Cerise Immobilier Gérance et Courtage sàrl

What Cerise Immobilier Gérance et Courtage sàrl does

Cerise Immobilier Gérance et Courtage sàrl is a privately held, family-owned Swiss real estate agency (sàrl structure) founded in 2007 by brothers Alfred Bavaud (HEC economist) and Paul Bavaud (EPFL civil engineer). Headquartered at Avenue Centrale 151 in Villars-sur-Ollon, canton of Vaud, the firm operates with a 6-person team focused exclusively on the Vaud Chablais sub-region, covering municipalities including Ollon, Gryon, Bex, Aigle, Les Diablerets, Leysin, and Villeneuve.

The agency offers an integrated service portfolio across the residential property lifecycle: sales (Vente) of chalets, apartments, villas, and buildings; rentals (Location) of long-term and seasonal lets; property and condominium management (Gérance et PPE); property appraisals and online valuations via a RealAdvisor-powered tool; and fiduciary/trust services (Fiduciaire) as an add-on. The firm's technology stack is built on the Apimo agency platform with a publicly accessible listing portal and free online valuation module; no proprietary AI, mobile app, or partner-facing API is documented. The agency is a member of USPI (Union Suisse des professionnels de l'immobilier).

Cerise earns revenue through three primary streams: (1) transaction commissions on property sales, (2) recurring fees from rental and condominium management contracts, and (3) professional services fees for appraisals and fiduciary work. Distribution is conducted via a traditional field-sales model from the single Villars-sur-Ollon office, complemented by a self-serve online listing portal, WhatsApp, social media channels, and email newsletters. A core strategic differentiator is the close partnership with Archisol Sàrl, the Bavaud family's architecture and renovation firm, which enables the agency to bundle real estate advisory with concrete renovation and construction project support — a vertical integration rare among small Swiss regional agencies.
