No blind algorithm. A site visit, a rigorous comparable analysis, and a complete report signed by an agent who has known your valley for 17 years.

Online estimators cross-reference a handful of public transactions with a postcode and return a figure. For a standard apartment in a large city, that is sometimes enough. For a south-west facing chalet in Verbier, a mayen in Bruson, or a duplex in Le Châble with its own underground garage, that figure carries no weight.
A quick estimate is often paid for twice: first when the property is underpriced on sale, then when an agent overshoots to reassure a client, and no one buys.

History, context, location
BAGNES IMMOBILIER · USPI VALAIS
History, context, location. Reference photographs, site plan, detailed architectural description.
Surface areas calculated to USPI Swiss recommendations, Valais version. Net habitable surface, gross habitable surface, gross sales surface (SVB).
Cross-referenced with actual transactions over the past 24 months in the area, weighted by the property's own characteristics.
Over the period observed, the Val de Bagnes area has risen by 9.2 %, supported by steady international demand and a tight secondary market in peak season.
Reading of the local market, seasonal dynamics, applicable taxation, transfer duties and property capital gains tax in the Valais.
At the end of a weighted comparable analysis of 24 actual transactions in the area, the property's market value is set within the following range:
Recommended median for going to market: CHF 1.45 M. This valuation takes into account the south-west orientation, the unobstructed view onto Le Catogne, and the post-2022 works.
A substantiated market value, a market range, and a positioning strategy: signed and dated by the agent who visited the property.
The “Portrait d'une estimation” report is our signature format, developed in-house. It supports a sale as much as a succession, a divorce, or a simple need to see clearly the value of one's property. The figures shown above are provided as an illustration only.
We do not sell a figure, we sell a reading. The reading of an agent who has been on site, checked the orientation, measured the rooms to USPI standards, and cross-referenced all of it with actual transactions in the valley. It takes longer. It is more accurate. It is the valuation that stands before a notary or a bank.
Our offices sit at Route de Verbier 13, in the heart of Le Châble. In an emergency, we are on site before most insurers. Personal acquaintance with the local craftsmen, the water boards and the quirks of each hamlet.
Most valuations conflate habitable surface, floor area and weighted surface. We apply the USPI Swiss recommendations (August 2014) and the Valais cantonal practice (SVB). It is this level of precision that separates a credible valuation from a figure pulled out of thin air.
We come back a second time to hand over the report. We take the time to explain the range, the assumptions, the risk factors. It is a conversation, not a deliverable lobbed over the hedge.
A phone call or an email. We understand the context (sale, probate, refinancing) and set a visit at your convenience, usually within 7 days.
60 to 120 minutes depending on the property's complexity. We come in person, at different times of day if needed to assess actual sun exposure.
The real work begins after the visit. Cross-referencing with comparable transactions from the past 24 months, study of the local market, verification of easements at the Land Registry.
We come back to you in person, with the printed report on the table. We present the range, explain the assumptions chosen, and answer questions.
You leave with the “Portrait d'une estimation” report printed, signed and dated. A signed PDF version is also sent to you by email.

Geographic area
Val de Bagnes, Verbier, Le Châble, Bruson, Sembrancher, Orsières, Vollèges, Le Levron, Sarreyer, Versegères, Lourtier, Fionnay, and the whole of l'Entremont on request.
We had been given three online figures, each more than 200,000 francs apart. Bagnes Immobilier's report enabled us to set a fair price, and to sell in six weeks at the asking price.
For our mother's estate we needed a document that would stand up legally. The report delivered was accepted without discussion by the notary and by the three heirs. It was exactly what we needed.
I am the agent who will take your call, who will come to your home, who will measure your property, and who will sign your report. No subcontracting, no intermediary. You speak to the person who signs.
