Second home · Haute-Savoie
A trusted local presence for your Alpine home.
Owning a chalet or apartment in Chamonix, Megève or Saint-Gervais from London, Geneva or New York means one thing: you need someone reliable on the ground. Since 2009 I've been that person for private owners across Haute-Savoie — one consistent, discreet, English-speaking contact, coordinated with your agency or concierge.
- One consistent contact — no rotating staff
- English and French correspondence (email, WhatsApp)
- Discreet — I never share client details or photos
- Professional liability insurance
- Coordination with your agency or concierge

Seasonality
A home ready for every visit.
A second home lives on a different rhythm from a primary residence: long absences, short and intense stays, alternating winter and summer. I adapt visits so the home is always in the state you want to find it — and never left unattended between two stays.
Winter · ski season
Heating started in advance, pipes purged if needed, linen prepared, seasonal essentials restocked.
Summer · family stays
Full airing, deep clean, terrace and outdoor areas ready for arrival.
Off-season
Regular check-in visits, mail collected, any anomaly flagged quickly.
Frequently asked questions
What foreign owners most often ask.
＋I live abroad — how do we start without me being on-site?
Everything is set up remotely: an introductory call by video or WhatsApp, a walk-through of the residence, and key handover via your agency, concierge or a secure key safe. You never need to travel to launch the service.
＋How are keys and access handled?
Keys stay with your concierge, your agency or in a coded key safe. I do not keep a duplicate without your written consent. Every visit is logged in the report.
＋Can I receive a report after each visit?
Yes — an optional photo report is sent by WhatsApp or email after each visit: rooms checked, any incidents, essentials stock levels, upcoming dates.
＋What are the rates for a second home?
€36/hr incl. tax as a reference rate, with Essentiel · Confort · Signature packages detailed on the pricing page. The French SAP tax credit does not apply to non-French-resident owners.
＋Do you work with agencies and concierge services?
Yes, I plug into the existing organisation: access coordination, briefing on standards, respect for the concierge protocols. No competition with the service in place — I complement it.
