The only locally based experts for discreet, off-market property across Val d’Isère, Tignes & Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise
We are the only dedicated buyers agents located right here in the Upper Tarentaise, covering Val d'Isère, Tignes, Sainte Foy Tarentaise, La Rosière, Bourg Saint Maurice, Séez and the surrounding areas. We work with a full range of agents and agencies in the area to present on and off market listings directly to you. We support our buyers from search to completion and beyond with a fully bilingual locally based service.

I came to do ' just one season ' in 1997, and never went home. My career has been in property ever since, management, rentals, finally taking the plunge to move into sales a few years ago. After juggling between representing both the sellers and the buyers, I realised that a buyers agent was needed more here in the Alps than anywhere else. I decided to make the switch to becoming a truly independent advisor for buyers. Ellie and I started began to discuss the concept, and The Alpine Buyers Agent was born. I originally lived in Val d'Isére, before moving down to Sainte Foy Tarentaise and finally to Séez, where I live with my husband and 4 kids.
During my Business and French degree in 2001, I came to work for a Tour Operator based in the Alps and knew it was where I wanted to be based. After developing a French ski property department for an investment company in the UK, I moved to the Tarentaise to head operations for another company in 2011.
I wanted to move back into property so I spent several years working in acquisitions for a local notary and realised there was a gap in the market for a truly dedicated service for buyers. After living in Tignes for seven years, I moved to Séez where I now live with my husband and kids.
Property finding and buyers agents are nothing new in the UK and the US, particularly for clients looking for off -market or discreet listings with someone acting on their behalf to pre- screen and give honest feedback on potential properties. However, We are the only locally based independent dedicated buyer agents. Our expertise is in the ski resorts of Val d'Isère, Tignes, La Rosiére and Sainte Foy Tarentaise, however due to a strong demand we do cover houses and larger properties in the surrounding villages.
Our service is truly bespoke and we only take on a limited number of clients. Every search starts with a no obligation consultation to understand your needs. We will then proceed to discuss a fee structure which will be inline with your needs.
We use industry portals and data bases to collate information on properties that have recently transacted, as well as those that are currently not he market , the length of time they have been for sale and their price history. Buyers are always in a stronger position if they have knowledge to support their offer to the selling agent/ agency.
We have searched, bought, sold and renovated ourselves. We have helped clients negotiate the best possible deals, worked out their rentals yields and helped them to budget their renovations . This is not AI, or information taken from the internet. It's years of experience and local knowledge, tailored specifically to help you find the right property.
There is no other business that is locally based and able to present the whole market independently and without bias. There are some great established agencies and agents covering this area. There are also many buyers agents online that have some great advice for buying overseas, who can offer links or introductions to some agents, agencies or developers. Our local presence, connections and expertise set us apart from the rest.
Our partnerships have been built on trust and nurtured over many years. Agencies are keen to work with us as we bring them motivated buyers. In a world where many of the best properties exchange hands discreetly and off market, a trusted network is essential to accessing properties long before they hit the open market.

Unashamedly honest. With years of experience in the Tarentaise Valley, we are your trusted buyers agents.
If you are due to be in the area, please let us know. We are happy to visit you at your accommodation or in a mutually convenient spot to discuss our Alpine property options, including discreet sales. Whether you are looking for a local buyers agent or interested in off market listings, we are here to assist with your property finding needs.
