Sébastien covers Chamonix and the upper valley. He joined the team this year and has already completed his first sale: an apartment in Chamonix, sold at the asking price, in four months. He also handles matters involving seasonal letting and the running of a property — a central subject in Chamonix, where many buyers purchase with a view to letting for part of the year.
A specialist in this area, your adviser also works with you across the wider region.
Sébastien does not yet have a property under his own name: rather than leave this section empty, the page shows the agency's properties in his commune. He can show you any of them, and he knows every file.
The figures he knows by heart, and which a seller is well advised to know too.
Source: Demandes de valeurs foncières (DGFiP, the French land-transaction register), commune of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc (74056), transactions recorded as « Vente » (sale), 2018 to 2020. Population 8,705 (INSEE, 2023 edition).
A single figure does not make a statistic, and we will not pretend otherwise. But a first property sold with no price reduction is a good start, and it deserves to be said. The figures on this page cover only his work at Swixim Sallanches, since he joined the agency: anything he may have sold previously, or under another brand, is not recorded in our software and so does not appear here.
Listed and then signed in 126 days, a little over four months, and at the asking price, with no downward negotiation. That is exactly what a seller wants: a price correctly valued from the outset, and a buyer who accepts it.
We publish these three figures in the knowledge that they rest on a single sale. The page says so explicitly rather than presenting them as an established record: as soon as he reaches five sales, the labels will switch to medians comparable with those of the other advisers. An adviser handling few properties at a time is also an adviser who follows each one closely: that is what his sellers gain today.
He does not have thirty mandates in progress. He calls back the same day, travels quickly, and gives each viewing the time it needs rather than rushing from one to the next.
One commune, one market: 296 apartments and 64 houses sold a year, with buyers from across Europe. He works that specific market, not the whole of Haute-Savoie.
He handles the entire file in both languages, with no intermediary: listings, viewings, negotiation and dealings with the notaire, the public officer who completes the sale. A decisive advantage in Chamonix.
In Chamonix, many buyers purchase in order to let for part of the year. Sébastien can put figures to that, which also helps a seller target the right buyers.
Sébastien handles enquiries, viewings and video calls in English as well as French, with no interpreter. In a market where 296 apartments change hands each year and a large share of buyers live abroad, that matters: you deal with one person, in your own language, from the first call to the notary.
Sébastien is starting with us, not from nothing. Every valuation he presents is reviewed with a senior adviser. The tools, the buyer database and the Swixim International network are the same for him as for advisers who have been in place for ten years.
His first sale went at the asking price. He has the time to look after yours.
