Off-market properties are houses for sale that you cannot find on the Internet because the owner is a Famous Person or because they prefer not to let the neighbourhood know that the house is being sold. So, these houses do not have a sign « A Vendre, » and they are not on any real estate platform. Off-market houses often quickly find buyers because these are always unique properties at a prime location.
Off-market properties also do not have many real estate agents to sell them. The sale is usually handled by one or two brokers instead of many. Brokers with ‘off-market’ properties are selected based on their profiles and networks in terms of wealthy customers. Anyone who registers with such a broker and fits the price range will receive a personal email.
What are off-market properties, and where can you find them?
Living on the Cote d’Azur works with all major agents in the South of France, in Paris and Ibiza. We have access to these invisible properties. If you are looking for an exclusive home and want to be sure that the villa, penthouse or hotel is exclusive, you should contact us. We make an inventory of your wishes and come up with a selection that suits you. Maybe you’re looking to buy an off-market property in Paris like a Hotel Particulier for sale. Or a hotel close to the beach. In any case, if it’s for sale, we’ll find it for you.
Search mandate
We ask you to mandate us to search for you. We will send you a simple agreement that states that we represent you as a buyer broker. We will select properties from our network where the agencies share the commission. So there will be no costs for you. Unless… the property is with an agency that does not want to collaborate. Or it is owned by a private person who doesn’t sell it through an agency but directly through a notary. In these rare cases, we will discuss our commission of 2% plus VAT with you first.
A network of brokers and real estate agents in Paris and Côte d’Azur
Many real estate properties in France are for sale with several brokers, and you never know where to find the total offer. You will, of course, recognize many houses after you’ve seen dozens of websites, but which real estate agent is most professional and used to working with foreign buyers? We have made that selection for you; we know where the real pros are. Thanks to our partnerships and mutual trust in optimally serving the customer, our boutique real estate agency can make an up-to-date overview of the best villas, penthouses and hotels.

Invisible to the Internet
The houses you cannot find anywhere on the Internet are « off-market » properties, or as we call them, The Invisible Properties. They are mostly old family houses on the waterfront, rare villas in top-rated locations, or exclusive penthouses in unique buildings where nothing ever comes for sale. You will find these exceptional « off-market homes » through our network.
The Living on the Cote d’Azur team consists of several advisers who are happy to assist you in realizing your luxury real estate project on the Cote d’Azur. We do this with complete confidence and discretion. We put together a selection and are visiting various top locations with you. A one-stop real estate service that our customers appreciate.

We can tell the same about Paris, that’s why we offer you great properties in Paris for sale too.
