Selling a family estate, quietly
For owners of possessions, manor houses, palacios and country estates who wish to sell with discretion — without portals, without signs at the gate.
A historic estate is rarely just a property. It holds a family's history, often the livelihood of the people who work there, and a place in the life of its village. Selling it deserves the same care with which it has been kept.
ARRANGE A CONFIDENTIAL MEETING
An exceptional property is best sold in private
Many owners of historic estates prefer that their property is never seen online — and with good reason.
How a private sale works
One point of contact, from start to finish
After 25 years on the island, I know the houses, the families and the buyers who are looking for exactly this kind of property. As your sole point of contact, I coordinate the entire sale personally and bring all parties together. Your own lawyer prepares the legal documentation on your side, the buyer's lawyer reviews it on theirs — and where further advisors are needed, I can introduce trusted, independent professionals from my long-standing network.
Every conversation is confidential, and a first meeting is always without obligation — it is the moment to clarify your goals, timing and expectations together. Once the decision to sell has been made, I dedicate myself to it fully, and the best results come when owner and agent share that same commitment.
Frequently asked
Will my property appear online?
Only if you wish. By default, your property is presented exclusively in private, to selected buyers.
How do you find buyers without advertising?
Through personal relationships built over many years on the island — with private buyers, their advisors and a trusted network of professionals who know what my clients are looking for.
What if the documentation is incomplete?
That is common with historic estates. Together with you and your own lawyer — who knows the property's legal history best — we compile the documentation early. The buyer's lawyer then reviews it before signing.
Who do you work for — the buyer or the seller?
For both. My role is to bring buyer and seller together, to mediate between them and to guide the sale to a conclusion that is right for both sides — making sure the buyer is on safe ground at every step, and that the sale proceeds smoothly for the seller. Each party is legally represented by its own lawyer.
Is a first conversation binding?
No. A first meeting is confidential and without obligation. It is the right moment to clarify your goals, timing and expectations — so that, once we begin, the sale can proceed with focus and conviction on both sides.
