International visibility, local expertise
FGP Swiss & Alps cultivates privileged relationships with a selection of agencies and partners specialising in luxury real estate in their territories – our ‘Preferred Partners’ – in order to expand the network of potential buyers and offer you an even more sophisticated and efficient service, wherever you are.
History
A solid base, in line with your ambitions
We draw our strength from a dual heritage: that of the world’s leading business media, Forbes, and that of the Comptoir Immobilier Group, Geneva’s oldest property management company. Without the vision of Forbes, Forbes Global Properties could not have existed. And without Comptoir Immobilier’s years of experience, FGP Swiss & Alps would never have been founded.
Our values
Unique and memorable experiences
Excellence
Whatever the transaction, our customers benefit from tailor-made support from the best experts in luxury real estate. They all master the subtleties of the field and have in-depth knowledge of the market, so that we can meet the highest aspirations with excellence. This requirement for excellence also applies to our network of partners, which enables us to guarantee the same quality of service wherever you are. Finally, FGP Swiss & Alps’ membership of the Comptoir Immobilier group, founded in 1825, is the ultimate guarantee of our expertise and its durability.
Passion
Our passion for luxury real estate is expressed as an art. Through our collection of exceptional places, built up in the manner of a curator – with flair, boldness and emotion. But also through our keen understanding of architecture, design and innovation that make our properties truly exceptional. Properties, estates, chalets, lofts… We are committed to passing on their history and presenting them as places intimately linked to the life projects that inspire them. The passion that drives us finds its natural counterpart in fine watchmaking, of which our region is the cultural cradle, and which FGP Swiss & Alps supports every year at the GPHG, le Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. In both our professions, excellence and meticulousness are key.
Integrity
We place our customers’ interests at the heart of every interaction. Whether you decide to buy or sell, we will support you, respecting your constraints and desires and giving you all the information you need to make the right decision. Before, during and after, FGP Swiss & Alps is committed to working alongside you with transparency and loyalty to guarantee your peace of mind. Some projects are highly confidential: we treat them as such, with delicacy and discretion. We treat our customers, our employees and our environment with kindness and respect.
