The properties we don't
put in the window.
The finest sales are often concluded without an advert, between people who look each other in the eye and trust each other. Le Cercle was born of that reality. The founder's letter explains why.
Read the letterOn 1 September 2006, I founded the Compagnie Immobilière du Léman in twelve square metres of my father's warehouse, at André Blatti SA. In the first week, I sold a property for three and a half million. You can start out with very little: keep moving, bounce back, surprise people. I never stopped believing in it.
These twenty years have not been a straight line: there were blows to take and times to hold my head up again. That is the spirit of a business owner, as there are many in this city. Over the last two years, we have transformed the agency in depth, without fuss: new methods, new tools, new skills. And today, the next generation is starting to arrive: it is learning the trade in my agency, just as I learned in my father's warehouse. All this work takes on its meaning: it is by passing things on that we keep growing and improving.
Why tell you this on the Cercle page? Because Le Cercle rests on the only thing that has allowed me to last: trust built over the long term. Some of our 1'100 sales appear nowhere: not on the portals, not in our archives. Buildings, houses, apartments, sold discreetly, all over the canton. The finest sales are often concluded this way, between people who trust each other.
Le Cercle is not a club. It is an address book kept for twenty years. I keep it small, otherwise it is no longer of any use. And it carries a promise: if your property, or your search, calls for discretion, it will be total.
Starting over at 54.

Three things. Nothing superfluous.

Selling without a shop window?
Inheritance, divorce, public profile, or simply not wanting to be exposed: your property can be presented without ever being published. Everything starts with a valuation. It is confidential, like everything else.
I don't sell properties. I place the right people at the right addresses.
