How to put your house up for sale in the Var? The steps to follow!
Your Provence Properties real estate agency, your trusted partner for all your real estate transactions in the Var, explains the steps to follow.
Preparing your property for sale
Before contacting a real estate agency, you need to prepare your home so that it looks its best. In the Var, many buyers are looking for a property that embodies the art of Provencal living.
Declutter and depersonalize
First and foremost: de-clutter and depersonalize your living space as much as possible. The aim here is to allow visitors to project themselves. Tidy up, deep clean and put away personal items.
Small jobs and repairs
If necessary, carry out minor repairs. A leaky faucet, a burnt-out light bulb, a crack... These details can act as sales deterrents.
Enhance your exterior
Regularly maintain your exterior to ensure it remains an asset to your real estate transaction.
Having your property appraised for sale
It's important to have your property properly appraised:
- an overestimated property could put off potential buyers;
- an under-estimated property could cost you money.
At Provence Properties, we are able to provide accurate estimates based on our in-depth knowledge of the Var and Provence Verte real estate markets.
We take into account a number of criteria, such as :
- the intrinsic characteristics of your property (surface area, number of rooms, general condition, equipment, view, exposure...) ;
- the local environment (proximity to amenities, peace and quiet, prestige of the area...);
- prices of similar properties recently sold in the Var;
- current trends in the Var real estate market.
Good to know: an online estimate gives you an initial idea of the value of your property, but in no way replaces the visit of a real estate agent who will come to your home and have an overall view of its features and characteristics.

Entrusting the sale of your property to an agency is a guarantee of peace of mind and efficiency. But not all agencies are created equal, especially for exceptional properties. Choosing Provence Properties is a good idea.
