Property type · Vence
In Vence, on the French Riviera, the villa is found outside the ramparts: on the slopes of the chapelle du Rosaire, west towards Tourrettes-sur-Loup, south towards La Colle-sur-Loup, with a pool in the garden. Home Select hunts it before it is listed, qualifies it on documents and on video, and groups your decisive viewings into a single trip.

The essentials
Home Select, buyer’s agent in Vence, searches for villas exclusively on the buyer's behalf. Median of the sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026: €5,400/m² (121 sales, DVF). Home Select opens access to off-market properties, with fees 100% on success.
On the ground
The villa reads on the house median of the survey, €5,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, which mixes bastides, village houses and villas: it places the market, not an address. The stock spans a century: artists’ villas such as Villa Le Rêve, where Matisse settled during the war, sixties villas to bring up to date, contemporary houses turned south. What makes the price: the view, a flat plot or well-kept terraces, the pool, the exposure, and the road that runs quickly down to Cagnes-sur-Mer and the motorway.
Who buys: European buyers, often loyal to Vence after years of holidays, families from the coast who want space and a pool half an hour from the airport, couples preparing retirement and looking for a single-storey home. The season opens in spring; winter, keener than on the shore, shows what heating and shade cost. The best-placed villas sell without a listing, between notaires, local agents and families: Home Select’s network of 15,000 partners opens that door.

Alpes-Maritimes
The slopes of the chapelle du Rosaire, on the road to Saint-Jeannet, for the villa that looks at old Vence and the distant sea; the west, towards Tourrettes-sur-Loup, for the quiet villa among olive trees and valleys; the south, from Saint-Lambert to La Colle-sur-Loup, for the single-storey family villa, twenty minutes from the beaches; the slopes of the baous for the perched villa, when the view comes before access.
On the ground
On this market, a share of the sought-after properties sells before publication, between families and through notaires and local networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 partners.
Every lead is verified and priced for you before you travel, on file then on a video viewing: you view only the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip. Home Select then defends your offer, with a complete file and the actual sales of the area in hand.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed. On top comes 10% of the negotiated reduction: Home Select is also paid on what you save.

The Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
Two landscapes. South and east, from the slopes of the chapelle du Rosaire to La Colle-sur-Loup, the sea appears in the distance on clear days; to the north-west, beneath the baous, the view closes on the cliffs and opens onto old Vence. A sea view depends on height, orientation and what could rise below, to be read in the local urban plan. Home Select has it filmed room by room during the video pre-viewing.
Two neighbours, two lives. Vence sells a real year-round town, market, schools and medieval city, higher and cooler in summer, at a house median of €5,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026; La Colle-sur-Loup, lower down, sells the villa minutes from the coast and the motorway, at €6,000/m². Saint-Paul-de-Vence, between the two, rises to €6,800/m². Use decides: town life beneath the baous, or the coast within reach.
Energy first: insulation, single glazing, oil or old electric heating, which the energy performance certificate measures; the Vence winter makes them costly. Then the asbestos survey, wiring, the waterproofing of flat roofs and private drainage, inspected by the SPANC. Last, extensions: each must have been authorised, conservatory and pool house included. Have the upgrade costed before the offer.
The median stands at €5,400/m² across 121 sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). It is a market benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Vence and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Vence, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the old town, then Le Malvan. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Vence, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
