Buying with Janssens Immobilier
Buying a property in Provence is far more than a simple investment. It is a life project, often driven by emotion, aspirations and high expectations.
Within a specific legal framework and a highly sought-after prestige market, being supported by local experts makes all the difference.
At Janssens Immobilier, we guide our French and international clients through every stage of their acquisition, with discretion, precision and high standards.
The purchasing process, step by step
01
Step 1 – Defining your project
Everything begins with attentive listening.
Your advisor takes the time to understand your project as a whole: budget, location, intended use of the property, desired style, constraints and deeper aspirations.
Whether it is a primary residence, a second home, a patrimonial project or an investment, we help you structure a coherent and realistic search, taking into account the specific characteristics of the Provençal property market.
Our teams also support non-resident clients, with complete confidentiality.

Step 2 – Searching for and selecting properties
Once your project has been defined, your advisor undertakes an active and targeted search.
Beyond the properties publicly available on the market, we provide you with access to a carefully curated selection of properties,
including off-market opportunities when relevant.
You receive proposals perfectly aligned with your criteria, along with regular updates on new opportunities and market developments.
03
Step 3 – Organising viewings
Viewings are arranged with care and discernment.
Each property is presented in its entirety: architecture, surroundings, potential and lifestyle.
Our role is to provide you with an objective and expert perspective, allowing you to envision your future with confidence and clarity.

Step 4 – Making an offer and negotiating
When the right property truly resonates, your advisor supports you in drafting the purchase offer.
We safeguard your interests while maintaining a constructive dialogue with the seller, in order to create the conditions for a balanced and secure agreement. Each step is handled with transparency and expertise.

Step 5 – Signing the preliminary sale agreement
Once the offer has been accepted, we coordinate all parties involved up to the signing of the preliminary sale agreement at the notary’s office.
This stage legally frames the acquisition: suspensive conditions, deposit, and statutory cooling-off periods.
We remain by your side to answer every question and ensure the smooth progress of the process.
06
Step 6 – Finalising the acquisition
The signing of the final deed generally takes place a few months after the preliminary sale agreement.
On the day of completion, the remaining balance is paid, the keys are handed over, and your project becomes reality.
You are now a property owner in Provence.
Anticipating the costs associated with a purchase
A property purchase involves costs that are essential to anticipate: notary fees, local taxes and potential tax obligations.
Our teams provide you with a clear overview and can, if necessary, put you in touch with specialised partners for financial and administrative support, particularly for international buyers.
A project that unfolds over time
Acquiring a property in Provence often marks the beginning of a new chapter.
A place to live, to share and to create memories, in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons.
Our role is to accompany you through to the realisation of your project, with high standards, discretion and commitment, ensuring that every step unfolds with clarity and peace of mind.
Because a successful property purchase is not measured solely by the signature, but by the quality of the journey taken.
Investing in France
In the world of real estate investment in France, non-resident investors face a unique challenge: understanding and navigating the complex maze of French taxation.
With a multitude of taxes, regulations and nuances to consider, it is essential for international investors to master the fiscal aspects of their investments in order to maximise returns and comply with legal requirements.
