FAQ.

Do you have any questions before entrusting your property to Altitude Immobilier? Here are the answers to our sellers' most frequent queries.

How long does it take to sell a property in Crans-Montana?

The timescales vary depending on the type of property, the price and the season. On average, a property correctly valued will sell within 3 to 9 months. Our network of active buyers can significantly speed up this timescale.

What are your fees for a sale?

Our fees are commission-based, payable only on a successful sale. They are defined and set out in the mandate signed by both parties. No administrative, advertising, or viewing fees are charged to you.

Simple mandate or exclusive mandate — what's the difference?

With an exclusive mandate, you entrust the sale solely to Altitude Immobilier for a specified period. This allows for a consistent and well-thought-out sales strategy. A simple mandate allows for multiple agencies to work in parallel, but it can harm the property's valuation.

En Suisse, les frais de notaire sont généralement payés par l'acheteur.

In Valais, notary fees (sale deed, land registry entry, transfer duties) are generally shared between buyer and seller according to local customs. We will advise you precisely before the sale.

Do I need to be present for the visits?

No, we manage all the visits for you. We collect the keys or coordinate with your tenants if necessary, and we send you a report after each visit.

My property is occupied by tenants — can I still sell it?

Yes, absolutely. Selling an occupied property is possible and common. The buyer takes over the current lease. We will advise you on the appropriate pricing strategy and manage the relationship with your tenant.
