Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in Grasse. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
Your project
Guessed from your location: an underlined word changes with a click.
The world capital of perfume built its fortune on flower fields, leather and flacons, and its old town on a spur watched over by the Notre-Dame-du-Puy cathedral and the town houses of the winter visitors. Fragonard, Galimard and Molinard receive visitors all year, the Fragonard museum occupies an eighteenth-century hôtel particulier, and the station, terminus of the line, puts Cannes twenty-five minutes away. This is a complete town, ~51,000 residents, hospitals, secondary schools, markets, set between the Mediterranean and the hills. What is bought here: the village house with thick walls, the bastide and its garden of olive trees, the view of the sea on a clear day, the hinterland at its most complete.
A buyer’s agent works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Grasse.
A Home Select finder writes your brief, launches the search within the week and stays with you until the deed is signed. Home Select answers every enquiry within 24 working hours.
Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties a day from its 15,000 partners, agents, notaries and managing agents, before they go on sale. The finest addresses in Grasse often change hands this way.
Home Select pre-visits every property on commented video and shows only 3 properties on average, instead of 40 when searching alone, grouped into a single trip if you come from afar.
Home Select negotiates 6% on average off the asking price, with the area’s actual sales in hand, and checks every document before you commit. Also paid 10% of the negotiated reduction, Home Select has every reason to bring the price down: you keep 90% of every euro saved. Fees are due on success: nothing before signing.
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Grasse.
They search on your behalf and for you alone, from the written brief to the checking of every document up to the final deed: the six steps are detailed below. Home Select works for the buyer, never for the seller.
A main home, a second home, a pied-à-terre or a long-term wealth purchase in Grasse, whether you are on site or abroad: the search is run remotely, video viewings included, up to the decisive viewing.
Home Select runs two offers, with the same full service: the Exclusive offer, an exclusive mandate, 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, at every budget; the Confidential offer, a simple mandate reserved for projects of €2m and above, 1.5% of the net purchase price, dedicated to off-market properties. In both cases, 10% of the negotiated reduction is added to the fees, and nothing is due until you have bought.
The calendar depends on the market in Grasse and on how rare the target property is: Home Select sets it at the first conversation, then holds it, and answers within one working day.

Outside the centre, many Grasse houses rely on a private drainage system, inspected by the SPANC: tank, spreading, a set-up in order or to renew. Ask for the latest inspection report and have an upgrade costed before the offer: this item weighs on the budget, and on the negotiation.
In the old town as in Magagnosc, the house sits against the neighbour: walls, gutters, sheds and openings depend on the party-wall rules. A shared wall, a right of way or a window right turn an extension project into an administrative affair. These rights are read on the title and at the town hall before the offer, never after.
The finest addresses are sometimes the least practical: sloping lane, narrow gate, no room for a removal lorry, parking three streets away. Make the journey for real, with a lorry if possible, and check water, electricity and networks, which are verified address by address on the slopes.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Grasse, and what you gain from it.
Everything starts with a thorough conversation: the use of the property, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the calendar. This written framing becomes the roadmap of the hunt, and avoids the months lost viewing beside the point.
Every property put to you matches your brief: the search hits the mark from the first week.
Home Select covers the whole market: published listings, and above all what is never displayed anywhere. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
You see properties before the market does, and sometimes properties that will never be published.
Every lead is verified and analysed for you, on file then on a video viewing: technical sheet, first figures. You only travel for properties that truly match the brief.
Fewer journeys: your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip, on the shortlisted properties only.
The offer is drafted and defended by Home Select, complete file in hand. The negotiation covers the price, but also the conditions, the timelines and the works revealed.
You buy at the right price, every offer defended with the area’s actual sales in hand.
Preliminary contract read line by line, surveys, co-ownership rules, charges, easements: every document is checked before you commit. The points of vigilance specific to each local market are in Home Select’s checklists.
You commit with full knowledge of the facts, with no bad surprise after signing.
Home Select stays by your side through to the signing before the notaire, and after: contractors, formalities, moving. Its work ends when you are settled in, not when the deed is signed.
A timetable framed at the first conversation, then kept: at every stage you know where your purchase stands.
A share of the finest sales in Grasse completes without ever being listed. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before publication, and also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
Two offers, the same full service, paid on success only: the Exclusive offer, 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT), at every budget, and the Confidential offer, 1.5%, for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Nothing is due until you have bought in Grasse.

Page updated on 9 October 2026, reviewed by Jean Mascla, founder of Home Select
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 864 sales were recorded in Grasse: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments is up +8% since June 2022, +3% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.
Sales range from €1,700/m² to €4,400/m²: address and condition make the price.
Grasse lives on two stocks of houses. The old house first: lanes of the old town, coloured façades, town houses divided into flats, roof terraces; and the village of Magagnosc, to the east, which kept its ancient heart and its adjoining houses. Then the bastide, on the slopes: ochre walls, gardens of olive trees, pines, sometimes the sea in the distance. Demand comes from Parisians and Northern Europeans won over by the heritage of perfume, retirees who want a complete town all year, families who accept the commute to Cannes, Sophia Antipolis or Nice in exchange for the space only the hinterland offers.
In the old town, the listing photographs the chimney and skips the neighbour: these houses touch one another, sharing walls and roofs, and every opening is settled with the adjoining owner. Access is checked the same way: a sloping lane, its width, room for a removal lorry, parking at a distance. On the slopes, the bastide has its laws: private drainage and SPANC inspection, brush clearance at the edge of the woods, retaining walls, rights of way. The state of roof timbers and roofings, tested by the autumn rain, is read in the invoices before the offer.
Grasse lives twelve months a year, and so does its market: winter, which empties the coast, leaves real life here, its markets and perfume houses open; spring and the September return remain the most active windows. Home Select runs the search remotely, from its management and with its network of 15,000 partners: brief set by video call, properties qualified on documents and in a video pre-viewing, prices set against real sales from the DVF records, decisive viewings grouped into a single trip, through to the signing at the notaire’s office.

Median for apartments over 12 months to end of June, year by year. A period without enough sales at the threshold is not published: the curve skips it rather than inventing a point.
The city and its department: Grasse trades 39% below its department median (€4,900/m²), same vintage and same method.

From the cathedral spur to the bastides of the slopes, Grasse runs from the village house to the olive-planted bastide, the sea in the distance.
The spur crowned by the Notre-Dame-du-Puy cathedral: stepped lanes, shaded squares, town houses built for the winter visitors, museums and workshops. The old house is rare here, often awaiting renovation, with thick walls and sloping levels; the roofs open terraces over the town. View, adjoining walls and access are checked before the offer.
Below the spur, around the cours Honoré-Cresp and the shopping streets, the practical town: older buildings and residences, apartments with balconies, a few island houses to discover. This is the quarter of shops on foot, the market, the cafés; the address for buyers who want the town before the panorama, and the first comparison for anyone hesitating between apartment and house.
Two kilometres from the centre, around the station where the regional train runs to Cannes: an easy residential quarter, buildings and houses with gardens, families and commuters who take the train. The perfume houses welcome visitors at the gates of the sector. A good point of comparison for the buyer who wants the house with a garden without giving up the rail.
The attached village, east towards Mouans-Sartoux: an ancient heart with its adjoining houses, surrounded by villas and gardens, stretching to Saint-Mathieu. The family address, countryside on one side, the road to Sophia Antipolis and the coast on the other. A sector compared house by house with the upper town.
The slopes behind the town: ochre bastides, gardens of olive trees, terraced walls and pines, and the sea in the distance when the air is clear. This is the kingdom of the house with a garden, often on private drainage, with access best judged with a removal lorry. Calm and view are checked on the spot, at the first visit that counts.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Grasse
Grasse at a glance
Life in Grasse reads on two levels. The old town: Notre-Dame-du-Puy cathedral, stepped lanes, shaded squares, museums and workshops. Below, the cours Honoré-Cresp beats like an artery, shops and cafés; the Fragonard, Galimard and Molinard perfume houses receive visitors all year, and the town houses recall the time when Europe, come for the winter, built here.
Around, the pays de Grasse unfolds its villages: Mouans-Sartoux and its château, Opio and its olives, Pégomas and the Siagne valley, the gorges de la Loup to the north. The sea stays close: Cannes and its beaches half an hour away, Nice and its airport three quarters of an hour. And every spring, the picking of the May rose stirs the fields of the country, as it has for centuries.
Grasse’s long-term value lies in stone and land: the ochre bastide and its olive garden are kept and handed down, and the old town yields old houses that renovation brings back district by district. Liquidity plays on the exact address, access and the state of the building, never on floor area alone.
The old town for the house with thick walls and roof terraces; Magagnosc, east, for the old village heart and its adjoining houses. The heights, finally, for the bastide, the olive trees and the sea in the distance on clear days.
Grasse is a complete town, hospitals, secondary schools, markets and perfumeries open all year: the practical side of the Azur hinterland. The regional train puts Cannes twenty-five minutes away, Sophia Antipolis is half an hour by road and Nice airport about an hour.
Grasse station, the end of the line, puts Cannes twenty-five minutes away by regional train with the TGV connection in its wake, and the road drops to Antibes and Sophia Antipolis in half an hour. Nice-Côte d’Azur airport is about an hour in quiet traffic; the town itself lives twelve months a year, hospitals, secondary schools and markets included.
The international community in Grasse. The world capital of perfume has received an international clientele for two centuries, from perfumers to northern Europeans and Americans taken with the hinterland: retirees settled year round, families who accept the commute to Cannes and Sophia Antipolis. Services follow, from hospitals to schools, and the historic perfumeries, Fragonard, Galimard, Molinard, welcome visitors all year.
When to visit, when to buy? Grasse lives twelve months a year and so does its market: spring and the September return stay the busiest windows, and winter, which empties the coast, leaves the real town, markets and perfumeries open. For a remote buyer, winter sets the brief and spring brings the viewings.
Because the local market has its own rules. Adjoining village houses: walls, gutters and openings are settled with the neighbour before any works. A buyer’s agent works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026), the median price in Grasse stands at €3,000/m² for an apartment and €4,800/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in the survey: Mouans-Sartoux, €5,700/m² median. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 3 rooms traded at a median of €3,000/m², on a median surface of 64 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €192,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
The old town for character: lanes, thick walls, terraces, life on foot, at the cost of access that is sometimes narrow. Saint-Claude and the station for the train: Cannes in twenty-five minutes, houses with gardens, an easy quarter. The heights for space: bastides, olive trees, calm, counting on the car every day. Use decides, then the works budget: the old house is costed before the offer, not after signing.
Yes, and it is an increasingly common choice. The regional train links Grasse to Cannes in twenty to thirty minutes from the terminus station; Sophia Antipolis is about half an hour by road; Nice airport is within an hour in quiet traffic. In return, the house here offers what the coast no longer proposes: old walls, a garden, a complete town all year. Home Select checks the real journeys before keeping an address.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 864 sales were recorded in Grasse: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments is up +8% since June 2022, +3% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Grasse 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 Grasse, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the old town and the cathedral, then the cours and the shopping centre. That is often where the unfindable property is.
The old town gives the stone, the lanes, life on foot and the roof terraces; it asks for works and patience with the neighbours. The slopes give the bastide, the olive trees, the garden and the car for every trip; they ask for private drainage and the upkeep of the land. Use decides: the character house for stays and retirement, the bastide for the family and the year-round life.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Grasse, runs the search remotely from its management, with its network of 15,000 partners. The brief is set by video call or phone, every house is qualified on documents then in a video pre-viewing run with the seller’s agent, and the price is tested against comparable DVF sales before the negotiation. You come only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip; Home Select then secures the purchase and coordinates the notaire.
Yes: the station, terminus of the line, puts Cannes twenty to thirty minutes away by regional train, with regular weekday departures; by road, Cannes is about half an hour, Sophia Antipolis half an hour, Nice airport under an hour in quiet traffic. Enough to live in the hinterland without turning your back on the sea or on work.
Access first: slope, width, turning space, room for emergency vehicles. Drainage next, with its SPANC inspection, and brush clearance at the woodland edge. Then the retaining walls, the rainwater, and the state of the roof, tested by the autumn rain every year. The surveys fall to the seller; the works are costed before the offer. Home Select has these documents checked before any proposal.
Magagnosc, to the east, offers the attached village: ancient heart, adjoining houses, villas and gardens around, the road to Mouans-Sartoux and Sophia Antipolis close by. Central Grasse offers the complete town: shops, markets, station, services, and rarer houses in the old blocks. Families wanting the countryside choose Magagnosc; those wanting everything on foot stay in the centre.
Spring, when the May rose is picked across the country, and September are the most active; winter stays mild and shows the real town, the Grassois’ own, with the perfume houses open and the markets alive. It is often the best time to visit seriously. The right method remains the video pre-viewing, which sorts the files before the trip.
Yes, though not as a local branch: outside Île-de-France, Home Select runs every search from its head office, with its network of 15,000 professional partners. Each property is vetted on paper, then toured in a video pre-viewing led with the seller’s agent, and you travel only once, for the decisive viewings. The guide “Buying property in France remotely” spells out how it works.
To hunt in Grasse, check four points: a search mandate on the buyer’s side only, published fees due on success, a written method, proof that lasts. Home Select answers all four: founded in 2011, 1,200+ buyers guided, 4.8/5 on Google (140 reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Grasse, 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.
The questions common to every city (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page.
One point of contact, one method, the same fees: the search does not stop at the limits of Grasse. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
