The privileged clients of FGP Swiss & Alps also have access to an exclusive ‘private office’ on the Forbes Global Properties website. This exclusive and confidential platform is reserved for buyers looking for exceptional properties that are not showcased in the mainstream markets. Within this secure, password-protected interface, users can explore off-market properties, unique and often highly sought-after opportunities, while enjoying total discretion.

This service is not limited to consulting rare properties. The private office also offers personalised support with global advisory services.

Whether buying luxury homes, diversifying property portfolios or managing complex transactions, this service is designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding clients.

The most prestigious properties are rarely advertised on online platforms or in shop windows. These unique properties form part of an alternative market known as the ‘off-market’ market, where sellers and buyers are put in direct contact with one another, without going through estate agents’ websites or property listing portals. For those considering selling or buying a luxury property, this highly private market guarantees discretion and confidentiality – two essential aspects of off-market property. With Swiss & Alps, embark on a high-end property experience and gain access to the luxury market in Switzerland and the French Alps.

What is off-market property?

Off-market property refers to a segment of the luxury market in which properties are not listed on online portals or estate agents’ websites, but are sold in complete discretion through direct contact between owners and buyers. This private approach allows for the sale (and purchase) of prestigious properties without giving them visibility on the traditional market.

The off-market sector accounts for a tiny fraction of the property market, and consists exclusively of unique properties that are highly sought-after by buyers. These are rare gems, situated in exceptional locations, offering an unrivalled quality of life: Crans-Montana, Grimentz, Nendaz, Vandœuvres, Lausanne, Perroy, Gstaad, Rolle, Nyon or Puidoux in Switzerland; Courchevel, Méribel or Messery in the French Alps.

For example, the off-market property market in Geneva is estimated to comprise around forty properties valued at over 10 million Swiss francs.

Why sell or buy off-market?

This private market is characterised by the discretion of its transactions. For an owner, selling a property off-market ensures absolute confidentiality throughout the process: it is a way of selling your luxury house, villa or flat without advertising, protecting both your identity and the true value of your property.

In doing so, you benefit from a stress-free transaction, involving a minimum number of viewings (all by highly qualified prospective buyers), and concluded as quickly as possible. Finally, off-market properties generally sell for higher prices than those on the traditional market.

For buyers, off-market property offers a guarantee of exclusivity. When viewing a property privately, you are part of a select group of hand-picked buyers. This allows you to avoid competition and gives you more time to consider your options thoroughly. You have access to exceptional properties, incomparable gems, often unavailable through the usual channels.
