Swiss Private Group · Lake Geneva Region
Private client advisory for the purchase, sale and rental of residential property in Lausanne and the Lake Geneva region. Publicly marketed properties, professional network introductions and selected off-market opportunities.
Lausanne & Lake Geneva
Lausanne occupies a singular position in the Swiss residential property market. As the seat of the International Olympic Committee, home to UNIL and EPFL, and a centre of private banking and international institutions, the city attracts a consistently international and high-calibre resident profile.
The residential market spans the city itself and extends across the Vaud Riviera — Pully, Lutry, Cully, Chardonne — and eastward to Montreux and the Swiss Riviera. Properties range from contemporary apartments in the city centre to lakefront villas in the surrounding communes, many with panoramic views over Lake Geneva and the Alps.
Swiss Private Group advises private clients across this market through Evgenia Sander, who brings direct knowledge of the Lake Geneva region and established relationships with owners, advisers and professional partners active in this market.

The Lausanne Market
The Lausanne residential market is characterised by consistent demand, limited supply and a predominantly international buyer profile. The city's combination of institutional prestige, natural setting, transport connections and the quality of the Vaud tax environment makes it one of the most sought-after residential locations in Switzerland.
The most desirable properties — lakefront residences in Pully and Lutry, historic villas on the slopes above the city, contemporary apartments with unobstructed lake views — rarely appear on public portals. They are offered privately, through relationships, to buyers who are known to be serious. Access to this segment of the market requires established professional connections.
Swiss Private Group maintains active relationships with owners, notaries, private bankers and professional advisers across the Lake Geneva region. This network provides access to opportunities that are not publicly available and allows the firm to act quickly when the right property becomes available.
"The best properties in Lausanne and on the Vaud Riviera are rarely advertised. They are offered privately, to buyers who are known — through relationships built over years."
