Questions to Alex Balkin, General manager, Savills – French Riviera & French Alps

Savills Group, a world leader in real estate consulting with more than 600 offices and 35,000 employees worldwide, is well established on the French Riviera and in the French Alps.

Our company is present on prestigious locations between Cap Martin and Saint-Tropez. We assist our clients in privileged sectors that preserve their value. We are also very well established in Courchevel and since 2016, in the centre of Méribel.

For 170 years, the Côte d’Azur has offered the guarantee of a sustainable investment. I would advise sellers to detach themselves emotionally from their property, to look at what really sold in the same area and find out a real estate agency with the right customer base.

Our expertise, particularly in the very high-end segment, has enabled us to recently sell a property close to Monaco for €14m.
