Your property in Abidjan, monitored from abroad.

You live in France, Canada or the United States, and your flat or house is in Abidjan. We let it, maintain it and report to you, with the figures to back it up: every franc of your rent stays visible wherever you are.

  • Real-time owner portal
  • A statement with every payout
  • Mandate signed remotely
§ 1 · Transparency

What you see, from your phone.

Your property is managed in GIMMO, the software developed by our SIZ Digital division. You have your own access: what we see, you see.

01Your owner portal

Rent collected, arrears, ongoing work and documents, property by property.

02A statement with every payout

Receipts, charges, fees and balance paid out, in PDF, to keep or pass on to your accountant.

03An annual report

The year's summary for each property: useful for decisions, and for your tax returns.

04All documents in one place

Lease, check-in reports with photos, rent receipts, quotes and work reports.

05Alerts, not surprises

You are informed as soon as a first payment is missed, a notice to vacate is given or a quote needs approval.

06The schedule you choose

Monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual payouts, set in the mandate.

§ 4 · Frequently asked questions

What owners abroad ask.

Do I need to come to Abidjan to sign the mandate?

No. The management mandate is signed remotely, by electronic signature validated with a code sent to your phone.

You receive the signed document in your portal, along with all the other documents for your property.

How do I get paid when I live abroad?

The payout frequency (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual) and the destination account are set in the mandate.

Each payout comes with a management statement: receipts, charges, fees and balance, property by property.

How are your fees set?

They are written into the management mandate, with the exact scope of what they cover and the list of what is charged on top.

We present them to you before signing, not on the first statement.

Who chooses the tenant?

You do. We compile and check the applications (identity, income, consistency with the rent), then present the shortlisted applicants with our analysis. The final decision is yours.

What happens if rent is unpaid?

A graduated reminder process starts as soon as the arrears are noted, and you are informed as soon as the first payment is missed.

SIZ Immobilier is not an insurer: rent default insurance is a separate product, taken out separately.

Can I take back my property or change property manager?

Yes, according to the term and notice period set out in the mandate. All your documents are returned to you: leases, check-in reports, history of payments and works.
