We are an agency with a Scandinavian identity and we apply its methodology, with seriousness, transparency, dedication and customer satisfaction as key words.

Customers with strong purchasing power

We have a large Scandinavian and international clientele. Our clients are looking for a property on the Côte d'Azur and, most often, it is the purchase of a second home. This clientele has the means and the financing is in most cases already granted. (No French bank loans)

We have been on the real estate landscape for 20 years and we have carried out multiple transactions in the Alpes-Maritimes and the Var. Our team is made up of around forty people, all multilingual (French, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Italian, Spanish, etc.)

Frequently asked questions about selling

What are your agency fees?

Our fees are published and can be consulted on our fees page. They are payable only if the sale is actually completed before the notary.

How long does it take to sell on the French Riviera?

Over the last twelve months, the average time between listing and final signature has been three to six months, varying greatly with the initial asking price. A property priced correctly from the start sells markedly faster.

Which documents should I gather before selling?

The title deed, the compulsory technical surveys (energy performance, asbestos, lead, electricity, gas where applicable) and, for a property in co-ownership: the last three general meeting minutes, the co-ownership rules and the level of charges.

Can I sell from abroad without travelling?

Yes. Signature can be done by notarised power of attorney, and many notaries now accept remote electronic signature. We regularly assist sellers living in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Do I need a sole agency mandate?

It is not compulsory, but it is what allows us to commit the heaviest resources: distribution across our international networks, professional photography, and promotion to our buyer database. We explain both options without pressure.

What capital gains tax applies to non-residents?

Non-residents are taxed in France on property capital gains, with tapering relief according to the holding period and full exemption after 22 years (income tax) and 30 years (social levies). Every situation differs: we point you to a notary or tax adviser before you commit.
