Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next apartment or house in Évian-les-Bains?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Évian-les-Bains, where the best lakefront apartments and hillside villas change hands by word of mouth among local agents and cross-border families, and where asking prices are pitched at Swiss purchasing power rather than at the notarised reality, that independence is not a nicety; it is the difference between fair value and the seller’s optimism.
It begins with a search mandate. Rather than a form, we start with a long conversation: what the home is for, who will use it and in which season, whether the lake view matters more than the garden, the afternoon light on a west-facing balcony, the walk to the Friday market or to the Port des Mouettes for the Lausanne boat, the drive to Geneva airport, and the real budget once notaire fees and works are honestly accounted for. From that we write a precise brief and agree the perimeter, the Belle Époque centre and lakefront, Grande Rive, the station district, the heights above the golf and the neighbouring shoreline towards Thonon, before a single property reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships across the Chablais: estate agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who quietly hold inventory, private sellers, and syndics who know which apartments are about to come to market. Every candidate is cross-checked against the national DVF database of notarised sales, so we know the real value for the street and the floor, not the brochure price. You receive short, curated selections with our honest verdict, floor plans and video walk-throughs filmed on site. We view on your behalf and flag the deal-breakers, damp in a lakeside ground floor, a failing roof, a punishing DPE rating, a copropriété in difficulty, an unstable hillside plot.
Because our Ynspir architects sit at the same table, a property that needs work is assessed for renovation before you offer, with a realistic budget and the Bâtiments de France and PLU constraints of a heritage lakeshore factored in. When you decide, we build the offer file, negotiate on results and handle the compromis de vente and the notaire in English. Found by Montclair, shaped by Ynspir, one mandate, your interest alone, from the first search to the finished home in Évian-les-Bains.

Renovation project management
Ynspir runs the works end to end. The fee is calculated on the works budget and covers design, quotes, artisans and site supervision.
Starting rates. Your exact fee depends on the brief and on the scope of the works, and is agreed in writing before anything begins. No fee is due if we do not find your property.
