The Agency
« A property sells at the right price, not the price one might wish to hear. I prefer an honest valuation to simply securing a quick listing. »

Frequently Asked Questions
What we are asked most often
How can I get a property valuation in Menton ?
It involves two steps: an initial price range provided within 24 hours based on the property's characteristics, followed by an on-site visit to refine the estimate based on factors such as exposure, the view, the floor level, and actual neighborhood market conditions. The valuation is free and carries no obligation.
Which areas do you cover around Menton ?
Menton and its neighborhoods (Garavan, Centre, Borrigo, Carnolès), Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Cap-d'Ail, Beausoleil, La Turbie, Sainte-Agnès, Castellar, Sospel, and the Italian border area towards Ventimiglia.
Do you assist foreign buyers ?
Yes—in French, English, and Italian—from the initial viewing through to the final signing. We explain the specific stages of French law in detail, including the preliminary sales agreement (*compromis*), the cooling-off period, conditions precedent, and acquisition costs.
How long does it take to sell ?
It depends primarily on the initial asking price. A property priced correctly from the start generally finds a buyer faster than an overpriced property that requires a price adjustment months later. The initial price is the key factor influencing the time it takes to sell.
