Our philosophy

Real estate excellence,
in and from Reunion Island

Founded on a simple conviction: international investors who choose Reunion Island deserve an agency worthy of their project — not just another broker. Here's who we are and how we work.

Réunion Immobilier is a regulated French real estate agency, founded by Ritchel Pitou, certified Real Estate Expert and Director of Agence Immo Transac. Our mission: serve as the trusted bilingual gateway for international investors acquiring property in Reunion Island — with rigor, transparency, local expertise, and commitment as non-negotiable standards.

Our story

Réunion Immobilier was founded by Ritchel Pitou in Reunion Island, on a firm belief: for a transaction that often represents the largest financial decision of a lifetime, every client deserves a rigorous, trained, transparent, and fully committed professional — not a hurried salesperson.

Born in Sainte-Clotilde, Ritchel combines 15 years of field experience with three complementary certifications (SNPI Real Estate Expert, CIF Financial Investment Advisor, IOBSP Banking Intermediary) covering the full spectrum of valuation, investment, and financing. Under his leadership, the agency serves French investors as well as international investors who are discovering Reunion Island — with the same demanding standard.

Four non-negotiable values

These are not marketing slogans. They guide every decision, every mandate, every piece of advice.

01 · Rigor

Every valuation, every file, every piece of advice rests on verified data and deep field knowledge. No approximation.

02 · Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprises. You know exactly where you stand at every step of your project. Published rate card.

03 · Local expertise

Each municipality, each district, each micro-market of the island is mastered by our team. Reunion is not one market — it is 24 micro-markets.

04 · Commitment

Your property is not a file number. It is a personal commitment from us, through to signature at the notary.

Coverage: all 24 municipalities of Reunion Island

We operate across all 24 municipalities of the island: Saint-Denis, Saint-Paul, Saint-Pierre, Le Tampon, Saint-André, Saint-Louis, Le Port, La Possession, Saint-Benoît, Sainte-Marie, Saint-Leu, Saint-Joseph, L'Étang-Salé, Sainte-Suzanne, La Plaine des Palmistes, Les Avirons, Bras-Panon, Trois-Bassins, Cilaos, Entre-Deux, Petite-Île, Salazie, Sainte-Rose, and Saint-Philippe.

Each municipality has its own dynamics: price trends, rental pressure, PPR zones (natural-risk plans), planning rules, land viability. We track all of this in real time.

A fully regulated agency

Réunion Immobilier operates under the strict framework of the Hoguet Law (n° 70-9 of 2 January 1970) regulating the real estate profession in France.

« Real estate is not just a transaction. It is the story of a life, a family, an estate. It deserves to be treated with the seriousness it demands. » — Ritchel Pitou, CEO & Founder
