Selling a luxury property without using an agency has become a sought-after solution for owners who want to maintain control and optimize their transaction. Whether you own a castle, a luxury villa, a penthouse, or a unique property, the process is now made easier by specialized online portals offering comprehensive services.
Why sell a luxury property privately?
Total control of the sale
Direct sales allow the owner to:
- Freely determine the price of the property
- Choosing how to present your property
- Control contacts and visits
- Decide on the sales schedule
Avoid agency fees
By selling directly, the owner retains the entire sale price. For luxury properties, this saving can amount to tens of thousands of euros.
The essential elements to prepare
High-quality photographs
For a luxury property, image quality is crucial. The photos must:
- Show each piece with optimal lighting
- Highlighting the architecture and outdoor spaces
- To be professional or carefully retouched
Accurate and complete description
The text must include:
- Surface area and number of rooms
- High-end amenities (swimming pool, spa, tennis courts…)
- Specific characteristics of the property
- Environment and proximity to amenities or landscapes
Diagnostics and legal documents
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), technical diagnostics, and official documents must be provided before the property is put on the market. They protect the buyer and speed up the transaction.
Writing an effective advertisement
The title of the advertisement
It must be clear and enhance the prestige of the property:
- “Historic castle for sale in Provence”

- “Exceptional penthouse Paris 16th”

Include :
- Description of interior and exterior spaces
