Arribas Immobilier opens its doors in Ferney-Voltaire: a new era for local real estate

Since February 24, 2026, the real estate landscape of Ferney-Voltaire has been enriched by a new address: Arribas Immobilier officially opens its physical agency in the busiest street of the city. Far from being just another agency that is setting up, this opening marks the passage of a 40-year family history in the Pays de Gex to a new stage, more modern, more visible, and still deeply rooted in the territory.

40 years of local history, a new page opening

One family, one territory, one expertise

The Arribas family is not new to the Pays de Gex. For four decades, she has known the territory, its developments, its actors, its specificities. This intimate knowledge of the field, passed down from generation to generation, is now the backbone of Arribas Immobilier.

When you have been immersed in real estate in Gessian for 40 years, you don't discover the market by reading national statistics. We live it. We know the history of each district, the evolution of each municipality, the reasons why a property sells or stagnates. We know that an apartment 300 meters from the Moillesulaz customs office is not positioned as the same property 3 kilometers away. We understand the expectations of cross-border workers because we have been working with them for years.

Marine and Matthieu Arribas, who now run the agency, decided to structure this family expertise in a modern professional framework. Not to change what works – local roots, proximity, knowledge of the field – but to amplify it with today's tools and methods.

Why Ferney-Voltaire? Why now?

The choice of Ferney-Voltaire as a physical anchor is obviously not a coincidence. It is the border town par excellence, the one that concentrates a significant part of the real estate demand in the Pays de Gex. Its geographical position, just a few minutes from Geneva, makes it a must for all cross-border workers who settle in the region.

Setting up the agency in the busiest street in Ferney means being exactly where you need to be. It means offering maximum visibility, allowing the inhabitants of the neighbourhood and newcomers to spontaneously push the door, to ask their questions, to engage in a discussion. In a market where trust and proximity matter enormously, this physical presence changes everything.

The timing, at the beginning of 2026, also corresponds to a strong dynamic on the local real estate market. After the post-crisis adjustments in interest rates, the Pays de Gex market is back on track. Cross-border workers continue to flock, demand remains strong, and the need for professional support has never been greater. This is the ideal time to offer a structured and modern service offer.

An agency designed for comfort and efficiency

A space that reflects what we offer

When you push the door of Arribas Immobilier, the first impression counts. We wanted a place that reflects our approach: modern, welcoming, professional without being cold. The agency, completely renovated, covers about 80 m² organized in open space.

The choice of Scandinavian-style parquet flooring, light and warm, combined with contemporary designer furniture, creates an atmosphere that is both professional and relaxed. We are neither in the impersonal corporate office, nor in the old-fashioned neighborhood agency. We are looking for a balance: to put you at ease while showing you that we take our job seriously.

This open space promotes direct exchanges between the team and customers. No unnecessary partitions, no separations that create distance. When you come to see us for an estimate, advice, or simply to ask a question, you are welcomed into an environment conducive to discussion and listening.

A tight, responsive and complementary team

Arribas Immobilier is above all a human team on a human scale. There are three of us: Marine Arribas and Matthieu Arribas, brother and sister, co-managers of the agency. They embody the new generation of the family, one that combines the heritage of local expertise with modern methods of real estate marketing. Marine and Matthieu grew up in the Pays de Gex, know every corner of the territory, and above all, intuitively understand the dynamics that move this very special market.

Antoine Lanfranchi, independent agent, completes the team. Its integration makes it possible to expand the network, to multiply contacts, and to provide a complementary view of the market. The status of independent agent offers him flexibility that directly benefits the clients.

Three people is deliberately few. We are not trying to be the biggest agency in the sector. We want to be the most efficient, the most responsive, the one where each customer is truly taken care of personally. No excessive standardization, no customers who get lost in the meanders of a sprawling structure. At Arribas Immobilier, you have a dedicated contact person who can be reached and involved from the beginning to the end of your project.

What differentiates us: tradition and modernity

Local roots: our DNA

You can't improvise yourself as a specialist in the Pays de Gex. This territory has its codes, its particularities, its specific expectations. Cross-border workers, who represent the bulk of our clientele, are not looking for the same thing as buyers from Paris or Lyon. Their relationship to travel time, their sensitivity to the living environment, their ability to buy, their need for support in French administrative procedures: all this requires a detailed understanding.

Our 40-year family history in the Pays de Gex gives us this advantage. We know the municipalities one by one, the neighborhoods street by street. We know where the best schools are, which roads are fluid in the morning towards the border, which residences are well managed, which urban planning projects will impact this or that sector.

No algorithm, no national platform can reproduce this knowledge. This is our fundamental added value, the one that makes an Arribas Immobilier estimate accurate, that advice is relevant, that support is reassuring.

Mastery of modern tools: our strength

But local anchoring is no longer enough in 2026. The real estate market has become digitalized, and those who do not follow this evolution quickly become marginalized. At Arribas Immobilier, we have perfectly integrated this reality.

A strong digital presence : our website, our social networks, our content strategy are designed to be visible where buyers are. Because yes, 95% of real estate searches today start online. To be absent from digital is to be invisible to the majority of potential buyers.

Targeted online advertising campaigns : we use modern advertising levers (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram, LinkedIn) to precisely reach the profiles that correspond to each property. A family T4 close to schools? We target young cross-border couples with children. A designer apartment in the city centre? We reach young workers, single or in couples. This data-driven approach maximizes the visibility of each mandate.

Systematic professional photos and videos : we never compromise on visual quality. Each property entrusted to Arribas Immobilier benefits from photos taken by a professional photographer, with optimized angles, controlled light, and studied enhancement. For exceptional properties, we also produce immersive videos and 360° virtual tours.

Why this investment? Because the figures are clear: a property with professional photos sells 30% faster and often at a better price than a property with amateur photos. It's mathematical.

A network of cross-border workers : over the years, we have developed a substantial address book of cross-border workers, active or in the process of setting up. This network, nourished by our relationships, our digital actions, and our presence on dedicated groups and forums, often allows us to connect buyers and sellers even before the property is officially on the market. This ability to generate qualified demand makes all the difference.

Our services: sales and valuation, in complete transparency

Real estate sales: our core business

At Arribas Immobilier, we have chosen to focus on what we do best: the sale of real estate in the Pays de Gex and the Lake Geneva region as far as Haute-Savoie.

No dispersion, no parallel rental to "make volume". We want to be excellent at our core business, not average at everything. This positioning allows us to devote 100% of our energy, resources and expertise to sales.

Our promise: to sell your property as soon as possible, at the best price, with the maximum peace of mind for you.

How do we get there?

A fair estimate from the start : we take the time to analyse your property, to locate it precisely on the market, to compare with similar recent sales. No inflated estimate to win the mandate (unfortunately a common technique), but a realistic price that generates demand immediately.

Professional promotion : home staging if necessary, professional photos, writing of impactful ads, multi-channel distribution (real estate portals, social networks, our customer base). Your property is presented in the best light.

Proactive communication : We don't just post an ad and wait for it to bite. We activate our network, contact potential buyers directly in our database, relaunch, follow. We are hunters, not gatherers.

Support from A to Z : from the first visit to the signing at the notary's office, we manage everything. Diagnostics, sales file, visits, negotiation, administrative follow-up. You don't have to worry about anything.

Free property valuation: the starting point

Before selling, you need to know how much your property is really worth. It's the basis of everything. A bad estimate is the assurance of losing weeks or even months, and often selling for less than you could have gotten with the right price from the start.

At Arribas Immobilier, the estimate is free and without obligation. You can contact us simply to find out the value of your assets, without any obligation to entrust us with the sale afterwards.

Our estimate is based on:

  • A physical visit to your property (we do not make an estimate over the phone or on photos)
  • A comparative analysis of recent sales in your industry
  • Taking into account the specificities of your property (condition, services, precise location)
  • Knowledge of current market trends
  • A professional look at the strengths and areas for improvement

At the end of this estimate, you leave with a detailed report, a recommended selling price, and personalized advice to optimize marketing if you decide to sell.

An extended coverage area: from the Pays de Gex to Lake Geneva

While our physical agency is located in Ferney-Voltaire, our area of intervention is much larger. We operate throughout the Pays de Gex (Ferney-Voltaire, Saint-Genis-Pouilly, Prévessin-Moëns, Divonne-les-Bains, Gex, Ornex, Cessy, etc.) as well as around Lake Geneva as far as Haute-Savoie.

This extended coverage responds to a reality: many cross-border workers hesitate between several municipalities before deciding. Some want to be as close as possible to Geneva, others prefer the quieter living environment of the outlying municipalities, others are looking for a compromise. Being able to support a client in several sectors, show them different options, compare the advantages of each location, is a real plus.

Our in-depth knowledge of these different territories allows us to effectively advise our clients, whether they are selling or buying. We don't sell a standardized product, we sell a solution adapted to each life project.

Why choose Arribas Immobilier?

Because we are a family agency that understands you

Working with a local family agency is not the same as going through a national franchise where you are one of 500 files. With us, decisions are made quickly, exchanges are direct, and your project is really close to our hearts.

Our local reputation is built customer after customer, sale after sale. We can't afford to disappoint, and we don't want to. Every satisfied customer talks about us around them, and in a territory like the Pays de Gex where word-of-mouth works very well, this satisfaction is our best investment.

Because we master the codes of the border market

The real estate market in the Pays de Gex works differently from the rest of France. The buyers are mostly cross-border workers, with specific expectations, particular constraints (CHF/EUR exchange rate, sometimes complex bank financing, double taxation), and a sharp eye for quality.

We speak their language. We understand their problems. We know what they are looking for, how they reason, what arguments affect them. This intimate understanding of our core customer base allows us to sell better and faster.

Because we invest in every mandate

Entrusting the sale of your property to Arribas Immobilier means ensuring that we will put all the necessary means to succeed:

  • Professional photos
  • Videos for all types of properties
  • Targeted digital advertising campaigns (several hundred euros of advertising investment per mandate)
  • Dissemination on all major real estate portals
  • Activation of our personal and professional network

We take care of these investments. You don't have to pay anything upfront. We are paid only for success, for signing at the notary's office. If we don't sell, we don't earn anything. This logic naturally pushes us to give our best.
