04.09.2023
After 20 years of helping people find their dream home in the mountains, Alpine Homes is venturing off-piste into new locations. Our new sister company, Swiss Homes, is a luxury boutique estate agency that curates one-of-a-kind of homes for people in Switzerland and across the world. It takes forward the elements that made Alpine Homes what it is today; a family business that blends experience with a contemporary outlook to source extraordinary properties.
Our father-daughter team, Larry and Cassandra Levene, bring with them a mountain of experience and a vast network of contacts. All to help our clients navigate the intricacies of real estate with finesse and confidence. Alpine Homes was founded in 2006. For over two decades, we’ve been championing the Swiss Alps as a desirable and lucrative place to live and invest in – tethering new owners to a sense of adventure and wonder while helping buyers and developers with a full range of property services. Our team speaks many languages and has a deep knowledge of the Alps. Whether it’s seeking out the most breathtaking views or identifying the best investments – we know where to look. We work closely with our clients from start to finish, going above and beyond to help them find their perfect property.
For Swiss Homes, we’re taking our experience from the mountains down into the world’s most iconic cities. We will be seeking out one-of-a-kind properties and bringing these to discerning buyers around the world. Our belief is that luxury homes transcend architecture and design—they embody a way of living. We are curating a portfolio of historic and modern masterpieces, where form, material, light and experience are all considered.
As a father-daughter business, personal relationships mean the world to us. We understand that every individual has their own unique style, needs and interests. Our approach is always personal and individual – our job is to find the right home for you. Whatever, and wherever, that is.
Standing for integrity and upholding the highest ethical standards with transparency and trust, we guide our clients through the entire buying or selling process, providing expert advice, skilled negotiation, and unwavering support. So whether you’re looking for a luxurious chalet in the Swiss Alps, an elegant penthouse in Zurich, a magnificent villa in the French Riviera, or a prestigious estate in any corner of the globe, Swiss Homes will help you find your new place.
