Top agence immobilière sur Genève !!! J'ai fait 4 acquisitions/vente chez la CIL, et j'ai toujours été entièrement satisfait de leurs service ainsi que de leur engagement ! J'ai vendu en 2021 mon immeuble au centre ville par l'agence CI-Léman, alors que depuis plus de 12 mois beaucoup d'agence du centre-ville me disaient qu'ils me trouverait un acheteur au prix que je souhaitais....! Au bout de 12 mois, toujours rien de concret... Alors que ses même agences prétendaient avoir "le bon client " rien ne s'est finalisé ! CI-Léman s'est proposé de "régler définitivement" cette vente dans les 6 mois suivant... Au bout de 60 jours, la vente de mon immeuble s'est conclue devant notaire ! MERCI la CIL ! Pareil en 2023, je mets en vente ma maison en campagne Genevoise, a un prix supérieur au marché de juin 2023. Les même "fameuses" agences immobilière du centre-ville pour mon immeuble me disent en résumé, vous ne vendrez jamais cette maison à ce prix-là....! (guerre en Ukraine et taux d'intérêt trop haut...) Va falloir penser à réduire le prix d'au moins 10% ! La CIL est confiante et me conseille de ne pas baisser le prix, car elle pense pouvoir me trouver un acheteur... Résultat: La maison s'est vendue en 6 mois à un prix que je souhaitais (soi-disant invendable d'après les autres agences...!!!) Donc je ne peux que féliciter cette agence pour son professionnalisme et sa persévérance ! BRAVO la CIL !!! Gros portefeuille de "potentiels très bon clients" et beaucoup de discrétion font de cette agence la meilleure solution pour vos futures vente/acquisition ! Je ne passerais plus par une autre agence immobilière pour mes futures acquisition ! (perte de temps...!) ENCORE MILLE MERCI A LA CIL !

Our method · Selling in Geneva

  • Valuation

    It all starts with a visit, and with our own valuation checklist, tailored to each type of property: condominium apartment, detached, semi-detached or terraced house, plot with several homes, land, investment building. We go through everything: condition, energy, easements, right down to residual building rights, then the real comparables in your neighbourhood. You receive a reasoned range and your broker's personal opinion, ready within 48 to 72 hours, handed over in person. The valuation is free; for an investment building, on quotation.

    FREE · NO COMMITMENT
  • Preparation

    Our studio steps in, at the right moment, in the right light: photo and video shoot, full 3D scan for the virtual tour, 2D and 3D plans; drone and home staging where relevant. Then comes the workshop: retouching, texts written as close as possible to the reality of the property and, for those that lend themselves to it, a dedicated brochure and microsite. Every medium speaks with one voice. Nothing goes out without you: everything is presented to you for your approval.

    COMPLETE FILE DELIVERED
  • Marketing

    Your property is not listed, it is presented: first to members of Le Cercle whose criteria match, then to our off-market clients. Next come the leading portals, backed by targeted social media campaigns. Each widening is decided with you. And when it appears, your property makes its entrance, file ready, price tested: it does not go stale, it sells.

    MARKETING IN CIRCLES
  • Viewings

    A viewing is won beforehand: the file prepared from the valuation, the virtual tour presented on a shared screen; the buyer who comes in person comes to feel what the screen cannot convey. Every candidate is qualified before entering your home. Your broker arrives early, puts every detail in place, and leaves without a trace, as if nobody had been in your home. We preferably conduct viewings without you. A report after every viewing, and the buyer already feels at home.

    SOLVENCY CHECKED
  • Signing

    It is in the negotiation that your broker brings all their weight to bear. Every offer reaches you, without exception, and your price is defended with the arguments set out on day one, in the valuation. Your property gains tax, the IBGI, anticipated from that same valuation, is refined before the sale: you know, to the franc, what you will receive. We stay by your side until the very last step: the notarial deed is reviewed together, and on signing day we are present, alongside you as well as the buyer. Then the handover of the keys takes place in your home: meters read, contracts and insurance transferred, property manager notified, right down to the little tricks only your property knows, passed on to the person who succeeds you.
