Buyer’s agent
How our buyer’s agents find your next chalet in Courchevel?
A buyer’s agent, chasseur immobilier in French, represents the buyer and only the buyer. In Courchevel, where the finest chalets change hands through private introductions long before any brochure exists, and where asking prices are set for a clientele expected not to haggle, that independence is not a nicety; it is the difference between paying fair value and paying the seller’s optimism.
It begins with a search mandate. Rather than a form, we start with a long conversation: how many weeks a year the chalet will be used and by whom, whether it must be ski-in ski-out or simply close to a lift, the sun exposure and the view, the walk to La Croisette or to the Le Praz village square, the drive from Moûtiers station or from Geneva and Lyon airports, the altiport if you fly in, and the real budget once notaire fees, works and running costs are honestly accounted for. From that we write a precise brief and agree the perimeter, 1850 and its sectors, Moriond, Courchevel Village, Le Praz and La Tania, before a single chalet reaches your inbox.
Then the network goes to work. Our Montclair side activates its relationships across the Tarentaise: agents who tip trusted buyers first, notaires who quietly hold inventory, private sellers, and the managers who know which chalets 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 sector and the altitude, 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, a roof under snow load, a punishing DPE, a copropriété in difficulty, a piste easement or an avalanche zone, before you book a flight.
Because our Ynspir architects sit at the same table, a chalet that needs work is assessed for renovation before you offer, with a realistic budget on paper and the mountain planning rules on roofs, height and materials already factored in. When you decide, we build the offer file, negotiate on results and coordinate 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 Courchevel.
