Kretz by Félicité: The Same Values, Expanded Horizons
When we created Félicité & Cie, we made a deliberate choice: independence. The freedom to decide who we work with, which projects we support and, above all, to never sacrifice our way of practising this profession to a logic of volume.
A few weeks later, our partnership with Kretz Real Estate might seem to tell a different story. In reality, it is exactly the opposite.
With Kretz by Félicité, we are not giving up our identity. We are giving it a new dimension.
Our meeting with the Kretz family was first and foremost built around a shared vision of real estate. Two family stories, two independent companies and one common conviction: behind every transaction there is, above all, a human relationship, trust and often a story of legacy and transmission. It is this cultural alignment that made our partnership feel so natural.
In less than twenty years, Kretz Real Estate has built a distinctive brand. An international brand, certainly, but also a unique way of presenting properties and the places they inhabit. Their television series The Parisian Agency: Exclusive Properties, broadcast internationally on Netflix and in France on TMC, captivates millions of viewers. The Kretz family has successfully combined excellence, authenticity and powerful communication without ever losing what makes them unique. Today, with more than 100 agents, over 60,000 clients and a presence across numerous international markets, they bring us a level of exposure that would have taken years to build on our own.
This partnership is founded on a very tangible complementarity. Kretz brings us international visibility, digital expertise, advanced tools, a powerful ecosystem and access to a substantial pool of potential buyers. In return, we bring our deep knowledge of the Swiss market, our network and a real estate heritage that began in Geneva in 1962.
Our ambition is to combine the strength of an international brand with an exceptionally refined understanding of the local market. To provide greater exposure for the properties entrusted to us, to open access to a broader clientele, while continuing to know our clients personally, understand their expectations and advise them on their assets. For those who prefer it, complete discretion will always remain a priority.
Kretz by Félicité will focus on brokerage, development and new-build projects, as well as our Private Office activities, while Félicité & Cie will continue to manage property management services.
This new chapter will naturally begin where we are already deeply established: Geneva and Crans-Montana, before gradually expanding throughout Switzerland.
With Kretz by Félicité, we will continue to shape the future of real estate without ever compromising the values that guide us.
