| Activities |

| Management of rented property Our property management service consists of seven specialised groups, each reporting to a Manager. Each group includes secretaries, managers and technical experts, thus forming a cohesive team. Management of Co-ownership properties A specialised team looks after the management of co-ownership properties, a role which involves taking care of technical, administrative and financial issues relating to the communal parts of a building, including organising and running the annual general meeting. The residential rental division (villas, luxury apartments) is responsible for the administrative and technical follow-up of rentals. This division is separate from management for it needs a special approach with fluency in English, in order to deal with international tenants. The division also estimates potential rents when an object is rented for the first time The commercial rental division is more specifically devoted to looking for office and shop tenants. They take in requests for commercial premises and offer vacant surfaces to registered applicants. Sale Our in-depth knowledge of the local market, combined with our know-how developed over many years and our extensive range of contacts enable us to meet our client’s aims without delay. Our sales service will be happy to help you find the apartment or villa of your dreams. To enable us to respond to the needs of our numerous clients, we have joined the Courtiers partenaires sales network (Naef, Pilet-Renaud, Bory, Brolliet, De Rham, etc.). Thanks to this partnership, we can offer you properties (sending particulars, providing information and arranging visits) introduced by our fellow agencies in the network (=> saving time, providing a huge selection, increased transparency -all at no additional cost). Development We can search for land, produce financial studies showing the feasibility of a development using market data, co-operate with the architect to obtain planning permission, look for appropriate sources of finance, manage the construction and prepare for the future administration of the building. Marketing The aim of this role is to organise the newly-constructed building, distribute the total rental by dwelling on the basis of specific criteria, obtain Orders from the Council of State for all subsidised buildings, look for tenants, produce tenancy agreements and look after the technical organisation of the building. Accounts This section looks after all accounting aspects of property management, property companies and co-ownership properties. Its IT system meets all current needs and can be developed in line with clients’ particular requirements. Legal Our legal section, managed by a qualified lawyer, provides advisory services to our clientele of property owners and, in particular, looks after all disputes arising during the course of our property management activity. Logistics This division is responsible for maintaining an efficient information system as well as our website grange.ch and our intranet. They are in charge of the equipment purchase management and also make our "corporate identity" more uniform by implementing the adopted communication strategy. . ^ top |

A new name The event which marked 2000, from our company’s point of view, was without doubt the change of company name. After taking over the real estate portfolio of the Régie Robert CORTHAY in 1991, followed by that of the Régie J. VOLPÉ & FILS in 1994, our company, known as G&C GRANGE, CORTHAY, VOLPÉ SA, Gérance et Courtage, became simply GRANGE & CIE SA - Agence immobilière. ^ top |

| History |
 In 1869, François-Louis Grange linked up with Mr Carey to create Régie CAREY & GRANGE. This marked the beginning of a long family saga…By 1879, just ten years later, a significant initiative was to underscore the necessary and fundamental role of real estate managers in the life of Geneva, when the Société des Régisseurs de Genève was founded. The raison d’être of the association of property managers in Geneva, of which Grange & Carey was one of the founding members, is quite simple. With the city surrounded by its fortifications, the only room for growth was upwards. With dwellings in Geneva becoming taller and larger, it was increasingly difficult for owners to manage a large number of such properties unaided. For this reason, property managers were established in Geneva during the nineteenth century. As regards this company in particular, it has now been a force in the real estate market, from generation to generation, for over 130 years. Today, Grange & Cie SA, 100% owned by the Grange family, is a real estate company which has succeeded in expanding while at the same time retaining its human scale. Our key advantages are, more than ever: skill, dynamism and personal attention. |
