday workflow (30–45 minutes)
- Open your “priority” saved search and scan the last 24 hours.
- Tag A, B, C based on fit; add quick notes (e.g., “top floor, elevator, south-facing”).
- Contact all A’s immediately with a short, relevant opener.
- Calendar follow-ups for unanswered messages.
- Log learnings: repeated price points, streets that move, pictures that signal motivated sellers.
Repeat daily. Small, boring actions compound.
Outreach templates you can adapt
Owner-posted sale
“Hello, I’m working with buyers seeking a two-bed in your area. Your property on Rue X looks aligned on size and budget. Would you be open to a quick call today to discuss conditions and timeline?”
Rental listing (investor angle)
“Hi, I help investors fill vacancies faster and at market rate. Your T2 near Station Y seems ready to let. If you’re open to a chat, I can share demand data and a pre-screening funnel we use locally.”
Keep messages short; reference one concrete detail from the ad; ask for the next step, not a life story.
Data you should track weekly
- New ads seen vs. contacted — shows whether filters are tight enough.
- Response rate — subject lines and first sentences drive this.
- First-to-contact rate — the earlier you reach out, the warmer the reply.
- Appointments booked — ultimate lead indicator.
- Mandates won — the lagging truth.
Dashboards help, but a spreadsheet works if you update it consistently.
Strengths
- Broad market visibility in minutes, not hours.
- Process discipline built in via saved searches and alerts.
- Low ramp-up; most users are productive on day one.
- Plays nicely with your existing CRM/export routines.
Limitations to keep in mind
- Source dependency: If a portal blocks scraping or changes layout, coverage may dip until adapted.
- Over-competition: Popular briefs get swarmed; your message must stand out.
- Owner fatigue: Some private sellers dislike agent outreach; comply with local rules.
- Garbage in, garbage out: Poor original ads still require human vetting.
Advanced tactics
Build micro-searches
Instead of one giant search for “Paris apartments,” create five: “11th arr. ≤40m²,” “outer east ≤€250k,” “top floor only,” etc. Micro-searches fire sharper alerts and reduce noise.
Watch price deltas
Track reductions and time-on-market. Properties dropping twice within two weeks often accept conversations about fees and conditions.
Keyword traps
Save rare keywords (“urgent,” “succession,” “to renovate,” building names) to catch atypical opportunities.
Territory rotation
Run 90-day sprints focusing on three micro-markets rather than spreading thin across ten.
Pair with inbound
Publish a local market update monthly; include anonymised wins you sourced. Owners respond to proof.
Compliance and etiquette
- Respect do-not-contact rules and national opt-out registers.
- Be brief, relevant, and polite. Hard selling burns bridges.
- Identify yourself clearly and include an easy opt-out line in emails.
- Log consent in your CRM before ongoing marketing.
Onboarding checklist (one afternoon)
- Define three buyer/seller avatars with must-have criteria.
- Create one saved search per avatar + a “wildcard” search for serendipity.
- Set alerts (instant for hot briefs; daily digests for the rest).
- Draft two email/SMS openers and a call script.
- Create tags: A now, B later, C archive.
- Decide your follow-up cadence (e.g., Day 0, 2, 7, 14).
- Build a simple tracker.
You’re operational.
Benchmarks (use as starting points, then localise)
- First reply within 15 minutes of the alert.
- 30–50% of A-leads contacted inside the hour.
- 10–20% reply rate on first messages.
- 20–40% of replies become appointments.
Your market may be hotter or colder; measure, then adjust.
Choosing a pige tool (comparison lens)
- Coverage: Which portals and regions are included?
- Update frequency: Near real-time or twice daily?
- Filtering depth: Can you combine geography, features, and keywords?
- De-duplication quality: Minimal clones?
- Exports & API: Easy to move data into your CRM?
- Team roles: Seats, permissions, shared searches.
- Support & roadmap: Is the product actively maintained?
Use a 7–14 day trial and run it alongside your current process; the improvement should be obvious.
Common mistakes (and easy fixes)
- Everything alerting, all the time → Split into instant and digest alerts.
- Vague messages → Reference a concrete detail and propose a call slot.
- No follow-up → Add two reminders by default; most wins happen after message #2.
- Messy data → Tag religiously; future you will say thanks.
Case snapshot (composite example)
A two-person agency in Lyon targeted first-time-buyer stock ≤€250k. They created four micro-searches, enabled instant alerts, and used a 3-touch sequence. Within six weeks they booked 19 owner appointments and signed 7 exclusive mandates—time previously spent trawling portals was redirected into calls and visits.
Final thoughts
Pigeimmo isn’t magic; it’s leverage. The software gathers the haystack; your process finds the needles. With tight searches, disciplined outreach, and steady follow-up, you build a pipeline that survives market swings and competitor noise. Start small, measure weekly, refine, and keep shipping those messages—today’s quick contact becomes tomorrow’s signed mandate.
