A real-estate agency for Megève, with an office in Geneva.

Megève lies about 70 km from the city of Calvin — one hour by road: the closest major prestige resort to Geneva.

Why an office in Geneva?
Because a significant share of buyers of exceptional Megève properties live or work around the lake. Geneva: this is the resort’s primary client base, one hour away by road. An office there means receiving this clientele where they are, qualifying a search in full discretion, and activating our network of Swiss co-brokerage partners — an essential channel for off-market sales, which complete through the network rather than through advertising.
It is also a question of culture: ARES speaks the language of both shores. A régie on the Swiss side, an agency on the French side — the same standards of rigour and confidentiality, and a team working in French, English and Russian.
