What Naef Gestion Internationale does

Naef Gestion Internationale SA is a privately-held Geneva-based multi-family office and real estate services firm founded in 1986 by Jean Naef and Lise Meylan. The company serves high-net-worth individuals, families, and SMEs in Switzerland with international reach into Europe and the United States, delivering three core service pillars: real estate (Immobilier) covering property valuation, residential and commercial brokerage, and investment project management; management and administrative services (Gestion & Administratif) spanning accounting, fiduciary, secretarial, HR, and tax work; and graphic design (Graphisme) including 3D visualization and virtual tours that support property marketing. Complementary offerings include dedicated family office representation, domiciliation, and intergenerational wealth transfer mandates, as well as SME business transfer intermediation. The firm is currently led by Marie-Aude Meylan, granddaughter of the founder, following a generational succession completed in 2018.

The business model is built on bespoke, quote-based engagements with multi-year contracting: revenue is generated from real estate brokerage commissions on transactions, professional services fees for administrative and accounting work, project-based graphic design fees, and recurring managed services for family office mandates. The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on direct outreach, a network of professional partners (lawyers, notaries, architects, engineers, fiduciaries), membership in CGI, and ARIF regulatory standing (recognized by FINMA) to access high-net-worth prospects. No public pricing tiers or standard fee schedules are disclosed.

Technology is a modest supporting layer rather than a core differentiator: 3D rendering and virtual tour capabilities are used to market residential and commercial listings, and properties are listed on the immobilier.ch platform for visibility. The firm operates from a single headquarters at Place des Philosophes 18, Geneva, with a headcount of 1-10 employees, three named executives (President, Head of Real Estate, Head of Graphic Design/3D), and no external institutional investors or parent company — ownership remains concentrated within the founding Meylan family.
