If you're planning to sell your apartment or villa in the Var, it's essential to prepare your sale properly to ensure that everything goes smoothly. At Provence Properties, your real estate agency specializing in exceptional properties in Provence Verte, we understand the challenges and specifics of the Var real estate market. Follow our advice to put your property up for sale efficiently and ensure a smooth transaction.

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.

Choosing the right real estate agency in the Var

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.

Compulsory property diagnostics

• asbestos diagnostics
• lead diagnosis
• termite diagnosis

These mandatory property diagnostics are compiled in the Dossier de Diagnostic Technique (DDT), which you must enclose with the promise to sell or the deed of sale.
