Holiday homes and flats in the Engadine are very popular with Swiss people and guests from all over the world. Buyers value the nearby recreational opportunity just as much as the investment in a tangible asset that is as safe as possible. Ginesta Immobilien combines these worlds ideally: they understand the local sellers and have the right access to the national and international markets, markets where such properties are sought after.

Franco Giovanoli, who runs the Ginesta office in St. Moritz and personally advises and accompanies all sellers and prospective buyers with his team, knows the Engadine like the back of his hand. He grew up here and knows all about the popular places as well as the hidden paradises, pizzoccheri or the tastiest nut cake, where the sun shines longest and the snow still has the best grip in April. And above all, he knows the real estate market in the Engadine, which ticks a little differently than others.

THE RIGHT TIME TO SELL IS NOW

And this market is attractive, as Franco Giovanoli confirms: «Despite uncertainty on the interest rate front, we still had short sales times for attractive properties, because demand for a second home in our beautiful region remains high. And people are looking for everything from an uncomplicated retreat for a couple or a family holiday home in the mid-price segment to the special Maiensäss and luxurious properties such as villas or prestige flats.»

SUCCESS FACTOR 1: THE RIGHT ASSESSMENT

This is where Ginesta Immobilien plays to its strengths, because as a family-run company with almost 80 years of history and eight branches in Switzerland, the real estate specialists have their own valuation desk with certified valuation experts. This is an advantage for sellers, as the correct appraisal always leads to a target-oriented sales strategy and serves to ensure that the transaction is completed quickly. Buyers also benefit from the high-quality valuations, at the latest when it comes to financing.

SUCCESS FACTOR 2: ACCESS TO THE TARGET GROUP OF POTENTIAL SWISS BUYERS

Ginesta Immobilien was founded in Küsnacht on Lake Zurich and is still headquartered there today. This anchoring in one of the most privileged areas of Switzerland opens up the huge potential of the Ginesta database to sellers, with around 25,000 search profiles, who are informed before the market when a hit occurs. This not infrequently leads to sought-after Ginesta properties never appearing on the real estate portals at all.

SUCCESS FACTOR 3: INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING FOR EVEN MORE SALES POTENTIAL

Membership of one of the largest broker networks with 550 firms in 70 countries, LeadingRE, and networking with Knight Frank, who have access to prospective buyers for the attractive mountain regions worldwide, opens up another enormous potential of possible buyers for sellers who would like to buy in the Engadine.

SUCCESS FACTOR 4: THE RIGHT PACKAGING

Every property has something special that makes it unique. At Ginesta, this is specifically worked out by the team in St. Moritz and professionally prepared by all the experienced specialists in the company. With professional photos, virtual tours, accurate texts, easy-to-read plans and a presentation on the internet optimised for quick searches.

SUCCESS FACTOR 5: SUPPORT FROM INQUIRY TO COUNTING

The property is located in St. Moritz, the seller lives in Lucerne and the buyer comes from Basel: a common scenario that Franco Giovanoli and his real estate marketers Patrizia Kreis and Alessandra Laffranchi have practised to turn into a success story in which all parties involved are accompanied professionally, multilingually and at eye level right up to notarisation at the notary's office. Because Ginesta Immobilien stands for full service and pursues the tried and tested philosophy in all its branches that only the highest quality leads to the satisfaction that is required.
