When the time comes to sell a house or an apartment, one key question quickly arises : should you prioritize confidentiality or opt for broad publicity ? Each strategy has its own advantages and limitations. The right choice depends on your expectations, the type of property in question and the local market. Between online listings and an off market approach, there are several effective ways to achieve a successful property sale.
Choosing publicity means giving your property maximum exposure. This involves showcasing it on real estate platforms, social networks, agency windows and sometimes even through targeted campaigns. In this case, your property benefits from increased visibility, reaching a wide audience of potential buyers. More visibility means more visits and a greater likelihood of receiving multiple offers. This method is particularly suitable if you wish to sell quickly, especially in a dynamic and competitive market. Publicity can also create a sense of exclusivity, drawing attention to a unique property, such as one with a sea view or an exceptional terrace.

Publicity broadens the pool of potential buyers and facilitates competition between them. This increases your chances of obtaining a price close to the initial estimate, or even above if several buyers are interested at once. It also helps highlight your property’s strengths, such as location, size, premium features and proximity to the sea or city center. By giving your home visibility, you capture the attention of a wide range of profiles, from investors to individual buyers. For the sale of your property, effective communication is a key driver of success, helping you attract interest quickly and maximize your results.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, some owners prefer discretion. Confidentiality means limiting the distribution of information about the property to a small circle of qualified buyers, what is known as an off market approach. This strategy is often chosen for high-end properties or by owners who wish to avoid public exposure. In this context, the sale of your property relies on a careful selection of buyers, often investors or private clients already known by Edouard VII.

Choosing an off market strategy means focusing on quality over quantity. The agency presents your property only to a targeted clientele, carefully selected based on their budget and project. This approach limits unnecessary visits and ensures total discretion. No neighbor, colleague or outside contact learns that you are selling. Confidentiality also protects your privacy, an essential factor for many sellers. Finally, especially in a competitive market, the off market approach creates a sense of exclusivity. Buyers feel they are gaining access to a rare opportunity, which increases their motivation and sense of urgency.

There is no single answer, it all depends on your priorities :
. If you want to sell quickly and reach the maximum number of buyers, publicity is the best choice. It maximizes visibility and multiplies offers.
. If, on the other hand, you value discretion and prefer a selective approach to buyers, then the off market sale is more suitable.
. In some cases a hybrid strategy works best, starting with a confidential phase and then moving to public marketing if the property does not sell.

On the French Riviera, off market sales are becoming increasingly popular. Wealthy buyers often seek exclusive properties in total discretion. Meanwhile, owners appreciate the privacy and the opportunity to avoid public exposure. Selling your property through this method enhances its attractiveness and appeals to a specific, often international clientele. In this process, we act as your trusted intermediary, ensuring both discretion and effective presentation of your property.
Confidentiality or publicity, two different yet equally effective strategies for selling your property. The right choice depends on your profile, your goals and the nature of your home. Publicity maximizes visibility and accelerates the process, while off market sales protect your privacy and attract a carefully selected audience. Let’s discuss your project together, Edouard VII will guide you toward the best solution to ensure a successful and stress-free sale.
