As communication is the basis of any agreement, we like to meet all our owners personally for an in depth study of your real estate project and requirements. We will visit your property, we will offer you our thoughts and advice. Real estate is a specialist profession wherein experience is essential.

Saint-Tropez, place of exception, deserves exceptional properties. But the exception and the atypisme do not break the rules of real-estate, so prestigious it is and it in the first interest of the owners.

You consult an estate agent to smooth the process of your real estate project, and to ensure that your interests are protected. This starts with the drafting and signing of a sales or rental agreement. In France this document is obligatory in the Real Estate profession (Law N° 70.9 of January 2nd, 1970, article 72 of the decree N° 72678 of July 20th), in addition, this document, prepared in detail in conjunction with your estate agent, will protect you from any dubious practices or legal ambiguity. Purchasers are increasingly protected by law in order to avoid many uncertainties, it is welcome that owners benefit from the protection given by the terms of sale or lease and they they no longer view this as a constraint.

The real estate profession in France is controlled by the Hoguet Act dated January 2, 1970, since when no estate agent is permitted to offer your property or advertise it in any way (whether by internet, agency display or in print) without having received a signed agreement from the owner.

Numerous sorts of mandates exist :

The not exclusive mandates or "simple" sale or rental (which allow you to spread your good through some order or directly from private individual to private individual).

The exclusive mandate, which under understands the perfect trust between you, owner, and the agency, because it's this agency who will only have the possibility of presenting your good.

The semi-exclusive mandate : you gives your good to a single agency but keep the possibility of selling it by yourself.

The co-exclusive mandate : allows you to fix a small number of agencies which can present your good. Be careful in that case to check that the selling price of your good will be identical in all the agencies.

Be sure that even if it is more pleasant for a real estate agent to obtain the exclusivity of the good, Demeures Tropeziennes will never impose on you the exclusivity and will take charge of your good with will and professionalism to make your project succeed whatever the type of chosen mandate.

The mandate : the real protection for the owners salesmen or landlords, why ? Because this document contains all the elements necessary for the sale or the rental of your immovable property; the selling price, but also the committee of your real estate agent, the name of your solicitor if you wish to bring him in the sale, and quite other element indispensable to the good constitution of your file.

By this way you will not meet any unpleasant surprise when our agency will indicate you that a customer goes buyer of your good and wishes to sign a provisional sales agreement quickly.

Furthermore, to satisfy the legal bonds and what we can, right after the mandate recorded on our legal register of mandates, to present your good to our buyers in wait, it is advisable to have a complete administrative file (ID card of the salesman, the notarial certificate or the copy of the act).

The technical diagnosis :

It is up to you, within the framework of a sale, to you owner to make by a professional the file of technical diagnosis of your good, planned by the prescription of June 8th, 2005, and applicable since November 1st, 2007.
