Clearwater France has advised Consultim Group’s shareholders, a renowned expert in real estate asset distribution, on the sale of a majority stake to the investment fund BlackFin.

With more than 57,000 units distributed since its creation and a business volume of €605m, the Group is considered a leading real estate investment player in France. Consultim covers the full investment scope, from referencing to distribution - through its commercial brands Cerenicimo, LB2S and VP2, brokerage and financing (Credifinn), accounting (Expertim) and property management (Propertimo). The Group recently developed a real estate dedicated investment vehicle (OPCI), in collaboration with La Française Asset Management.

Following the transaction, BlackFin will become the Group’s majority shareholder, and will pursue the rapid development of the Group. This will be through both organic (new products and services, distribution extension) and external growth.
