Saint-Tropez Carlin Luxury Properties Version
An independent agency motivated by high demands, discretion, and in-depth knowledge of the Saint-Tropez market, Carlin Luxury Properties has proven its expertise since its launch in 2022. Meet its founder, Julie Carlin…
After spending 9 years as an estate agent in Saint-Tropez, Julie Carlin founded her own independent structure : Carlin Luxury Properties. The holder of 2 Masters, one in international negotiations, the other in construction and accommodation law, this professional has taken on 2 women colleagues to develop an agency reflecting her image : demanding, humane, and firmly focused on an international clientele.
From Les Issambres to La Croix-Valmer, with strong anchorage in Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle and Gassin, the agency now covers the entire Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Its portfolio contains about 100 properties, mainly villas priced from 2 to over 20 M €. At Carlin Luxury Properties, human contacts lie at the heart of the approach. “Our strength lies in fieldwork, we do a huge amount of prospecting,” says Julie Carlin, whose work method encompasses discretion, availability and seriousness. Very active online and on social media, the agency also cultivates precious proximity to its clients and owners in this sector.
Mostly comprised of Europeans, North Americans or investors from the Middle East, the clientele is fully acquainted with the codes of the high-end market. While love-at-first-sight acquisitions occasionally occur, most of the projects are often well thought-out, organised and anticipated several months in advance. “In the off season, some clients make lots of visits when Saint-Tropez becomes quieter, in order to launch any renovation work required, and benefit fully from their villa as soon as spring or early summer arrives.” As well as acquiring properties for their personal enjoyment, buyers also consider their long-term value, often with a future resale or seasonal rentals in mind. They are looking for properties meeting international standards for luxury, in both architecture and atmosphere. To assist this demanding clientele, the agency relies on a solid network of local professionals.
In a context marked by geo-political tensions and economic uncertainties, Carlin Luxury Properties can lay claim to high capacity in terms of adaptability in this market synonymous with sound values. This suppleness has become the DNA of this independent agency, also active on the off-market segment, an essential feature on Saint-Tropez’s luxury market. In the high season, there are more requests for visits and owners prefer this period in which to present their properties for sale. Though, for Julie Carlin, there is one fixed rule : “Today, in the Gulf of de Saint-Tropez, a property sells when it is offered at the right price”.
