Selling your property - why should you work with us ?
We offer flexible conditions
Luckily, we are not tied to the strict internal rules as often seen in french real estate agencies: No need to sign an exclusive mandate for 12month or more! We offer flexible contracts with short duration terms, starting with three month only - no strings attached!
You are free to end our partnership at any time! (But we are sure you won't!) Test us! Our standard commission is 6% TTC of the selling price.
For clients with exclusive mandates we expand our reach to more platforms and marketing options.
Depending on the nature of the property we will commission a professional photographer/videographer/drone flight.
Specialised in foreign clients
Not only do we share with our clients the love for the south of France, we also understand them. We know how overwhelming it can be to buy property in another country and we guide them through the intricacies of the French buying procedure, handling all the necessary famous french bureaucracy and "paperasse" (paperwork) for them.
Together, we are fluent in four languages: English, German, French, and Dutch. Having lived across the globe, we possess a profound understanding of diverse cultures and the variations in real estate markets.
Especially when it comes to German or American clients we are experts: We know what they are looking for, what quality or service they expect and the way they negotiate. Trust us, it is different!
The current market
In the post-pandemic era, the property market, even on the traditionally stable Côte d'Azur, has undergone transformations. It is difficult times to sell and great times to buy. It has turned from a sellers market to a buyers market.
It is now more crucial than ever to formulate an effective marketing strategy and conduct a realistic price assessment.
While prices have largely held steady, challenges such as limited access to credit due to higher interest rates have resulted in prolonged marketing times and diminished overall demand.
We are here to offer expert advice without obligation, ensuring you navigate these changes with confidence and take informed decisions for your sale.
Our search clients
We do offer an exceptional service to our international clients and therefore most of them sign an exclusive search mandate with us.
With this mandate we accompany them on all of their visits, often in collaboration with other local real estate agencies.
We do not only help them to find the right property in the right area, but also work with multilingual notary offices, architects, interior designers and various other service providers, including home staging, pool maintenance, gardening and many more.
With such an exclusive search mandate we don't even need a sales mandate for the seller side, the buyer takes our commission in charge in this case.
We create a wide and international reach for your property ads
We are advertising your property on national and international plattforms, and find the right customer group for your property.
While the demand is in general lower in the current market, we archive to have a steady flow of serious international clients, especially Germans and Americans.
Combination of print and online ads
Next to online ads we regularly place ads in foreign print press like
"Frankreich Magazin" or "Frankreich erleben" in Germany, "En Route" and "Leven in Frankrijk" in the Netherlands and Belgium. For exclusive mandates we can highlight your property and reach clients that are not actively searching yet.
