Let’s talk about your projectWhat my clients say
Rated 5 out of 5“After a year on the market and several agents, no one had been able to tell me what was really blocking the sale of my house. Rémi saw the problems straight away and took charge. It sold at the exact price he had valued it at, to the buyer profile he had predicted. A straightforward, strategic professional who genuinely stands up for his clients. I recommend him to any owner.”
Rated 5 out of 5“Rémi is an agent who listens, patient, responsive and someone we trusted straight away. Our exchanges and his advice were very constructive and made it possible to carry the negotiations quickly through to an agreement.”
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.”
Rated 5 out of 5“We are very happy with Rémi's work. He really did everything for us, even after the sale. He helped us with every detail and was always available. Thank you for your professionalism and your commitment.”
Rated 5 out of 5“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.”
Rated 5 out of 5“I particularly appreciated the quality of Rémi's support, marked by remarkable professionalism, rigour and subtlety of approach. He understood my expectations precisely, adapted to my pace with great flexibility and offered sound, relevant advice at every stage. His availability, his eye for detail and his ability to anticipate issues did much to make the process smooth, efficient and calm. Beyond the operational performance, I was struck by his human approach, his discretion and the trust he naturally establishes, qualities that are particularly valuable in a property project. I am very grateful for the quality of his commitment and recommend him enthusiastically and without the slightest reservation. I would gladly call on his services again for a future purchase or sale.”
Rated 5 out of 5“We are approaching retirement and wanted to know what our condominium apartment in Duillier is worth before deciding whether to put it up for sale. We called on Rémi Désert. He studied all the condominium documents before even visiting, and his report is precise, honest and easy to read. He did not try to push us to sell; he gave us what we needed to decide. I recommend him.”
Rated 5 out of 5“Rémi was very proactive and responsive throughout our exchanges. He also has an excellent network of contacts in the region, which was very valuable to us. A true professional whom I warmly recommend.”
Rated 5 out of 5“We had contacted Rémi to value our house as part of a refinancing. He quickly noticed that the floor area we had been sold was well below the actual area. Without his expert eye, we would never have known. Rigour, precision and genuine defence of the client's interests.”
Rated 5 out of 5“Very pleased to have called on Rémi. He knows his patch on La Côte extremely well, he is straightforward and gives very good advice. I recommend him to those around me without hesitation.”
Rated 5 out of 5“I was looking to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of my house, in particular to benefit from the tax deductions before they were withdrawn. Rémi immediately put me in touch with a specialist he trusts, who carried out a full audit, and I was able to move forward calmly and on time. A generous professional, who goes well beyond a simple transaction and advises in people's real interest. Thank you Rémi.”
Rated 5 out of 5“We contacted Rémi to value our house as part of a refinancing. His expert eye allowed him to spot a significant difference in floor area that we would never have noticed on our own. He also took the time to explain certain property principles to us, with a great deal of patience. Rigour, expertise and genuine defence of the client's interests: we recommend him with our eyes closed.”
Rémi Désert, a broker who listens
Nearly 20 years serving my clients, a diploma awarded by the Swiss Union of Real Estate Professionals (USPI), and one simple conviction: a broker should defend your interests, not his own.
I will never overvalue your property to win a mandate. I build a solid file before every listing, while staying responsive when the right buyer appears. Based in Coppet, I work across La Côte vaudoise with as much rigour as attentiveness, because a successful sale also depends on understanding what you’re going through.
- Intellectual honesty. My role is to give you a realistic view of your property situation. I’ll defend your price for as long as it makes sense on the market. If your expectations drift from reality, I’ll tell you plainly rather than let you waste time.
- Analytical rigour. I analyse the market in depth to offer you a reliable valuation, consistent with today’s reality. My goal is to position your property at the right price, to optimise its value while ensuring optimal selling conditions. What the portals don’t show, I verify before setting a price.
- Tailored strategy. I structure every sale methodically, leaving nothing to chance or improvisation, whether it’s a studio in Nyon or a waterfront villa in Mies. Buyer targeting, market timing, offer management: every decision is deliberate.
- Aligned interests. Commission on results only. My interest is directly tied to yours: the better your property sells, the more we both gain. It’s the only way to work together.

Your questions, my answers
Why choose Rémi Désert as your real estate broker?
Because I’m not just another broker. USPI-qualified and a partner at RISSIM Real Estate, I put my energy, my sharp knowledge of the Terre-Sainte and Nyon market and a solid network at the service of your project. Every mandate is unique: I invest myself personally to defend your interests, from the first meeting to signing at the notary.
What sets you apart from other brokers?
What annoys me most in this profession is brokers who overvalue a property to win a mandate. The owner is won over, signs, then endures price cuts for months. I do the opposite: an honest valuation from the start, a solid file, and a property that sells at the right price, in the right timeframe.
What happens at a first meeting?
I come to you to discover your property, understand your goals and answer all your questions. It’s a human conversation above all, not a sales pitch. If we click, we define the best strategy together.
How does your valuation work?
My valuation is based on a comparative market analysis (recent transactions of similar properties), your property’s features and current trends in the Nyon district. Call me to discuss it: a first phone conversation already helps frame your project.
How quickly do you sell a property on La Côte vaudoise?
It typically takes 2 to 6 months depending on the type of property, its price and the market. Thanks to a fair valuation and a targeted marketing campaign (videos, virtual tours, social media ads), I work to shorten that time while securing the best price for you.
What are the costs of selling a property in Switzerland?
For the seller, the main costs are the brokerage commission (due only if the sale completes), the cantonal capital gains tax (on a sliding scale based on how long you’ve owned the property) and, where applicable, an early mortgage repayment penalty. In the canton of Vaud, notary fees and the transfer duty (around 3.3%) are in principle borne by the buyer. I explain everything transparently at our first meeting. Zero nasty surprises.
What sets a USPI-qualified broker apart?
The USPI diploma (Swiss Union of Real Estate Professionals) guarantees recognised training, adherence to a strict code of ethics and ongoing skills updates. It’s a mark of seriousness I carry with pride, and above all extra protection for you as a client.
Do you also support buyers?
Yes. I help you define your criteria, identify matching properties (including off-market) and negotiate the best buying terms. My goal is to keep you out of the traps and secure your purchase in Terre-Sainte, Nyon or on La Côte vaudoise.
How can I hear about properties before they’re listed?
Ask to receive my off-market alerts. Some properties are offered exclusively to a small circle of buyers before any online listing. That’s often where the best opportunities are.
