A successful property sale is the sum of many disciplines.

Article in the Engadiner Post, 3.12.2020.

Vacation homes and apartments in the Engadin are very popular for Swiss people and guests from all over the world. Especially in today's times, people appreciate the nearby recreational opportunities just as much as investing in the safest possible tangible assets. Ginesta Immobilien combines these worlds ideally: the company understands local sellers and has the right access to the national and international markets that seek such properties.

Franco Giovanoli, who manages the Ginesta office in St. Moritz and, together with Morena Vassella, personally advises and accompanies all sellers and prospective buyers, knows the Engadine like the back of his hand. He and she are both at home here and know about the popular places as well as the hidden paradises. They can give tips on where to find the finest pizzoccheri or the most delicious nut gateau, where the sun shines longest and the snow is still the most gripping in April. And above all, as specialists, they both know the real estate market in the Engadin.

The right time to sell is now

And this market is attractive, as Franco Giovanoli confirms: "We had 60% more visitors to our website this year and sent 50% more documentation to interested parties than last year. The demand for a second home in our beautiful region is high. And they are looking for everything, from attractive family holiday homes in the medium price segment, to special May residences in good locations, to luxurious properties such as villas or prestige apartments". 

Success factor 1: The right assessment

This is where Ginesta Immobilien shows its strengths to the full, because as a family-run company with a history of over 75 years and five branches in Switzerland, the real estate specialists have their own valuation desk with certified valuation experts. This is an advantage for sellers, since the correct valuation always leads to a goal-oriented sales strategy and serves to ensure that the transaction is completed quickly.

Success factor 2: Access to the target group of potential Swiss buyers

The company Ginesta Immobilien was founded in Küsnacht on Lake Zurich and still has its headquarters there today. This anchorage in one of the most privileged areas of Switzerland opens 
Sellers the huge potential of the Ginesta database, with over 10,000 search subscriptions, which are informed before the market when a hit occurs, and 40,000 newsletter subscribers. This often results in coveted Ginesta objects not appearing on real estate portals from the outset.  

Success factor 3: International networking for even more sales potential

As a member of one of the largest brokerage networks with 550 companies in 70 countries, the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, and through its network with Knight Frank, which has worldwide access to prospective buyers in the world's attractive mountain regions, it offers sellers another enormous potential of potential buyers who would like to buy in Engadin.

Success factor 4: The right packaging

Every property has something special that makes it unique. At Ginesta, the team in St. Moritz specifically identifies this and all experienced specialists in the company professionally process it. With professional photos, accurate texts, multilingualism, 360° tour and an Internet presentation optimized for quick searches.

Success factor 5: Support from inquiry to payment

The property is located in St. Moritz, the seller lives in Lucerne, and the buyer comes from Milan: a common scenario that Franco Giovanoli and Morena Vassella practiced to make a success story and professionally accompany all those involved on an equal footing until notarization at the notary's office. Because Ginesta Immobilien stands for full service, and in all of its branches and for 75 years has pursued the proven philosophy that only the highest quality leads to a level of satisfaction that is gladly recommended.
