Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in Monaco. 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 Principality fits into two square kilometres between the Rock and the sea, and it only grows by reclaiming land from the water: Fontvieille first, then Mareterra in 2024. Some 38,000 residents of nearly 145 nationalities live here, finance executives and high-value residents drawn by the security and the fiscal framework of the Principality. Supply struggles to keep up: residential towers, old buildings renovated from the Carré d’Or to La Condamine, and a handful of very rare houses, up towards the Jardin exotique. Value rests on the view, sea, Rock or port, on the floor, the terrace and the condition of the co-ownership. The formalities go through a Monegasque notaire and registration duties specific to the Principality: a market apart, and one that is prepared in advance.
A buyer’s agent works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Monaco.
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 Monaco 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 Monaco.
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 Monaco, 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 Monaco 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.

In Monaco most of the market lives in co-ownership, from the old palaces of Monte-Carlo to the Larvotto towers: the rules, the general-meeting minutes, the detail of charges and the voted works are asked for before the viewing. A façade to rebuild or a lift to replace change the real cost of a floor; these documents are read before the offer, never after.
The acquisition is signed before a Monegasque notaire, under registration duties and rules specific to the Principality, with no exact French equivalent. These costs, and any agency fees, are confirmed in writing before the offer: they weigh on the trade-off between an apartment in the Principality and a larger floor area on the French side.
Two apartments in the same tower do not see the same thing: sea, Rock, Port Hercule or courtyard, exposure and floor make the difference, and a neighbouring project can close a sightline. The check is done on video, window by window, then on site at busy hours: the view that sets the price is controlled like a survey.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Monaco, 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 Monaco 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 Monaco.

Monaco is the scarcest market on the Riviera, and by construction: two square kilometres, one of the highest densities in the world, and a territory that only extends by winning land from the sea, as at Fontvieille and then at Mareterra, delivered in 2024. Demand comes from elsewhere, international and financial, held up by security and the fiscal framework; supply splits between recent residential towers and renovated older buildings, from Monte-Carlo to Larvotto. Town houses and villas can be counted, a few addresses around the Jardin exotique or in the Moneghetti heights, plus the new villas and town houses of Mareterra. A property that comes free moves fast, and often privately.
In a Principality built vertically, value is read in floors and windows: open sea view, view over the Rock, view over Port Hercule, each level trades differently, and two apartments in the same tower do not compare. The terrace, the exposure and the quiet change everything from one floor to the next, and service charges, with the works voted in general meeting, tell the real cost of an old palace as of a recent residence. A listing says none of this: the noise of an avenue, the sightline about to be blocked by the neighbouring project, the real state of the common parts. Every file is checked on documents, co-ownership rules and minutes first.
The Monegasque market lives with no real season: the international clientele comes all year, and the best properties often trade before publication. Home Select runs the search remotely, from its management and with its network of 15,000 partners: every apartment is qualified on documents, then in a video pre-viewing run with the seller’s agent, and the buyer travels only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip. At offer stage, the support becomes local: the Monegasque notaire and the registration duties specific to the Principality are prepared in advance, and Home Select, more than 1,200 buyers accompanied, coordinates the transaction through to signature.
From Monaco-Ville to Saint-Roman, five sectors share the Principality, each with its view, its buildings and its clientele.
The Rock, the historic heart of the Principality: the Prince’s Palace, the cathedral and the Oceanographic Museum, lanes looking out over the sea and Port Hercule. A few old apartments in low buildings, rarely on the market, and a tranquillity nothing else in Monaco offers. The view commands the port and La Condamine; properties here often trade privately.
The quarter of the casino, the opera and boulevard des Moulins, and its Golden Square, the Carré d’Or: upmarket residences, renovated old palaces and towers around the gardens. The upper floors reach the sea, the ground floors live with the bustle of the hotels. Charges and services here match the addresses: they are read before the offer.
The quarter of Port Hercule and its covered market, around the pedestrian rue Princess-Caroline: renovated older buildings, shops and restaurants at the door, a genuine year-round neighbourhood life. Apartments are sorted floor by floor: the top levels gain the Rock and the sea, the lower ones look onto the port and its bustle.
The Principality’s south-western extension, built on ground reclaimed from the sea: the Stade Louis-II, the museums, the terrace gardens and the heliport. More recent residences, charges often better held than in old Monaco, and a view that sweeps the port and the open sea. A district that has aged with its trees, to be chosen for its lifestyle as much as its address.
Eastern Monaco: the Larvotto beach and avenue Princesse-Grace, its residences facing the water, the Grimaldi Forum, then Mareterra, the district won from the sea and delivered in 2024, and Saint-Roman, on the border with Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The sea view is frontal on the upper floors, recent supply dominates, and new programmes often trade before delivery.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Monaco
Monaco at a glance
Monaco is lived on foot from end to end, from the Condamine market to the casino gardens: the Principality fits into a rectangle crossed in twenty minutes, stairways and public lifts included. Port Hercule lines up its yachts, the Rock keeps its palace, its cathedral and the changing of the guard, Larvotto spreads its beach facing the islands. A density of life nothing else in Europe offers over two square kilometres.
Access does the rest: Monaco-Monte-Carlo station, carved under the rock, puts Nice twenty minutes away by train, the Fontvieille heliport links Nice airport in a few minutes of flight, and the corniches roll towards Menton and Italy on one side, towards Nice and its airport on the other. The Principality lives all year, between the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the opera season and the regattas: a diary every quarter follows closely.
Monaco is the rarest market on the Riviera: two square kilometres that only grow by winning land from the sea, and an international demand that trades fast, often privately. The value is kept and passed on, but it reads in floors and windows: sea, Rock or port view, service charges and minutes first.
The Carré d’Or and Monte-Carlo for the serviced flat of the great addresses; La Condamine for the neighbourhood life of the port and its covered market. The Larvotto and Mareterra, won from the sea in 2024, sell the beach and the newest supply, new villas and town houses included.
The Principality lives year round, 38,000 residents of nearly 145 nationalities, international schools, healthcare and security included. The heliport, the underground station and Nice airport thirty to forty minutes by road do the rest: everything meets within minutes, provided one accepts the verticality and its charges.
Monaco lives on its own scale: the Fontvieille heliport links Nice airport in a few minutes of flight, and the underground Monaco-Monte-Carlo station puts Nice-Ville about twenty-five minutes away. Nice-Côte d’Azur airport, thirty to forty minutes by motorway, concentrates the international flights.
The international community in Monaco. About 38,000 residents of nearly 145 nationalities share the Principality, international finance executives and residents drawn by security and the fiscal framework: English is a working language here as much as French. Services follow, international schools, healthcare, banks, and a social life that does not stop with summer.
When to visit, when to buy? The Principality knows no true property season: the international clientele comes all year, and fine homes often trade before publication. The events calendar, from the Grand Prix to the conventions, is a logistics constraint, never a market window.
Because the local market has its own rules. The transaction goes through a Monegasque notaire and registration duties specific to the Principality: these rules are prepared before the offer, never after. 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.
Yes: any acquisition in the Principality is signed before a Monegasque notaire, under rules and registration duties specific to Monaco, different from those of France. Home Select prepares the file with the buyer, has the co-ownership documents read and coordinates the notaire, the managing agent and the agent through to signature. Residence in Monaco is another matter, to be studied separately.
Almost nowhere: town houses and villas in Monaco can be counted, a few addresses around the Jardin exotique or in the heights, and, since 2024, the new villas and town houses of Mareterra, won from the sea. The market remains the apartment, from the renovated older building to the recent tower. Buyers who want ground and a garden also look at Beausoleil or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, across the border.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Monaco 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 Monaco, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Monaco-Ville, the Rock, then Monte-Carlo and the Carré d’Or. That is often where the unfindable property is.
No: a buyer can purchase in the Principality without living there, and residence falls under its own regime, with its own proof of means and of housing. Two calendars are then prepared together, the purchase and, where relevant, the move. Home Select coordinates the Monegasque notaire and has the documents prepared before the offer, so that signature never waits for paperwork.
It depends on use. La Condamine for neighbourhood life, the market and the port; Monte-Carlo and the Carré d’Or for the great addresses and the services; Larvotto and avenue Princesse-Grace for the beach and the recent residences; Fontvieille for the calm of a district built on the sea; Monaco-Ville, on the Rock, for a few rare old apartments. Use decides, the view makes the difference.
Mareterra, delivered at the end of 2024 on ground won from the sea in the east of the Principality, renews the new-build supply as Fontvieille did a generation earlier: apartments around the signature building designed by Renzo Piano and, rare in Monaco, villas and town houses. The new homes mostly traded before delivery, and resales look set to stay scarce. It has become the benchmark for recent quality, to compare with neighbouring Larvotto.
The two markets watch each other but do not mix: in Monaco, a Monegasque notaire, specific registration duties, often high charges and scarce supply; in Beausoleil, Cap-d’Ail or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, French law, larger floor areas and a border to cross every day. The trade-off turns on use, not on the address alone: residence in the Principality or a French balcony.
Remotely, with method. Home Select sets the brief by video call, qualifies every property on documents with its partner network, runs the video pre-viewing with the seller’s agent and sets the price against the references of the Monegasque market. You come only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip; Home Select then coordinates the notaire and the signature, with fees due 100% on success.
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 Monaco, 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 Monaco, 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 Monaco. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
