About Dwellaa

I started Dwellaa in 2026 after spending months looking at how the luxury real-estate market worked online. Most of the established portals charge agencies upwards of a thousand euros a month for a basic listing presence. Some take it further with pay-per-lead, sponsored placements, or both. The cost gets passed on, the catalogue gets crowded, and buyers wade through a lot of noise.

I thought there was room for something better. A site that vets the agencies, presents the homes well, and lets buyers reach the agency directly without a middle layer skimming the introduction. And, most importantly to me, that doesn’t price small and mid-sized agencies out of the room.

So Dwellaa charges a fraction of what the incumbents do. The entry tier is €49 a month. The recommended tier is €149. The top tier is €349. The first 25 agencies to join get the platform free.

Dwellaa is a marketplace for buying, selling, and renting luxury homes across the South of France. Every property comes from an estate agency we’ve personally reviewed and approved. Buyers contact the agency directly through the listing. No agency-side commission to us, no buyer-side fee, no middleman.

The catalogue is luxury by design. We enforce a hard floor of €500,000 on sale listings and a per-period floor on rentals (€1,000 a week, €2,000 a month, €24,000 a year) so the marketplace stays consistent with what we’re for.

The site reads in English, French, and Italian. Agencies upload one English description and optionally translate into French and Italian. Buyers in each language see their version when it exists, with English as the fallback.

Agencies sign up through a four-step form, then wait for review. We check the agency exists, has the licence to practise where they say they do, and is the kind of operation we want our buyers to deal with. Approval is manual.

Pricing is a flat monthly subscription:

• Founding. Free. Twenty-five spots, allocated in approval order.
• Free trial. After the founding cohort fills, every new agency starts on a one-month free trial of the Essentiel feature set (up to 10 active listings, 10 photos each). Pick a paid tier before the trial ends and your listings stay live without interruption; otherwise the account is suspended until payment.
• Essentiel. €49/month. Up to 10 active listings.
• Riviera. €149/month. Up to 30 active listings, one featured.
• Prestige. €349/month. Unlimited listings, three featured, homepage placement.

All tiers cap at ten photos per property. Search-result ranking is driven by relevance, recency, and the buyer’s filters. No agency can pay to push a specific listing above another inside a given search.
