Direct peers

• BARNES International Realty: French-rooted luxury real estate firm with deep presence in the French Alps (Méribel, Courchevel, Megève) and significant Swiss operations via affiliates. Direct overlap with FGP's primary geographies and buyer segments.
• Engel & Völkers: Global luxury real estate franchise with strong Swiss and French Alps presence. Competes directly with FGP in the same ski resort geographies (Verbier, Gstaad, Méribel, Courchevel) and serves a similar UHNW buyer profile with both resale and new-development mandates.
• Knight Frank: International luxury real estate firm with active Swiss and French Alps desk serving ultra-wealthy clients. Competes on Alpine chalet and lakeside villa mandates and also covers second-home regulatory advisory for foreign buyers.
• Christie's International Real Estate: Luxury affiliate network mirroring the brand-anchored model that FGP follows via Forbes. Targets trophy-property transactions globally with affiliate representation in major Alpine markets, overlapping directly with FGP's buyer pool.
• Sotheby's International Realty: Affiliated-luxury real estate network with comparable affiliate-affiliation model and Swiss/French Alps coverage. Most directly comparable peer because of the parallel between Forbes Global Properties and Sotheby's brand-driven affiliate network for luxury listings.
• John Taylor (United brands): Luxury real estate network with French Riviera origins and established Alpine ski resort (Courchevel, Megève) presence. Comparable boutique luxury positioning with similar price points and UHNW focus.

Regional players

• International Realty Concepts (IRC): Boutique luxury real estate firm with strong presence in French Alpine resorts like Megève and Chamonix. Comparable regional luxury alpine focus and similar customer base; potentially weaker brand affiliation but more localized depth in the French Alps only.
• Cardis Sotheby's International Realty: Swiss Sotheby's affiliate with deep Geneva and Vaud Riviera coverage, head-to-head with FGP's Geneva/Nyon/Montreux offices. Operates the same Swiss luxury lake and country property segments with comparable customer segments and similar foreign-buyer support services.

Others

• Comptoir Immobilier Group: Parent company and strategic partner providing FGP institutional backing, local market expertise, and operational infrastructure across Swiss real estate. Not a competitor but provides local depth, cross-referrals, and operational synergies that shape FGP's go-to-market.

Broad incumbents

• Savills: Global real estate advisory with luxury residential desks across Switzerland and France. Larger, publicly-listed parent with broader service portfolio (advisory, capital markets, residential) but overlapping in trophy-property transactions.
