In France, estate agents or Immobilier charge about 5% (or more) commission. This commission is added to the net vendeur price, and the published price will include this commission. The buyer pays this commission. In a competitive market, this extra in the price can make a big difference.

So you as the vendor may wish to sell the property privately without the services of an Immobilier. You will still need to use a Notaire for the property transaction to be legal.

But how to market the property? To get the maximum exposure, advertise locally, nationally and internationally. There are many French Property websites that can offer to advertise your property to the international market. The cost naturally varies from site to site. You will be able to add photographs and describe your property fully. Enquiries are normally delived to you by email but often you can publish your telephone number.
