Offering in-depth knowledge of the local market, this agency on a human scale can lay claim to high-quality services backed by genuine expertise. “Our long experience is our best asset and we nurture the concept of a local agency by offering clients a privileged relationship,” explains Julie Vrand Lemoine.

“Competition has been challenging over the past few years, with ever-increasing demand obliging us to undertake a substantial amount of prospecting. Our strength lies in proposing properties different from those offered by the competition, insider addresses and rare properties we deal with off-market. I love my work which is a real state of being, a profession that has become my life. I have been working in real estate since I was 25 years old.”

In a residence at the heart of Le Moulleau facing the sea and offering direct access to the beach, this studio of 21 m² with a balcony facing south-west enjoys panoramic views of the residence’s park and the bay. Cellar. 300.000 €.

On the subject of the market, Julie confides : “We are confronted by a very tight market, scarce offerings and an explosion in demand. The market has changed since the crisis, as requests almost exclusively for holiday homes have been replaced by almost entirely French buyers (above all from Paris) in search of semi-permanent or even permanent residences. Ideally, these buyers would like a house or an apartment near the beach, but above all with outdoor areas, a terrace or garden, in peaceful surroundings.

Today, properties without outdoor areas are much less popular, fetching from 5,000 to 7,000 € per sq.m. On the other hand, for apartments in highly-prized neighbourhoods such as Le Moulleau, Le Pyla, Pereire or Les Abatilles, prices easily attain 10,000 €/ per sq.m. As for houses, the starting-price is well beyond 1 million euros, and in fact rather closer to 1.5 million euros”.
