Welcome, I am Frederik Schuitema, the face behind Provence Property Management. As passionate specialists in property management in the Var, we are the reliable link between you and your second home in Provence.
We know the dream of owning your own villa in the South of France like no other. It is a place of peace, sunshine, and memories. At the same time, we know from experience that owning real estate from a distance also brings challenges. The French language, complex regulations, garden and pool maintenance, and the logistics of keyholding for vacation rentals require a reliable partner who is on-site when you are not.
That is precisely why we founded Provence Property Management: to provide complete peace of mind for international owners, ensuring that all you have to do is enjoy your property in Provence.
We do not believe in remote management from a large, anonymous office. For us, property management is a personal service. We live and work in the heart of our service area in the Var, giving us an in-depth understanding of the region, the Mediterranean climate, and the local dynamics.
When you work with us, you choose:
No language barrier: We communicate comfortably with you in Dutch (or English), but speak fluent French. This enables us to act decisively with French authorities, local tradespeople, and your guests.
Direct contact & swift action: You will have one dedicated point of contact. Whether it is a routine inspection or immediate action during urgent emergencies after a storm, we are quickly on-site.
Transparent approach: After every inspection, garden maintenance visit, or changeover day, you receive a brief update (including photos) via WhatsApp. This way, you stay fully informed, wherever you are in the world.
Over the years, we have specialized in all aspects of property management in the South of France. You can come to us for a comprehensive package or individual services, fully tailored to your schedule:
Professional and secure keyholding in the Var.
Complete logistics and guest reception for your vacation rentals (Airbnb/VRBO).
Expert garden maintenance and legally required fire prevention clearing (débroussaillement).
Crystal clear water thanks to our regular pool maintenance.
“Our mission is simple: we want your second home in France to feel like a pure pleasure, not an extra worry. We look after your property as if it were our own.” – Frederik Schuitema
We would be happy to schedule a personal (digital) introduction to learn about your specific wishes for your home in the Var, whether you are in the orienting phase or looking for an immediate property manager for the upcoming season.
