Independent property advice

An independent eye, before you decide

Unsure about a purchase, questioning a valuation or planning ahead for an estate? I offer you a neutral, rigorous and confidential perspective on your property situation.

When to call me

When should you seek independent advice?

Before a purchase

An audit of a property you have spotted: fair pricing, technical condition, cadastral constraints, resale potential. You buy with full clarity.

A second opinion on a valuation

Does a valuation you have received seem too low or too high? I give you a detached second opinion, based on several methods and the real local market.

Inheritance or estate

Several heirs, a shared property, disagreements over its value? I step in as a neutral third party to establish a reference accepted by all, in coordination with the notary.

Separation or divorce

The value of the property must be set fairly between the parties. My role: an impartial, documented analysis that serves as a common basis for discussion for both spouses and their advisors.

Wealth optimisation

Planning a transfer, weighing whether to keep or sell, restructuring a property portfolio. I work alongside your trustee and your notary.

My method

My advisory principles

Independence.

On an advisory engagement, I have no interest in pushing you towards a transaction: my only client is you. And whenever a property comes from my network (the RISSIM brand), I always tell you so, transparently.

Local knowledge.

Nearly 20 years on La Côte vaudoise, Terre-Sainte and the Lake Geneva region. I know the local market’s quirks from the inside.

Written report.

Every engagement results in a written, reasoned and documented report that you can hand to your notary, your bank or your lawyer. No verbal opinion that evaporates.

Confidentiality and ethics.

Your data and your thoughts stay strictly between us. As a USPI-qualified property broker, I am bound by a strict code of ethics.

Transparency

My model, fully transparent

One-off advice is billed by time spent, on a prior quote depending on the complexity of the engagement. No nasty surprises: you know what you pay before committing.

If the engagement leads to a sales mandate, the upfront advice is fully included. It’s my way of committing seriously: I devote the time needed to understand your situation, because I think long-term, not transaction by transaction.

What my clients advised on a purchase say

Rated 5 out of 5

“Rémi has been guiding us through our purchase project for several months now, and his thoroughness makes all the difference. He studies each property in detail with us and assesses its fair price, so that we can buy with complete confidence. We genuinely feel advised and guided at every stage, and that makes the process far lighter. We recommend him to any buyer who wants to move forward with someone rigorous and honest.”

“Calling on Rémi was the best decision we made in this whole project. His clear advice and constant availability allowed us to reach an agreement with the sellers in just 48 hours. You really feel he defends his clients' interests rather than simply closing a deal. If you are looking for a responsive and trustworthy real estate professional around Lake Geneva, do not hesitate.”
