A holiday-home market
In Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, 68.8% of homes are second homes (Insee, 2023); in Royan, 42.6%. Many sellers therefore live far away, manage the sale remotely and do not see what buyers see: an overgrown garden, shutters closed for months, postponed repairs. A house closed all winter often sells less well than a lived-in one, even at the same price.
Buyers are very often retirees or soon-to-be retirees from other regions, and families looking for a holiday home. They carefully compare condition, energy rating, running costs and distance to the beach. A listing that does not answer these questions stays online.
Situations we often see on the Royan coast
Several heirs, some far away, a holiday house nobody lives in all year: they need to agree on the price and on how to sell.
Royan was rebuilt after 1945: many houses from that period need energy renovation, which buyers price in and deduct.
Land that can be divided changes the value and the type of buyer. This must be checked before listing.
Listed for months, viewings but no offer: before cutting the price again, find out what is blocking it.
What we do for you
We look at your property the way a demanding buyer would: price against real sales in your street, presentation, documents (surveys, planning, estate), hidden potential (division, extension, outbuilding). Then we tell you plainly whether to change the price, the presentation, the target buyers or the way you sell. The first opinion is free and with no commitment.

Yes. You can sign through a power of attorney at the notary. You do need someone on site for viewings, upkeep and surveys: that is often where sales are lost.
What if the heirs disagree on the price?
Start from a price based on real sales in the street, which everyone can check. If the disagreement persists, French law provides solutions, from a two-thirds majority to a court-ordered division.
