Open House à Nice

Volume XI, Issue 39

Saturday marks a first for our Living and Investing in France Conference — an open house of about 10 properties all within walking distance that the participants can visit.

Conducting an Open House of this kind is not as easy to accomplish as one might think. It’s an ordinary enough affair Stateside for agencies that readily are happy to work weekends and owners that readily open their doors to the public. Neither of these are ordinary or normal culturally for the French and therefore, it simply doesn’t happen — at least not often.

In this case, we are working closely with Attika International, who’s agents are speaking at the conference about the Nice property market, and who have readily agreed to organize the open house. We’ve recruited both their agents and our staff to ‘man’ the properties from 2 to 5 p.m., so that visitors can just drop in on any of them at any time during the afternoon.

I will be hosting the visits to Le Matisse and La Côte du Paradis — my personal apartment and the one next door, both of which we represent for vacation rental. These are the only two apartments which are not ‘for sale,’ but the others all are — and are representative of what one can find on the market at this time.

Here’s a preview of the exciting line-up!:
