Three areas of expertise.
Rousseau 5 property services in Geneva — development management, residential and off-market brokerage, wealth advice. One market: the Left Bank.
We do not do everything. We run developments, we sell properties, we advise on estates — on one bank, and all the way through.
First pillar
Development management
From the land to the handover of keys.
- 14
- years across the Canton of Geneva
Development is the oldest part of the house. We source land and properties across the Canton of Geneva for developers and investors, to build lasting residential projects. We are not the developer: we are the ones who find, structure and sell.
Detached or grouped villas, condominium buildings, roof extensions, major renovations: we work across the whole chain. Rooted in Geneva's economy, we work with architects, engineers and consultancies with whom we have already delivered.
The process, in five stages
-
01
Land acquisition
Sourcing, negotiation and due diligence across the Canton of Geneva.
-
02
Architectural design
Coordination of architects, engineers and consultancies.
-
03
Financing & permits
Financial structuring, planning application, administrative follow-up.
-
04
Construction & management
Site supervision, cost control, reporting at every stage.
-
05
Marketing
Target clientele, positioning, exposure, sale of the condominium units or villas.
Second pillar
Property brokerage
Every property has its buyer. We already know them.
- 6’000
- qualified buyers on file
Selling an exceptional property in Geneva is not about advertising it everywhere. It is about showing it to the right people, at the right moment, at a price you can defend. We know the buyers of the Left Bank because we have followed them for years.
A dedicated broker handles your file from the first conversation to the notarial signature: viewings, negotiation, administrative procedures, coordination with the notary's office. One contact, who knows your street.
Two ways to sell
Public market
On-market
Professional photography, virtual tours, exposure on the portals and the partner network. A reasoned price position and a written marketing plan, which you approve before anything goes online.

Off-market
No listing, no photographs online, no public trace. The property circulates within our private database of qualified buyers. For sellers who do not want their address displayed — and there are more of them than people think.

Third pillar
Advice & wealth strategy
A value, not an opinion.
Valuing a property in Geneva is not about applying an average price per square metre. It is about reading an address, a condition, a scarcity, a potential — and then testing them against the transactions actually recorded nearby.
We work from 699 transactions followed municipality by municipality, and from land register data. You receive a reasoned range, with the comparables that justify it — not a round number.
Four levels of reading
-
Valuation
Free and confidential, supported by the area's transactions.
-
Appraisal
In-depth analysis: address, condition, scarcity, potential, yield.
-
Value enhancement
What to fix before selling, what not to, and the right moment.
-
Potential study
Building rights, easements, zoning constraints and tenancy law.
End-to-end support
-
Legal
Contractual matters, property rights, condominium rules, leases and easements linked to the transaction.
-
Tax
Consequences of the sale: capital gains tax, length of ownership, the position of non-residents.
-
Notarial
Coordination with partner notaries: promise of sale, deed, transfer of ownership.
What we publish
The advice we give in meetings rests on what we write. Capital gains tax, tenancy law, plot ratio, mortgage certificates, condominium ownership: everything is explained, freely available, in the Knowledge centre.
