Three areas of expertise.

Rousseau 5 property services in Geneva — development management, residential and off-market brokerage, wealth advice. One market: the Left Bank.

Discover

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

  1. 01

    Land acquisition

    Sourcing, negotiation and due diligence across the Canton of Geneva.

  2. 02

    Architectural design

    Coordination of architects, engineers and consultancies.

  3. 03

    Financing & permits

    Financial structuring, planning application, administrative follow-up.

  4. 04

    Construction & management

    Site supervision, cost control, reporting at every stage.

  5. 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.

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.

Confidential

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.
