Buyer’s agent on the Côte d’Azur

From Saint-Tropez to Menton, the Côte d’Azur is the most international residential market in France: confidential caps, prestigious seafronts, hills and back country. On the Riviera more than anywhere else, great properties are not listed: they circulate in a circle where Home Select hunts for its clients.

Your project

Your purchase

  • The written offer binds.A written offer, accepted as it stands, forms the sale: it carries a short validity and your conditions, the loan first. We draft it and defend it, complete file in hand.
  • Ten days to change your mind.After the preliminary contract, ten days to withdraw from the day after its notification, no reason needed: the moment to read the surveys and co-ownership minutes, which we go through with you line by line.
  • Three to four months to the keys.A loan condition of at least a month, the town’s pre-emption right for two months, then the final deed: we hold the dates with the notaire.
  • Notaire fees.Around 7 to 8% of the price for an existing property, of which nearly 5.81% are duties paid to the State and local authorities, 2 to 3% for a new build: to budget on top of the price.
  • Every year after that.Property tax on 1 January, the second-home residence tax in November, sometimes increased in high-demand areas, charges, upkeep, keeping an eye on the house: the budget of a second home goes beyond the price.
The 47 steps of a purchase

Your area

  • The Riviera in every season.Nice airport is two hours from Europe’s capitals; the capes are never advertised, they are known.
  • Prices.Depending on the town, from €3,700/m² to €37,400/m² in median over the 12 months to end of June 2026, for the 28 towns of the area with their own page.
  • Bespoke too.Beyond the towns with their own page, we also hunt Cavalaire-sur-Mer and the Maures corniche · Beausoleil and La Turbie · Grasse and its back country · Seillans and the villages of the Pays de Fayence · Vence and Tourrettes-sur-Loup.
  • On the ground.A worldwide clientele: the codes, the calendars and the negotiations are international.
  • Your buyer’s agent.One point of contact on the Côte d’Azur, from the first viewing to the signing, who replies within 24 working hours, with the network of 15,000 partners behind.
Buyer’s agent on the Côte d’Azur

Our services

  • Between stays.Our concierge service lets the tradesmen in, checks after every storm or frost, prepares your arrival, and you decide on photos: a house looked after from afar does not sleep.
  • 100 off-market properties a day.Our 15,000 partners, agents, notaires and managing agents, bring us at least 100 properties before they go on sale, and a watch over 1,700 listing sites covers the published market: 15% of the properties our clients buy are found off-market, 25% above €2m.
  • Three viewings, not forty.Our clients view 3 properties on average before buying, about 15 hours of their time, against 40+ viewings and 150 hours on their own: every lead is pre-visited, filmed and costed, you only travel for the decisive viewing.
  • Paid 100% on success.2.5% of the net seller price with the Exclusive Offer (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT), 1.5% with the Confidential Offer from €2m, plus 10% of the negotiation obtained: nothing is due until the deed is signed, the Hoguet law forbids it.
  • 6% on average.We negotiate on the prices actually paid, published by the tax administration, not on asking prices: 6% on average off the seller’s price, measured over more than 1,200 purchases.

Market benchmarks

The property market on the Côte d’Azur in 2026

Published medians on the Côte d’Azur range from €3,700/m² (Fayence) to €18,200/m² (Ramatuelle): the gap between two cities of the same area is worth every bit of the brief.

Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 21,618 sales were recorded on the Côte d’Azur according to the Home Select survey: this is hunted city by city, address by address.

How to choose your buyer’s agent Buying remotely, without needless trips Price index

Why use a buyer’s agent on the Côte d’Azur?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent on the Côte d’Azur since 2011, works exclusively for the buyer: watching listed and off-market properties, screening at the visit, negotiating on real prices. The rarest homes on the Côte d’Azur often sell without ever being advertised: that is where the hunt decides. Fees 100% on success.

View the fees

Tailor-made

Beyond the city pages

The hunt does not stop at the pages of this site. Home Select also covers, tailor-made and with the same method:

  • Cavalaire-sur-Mer and the Maures corniche
  • Beausoleil and La Turbie
  • Grasse and its back country
  • Seillans and the villages of the Pays de Fayence
  • Vence and Tourrettes-sur-Loup

Cannot find your city?

Is your project somewhere else on the Côte d’Azur? Name the city: Home Select answers quickly, and candidly, about what can be done there.

On the ground

What changes on the Côte d’Azur

  • A worldwide clientele: the codes, the calendars and the negotiations are international.
  • Off-market dominates the caps and the great properties: monitoring and network make the access.
  • The technical side of Riviera buildings (old co-ownership blocks, pile dwellings, coastal servitudes) demands a dedicated audit.

The Home Select set-up

How does Home Select operate on the Côte d’Azur?

Home Select has guided more than 1,200 buyers since 2011, and its leadership runs your search. On the ground, Home Select activates its network of 15,000 professional partners, who surface properties before they reach the open market. Properties are first seen on a video pre-viewing: you only travel for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip.

Home Select is building its national network city by city, and says so plainly: from day one you get the method, the network and the negotiation; a dedicated local finder takes over your file as each territory opens.

One method, two ways in

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.

Frequently asked questions

What Home Select is asked first

Do you cover the whole Côte d’Azur?

Yes, from Bormes-les-Mimosas to Menton. Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Menton, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Cap-d’Ail, Èze, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Roquefort-les-Pins, Mougins, Valbonne, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Théoule-sur-Mer, Saint-Raphaël, Fréjus, Les Issambres, Sainte-Maxime, Grimaud, Saint-Tropez, Gassin, Ramatuelle, La Croix-Valmer, Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, Le Lavandou, Bormes-les-Mimosas and Fayence have their dedicated page; the rest of the coast and the back country are hunted tailor-made, with the same method.

Do you guide international buyers on the Riviera?

Yes, Home Select counts 50% expatriates or internationals among its clients. The team works in French and in English, and the search can be run entirely remotely until the final viewings.

What are property prices on the Côte d’Azur in 2026?

Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026), the market on the Côte d’Azur ranges from €3,700/m² (Fayence) to €18,200/m² (Ramatuelle) in medians. These are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.

Is the property market on the Côte d’Azur active?

Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 21,618 sales were recorded on the Côte d’Azur across the cities surveyed by Home Select, led by Nice (8,045 sales) and Cannes (2,536 sales). A living market, where reading the micro-markets finely decides everything.

Which cities do you cover on the Côte d’Azur?

29 cities have their dedicated page on the Côte d’Azur: Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Èze, Cap-d’Ail, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Menton, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Roquefort-les-Pins, Valbonne, Mougins, Bormes-les-Mimosas, Le Lavandou, Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, La Croix-Valmer, Ramatuelle, Gassin, Saint-Tropez, Grimaud, Sainte-Maxime, Fayence, Les Issambres, Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Théoule-sur-Mer, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Cannes and Antibes. Beyond them, Cavalaire-sur-Mer and the Maures corniche, Beausoleil and La Turbie, as well as Grasse and its back country and their neighbours are hunted tailor-made, with the same method and the same success-only fees.

What are your fees on the Côte d’Azur?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent on the Côte d’Azur, 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.

What happens next

  1. A buyer’s agent reads your request and answers within one working day.
  2. A first confidential conversation: how you will use the property, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the timing.
  3. A written brief, and a search started within the week. Nothing is due until you have bought.
