REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE, THE HEART OF OUR ACTIVITY
At the heart of our activities: brokerage, estimation, advice, promotion, renovation, real estate projects, commercial projects, hotel developments, etc.
Based in Nendaz, in the heart of the recognized “4 Valleys” ski area (Nendaz, Verbier, Veysonnaz & Thyon – www.4vallees.ch), in the heart of the Swiss Alps, our company was created in 2006 to meet the specific interests of sellers and buyers with high expectations. We like to create a personal and privileged relationship with our customers in order to better understand their needs and provide them with professional and tailor-made help.
Participating in the development of the local economic fabric is one of our greatest motivations and satisfactions.
Respect for heritage and the development of aesthetic and environmentally friendly projects are among our greatest concerns.
