Our expertise: letting, selling and property management in the 3 Vallées
Entrusting your property to us, choosing where to spend your holidays, or buying or selling in the mountains: these are all decisions that require a partner who truly knows the area.
Since 1984, Agence Saulire has been specialising in three areas: letting, selling and maintaining your property, across a region it knows inside out: Méribel-Mottaret and Courchevel – La Tania, two resorts situated within the 3 Vallées ski area.
In practical terms, this is what sets our expertise apart and explains why owners, buyers and holidaymakers continue to place their trust in us season after season.
Why choose Agence Saulire? The foundations of our expertise
More than just three areas of specialism, our expertise is built on four core principles that our clients experience in every interaction:
Forty years in the same area
There’s no substitute for experience.
Since 1984, we have been the longest-established agency in Méribel-Mottaret.
Four decades of tracking the development of every residence, every area and the local market: this is what enables us to advise you accurately, quickly and without any guesswork.
In 2024, we decided to extend our expertise to the Courchevel la Tania market, where we have opened a new agency, which already manages 45 flats.
Mountain specialists
Renting, managing or selling property in a ski resort is nothing like the lowland property market: seasonality, an international clientele, ski-in/ski-out properties, and maintenance specific to the high-altitude climate.
This is precisely our area of expertise, and we understand all the requirements involved.
An independent, family-run agency
As an independent agency, our advice is guided solely by your best interests.
As a family-run business, we build close, long-term relationships – the same team, the same faces, season after season.
A specialised, multilingual team
Each area of expertise has its own dedicated contact, and our team is here to assist you in four languages (French, English, Russian and Spanish), all year round. As a member of the FNAIM and the Société des 3 Vallées, Agence Saulire operates strictly within the framework of the estate agency profession.
Rental & rental management: entrust your property to us with complete peace of mind
Our core business is ensuring your property generates income, without you having to worry about a thing.
As specialists in holiday let management in ski resorts, we strive to strike the right balance: maximising your return whilst maintaining the quality and appeal of your flat over time.
- Maximum occupancy across all channels.
Direct enquiries, email campaigns, professional partners (booking centres, travel agencies, tour operators), online platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb, Maeva) and ski groups: we market your property wherever travellers are.
- A commitment to transparency, backed by figures.
We undertake never to reduce your share by more than 20 per cent of the advertised retail price.
We guarantee that any commercial discounts applied to the advertised retail price will never reduce your owner’s income by more than 20 per cent. This means you retain a clear overview of your earnings, even in the event of a promotional offer. Each year, you set your marketing preferences. We then implement them according to your instructions. The more flexibility you give us, the more we can tailor our strategy to optimise the letting of your property.
- Your freedom to use the property as you wish is preserved.
You can enjoy your flat whenever you wish; we agree in advance on the periods you wish to let it out.
A dedicated owner’s portal then allows you to monitor your booking schedule in real time and, if necessary, amend your booking dates at any time.
- A guarantee of maintenance and refurbishment.
End-of-stay cleaning, covering any damage caused by tenants (subject to the terms of the letting agreement), a full annual clean, and a comprehensive inspection of the flat at the end of each season.
- Accurate and transparent accounts.
Detailed management statements, with an online owners’ portal accessible in real time. Ongoing monitoring of your accounts, with a monthly advance payment during the winter season and the balance paid in May.
- Showcasing your property – at our expense.
Professional photographs, floor plans and virtual tours produced by us, to capture interest from the very first click.
Holiday rentals: a warm welcome from a true mountain specialist
For holidaymakers, our expertise is measured by how smoothly your stay goes.
From booking to handing over the keys, we’re your dedicated point of contact, in your own language, throughout your week’s stay.
- A wide selection of properties, mostly right on the slopes, with 360° virtual tours to help you visualise your stay before booking.
- A hassle-free holiday: order your ski passes at the best price and collect them on arrival to save time on your first day of skiing; we also provide linen, cleaning, ski lesson bookings, cots and high chairs for added comfort during your stay.
- Tangible benefits: up to 20% off ski hire at our partner shops and on ski passes, depending on the season.
- Book and track your booking online, via your customer account, at any time.
Sales & transactions: buying or selling at the right price
Buying or selling in the mountains means knowing the true value of properties, area by area.
Our expertise in property transactions is underpinned by our long-standing knowledge of the market and how it has evolved over the years.
- A free valuation based on reality.
Our valuation is based as far as possible on our recent sales and those in the local area, not on theoretical averages. - Support from start to finish.
From putting together the paperwork to signing the deed of sale, we support you at every stage with one priority: responsiveness, efficiency and a personal touch. We are one of the few agencies to draw up preliminary sale agreements directly. This end-to-end management of your case means we remain your sole point of contact throughout the process, ensuring seamless support. - Comprehensive, seamless and personalised support to ensure your sale is successfully completed.
- Expertise in the technical aspects of mountain property. The Carrez Law, asbestos, Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), electrical survey, and risk assessment (ERP): nothing is left to chance.
Clear, transparent fees, on a sliding scale for exclusive mandates, with the cost of surveys and 3D visualisations covered where appropriate. - Expertise in new-build properties, with developments such as BÂRMA in Courchevel-La Tania, or So Pure and Le Fontany in Méribel Mottaret
There are still opportunities available – please do not hesitate to contact us

Maintenance & repairs: a property kept in top condition all year round
A well-maintained property rents out better, sells better and retains its value better.
That’s why we have a dedicated maintenance service, led by a technical manager and a versatile technician – a real asset, especially for owners who aren’t on site.
- Day-to-day technical monitoring of your property, including repairs (particularly in winter).
- Advice and supervision of building work: fitting out, renovation, drawing up quotes and monitoring the work
