About SWS Advisors

SWS Advisors brings together decades of experience in luxury real estate, private equity and development in Val d'Isère to advise investors and brands on commercial property and business acquisitions.

We source off-market opportunities, negotiate them and structure them, so our clients enter one of the world's most exclusive resorts with confidence.

01

Commercial real estate

Shops, restaurants, hotels and mixed-use assets in a resort where supply is scarce and yields have held up. We source, analyse and broker for investors looking to store value in stone.

02

Hospitality & brands

For a select few hotel groups and premium brands, we identify the right address in Val d'Isère, quietly and ahead of the market.

03

Development sourcing

Land, buildings ready for a second life, rooftop extensions on existing residences: we bring developers their next project in Val d'Isère, and the sales strategy to go with it.

The founders

Two very different skill sets. One shared obsession with Val d'Isère.

Tessera Swallow

The trusted adviser.

Since 2018, Tess has been one of the most respected voices in Val d'Isère's luxury property market. She knows the valley's chalets, residences and developers inside out, and has a rare sense of what a property is really worth, and why.

British, international and French clients trust her for one simple reason: she isn't there to sell them a property, she's there to give them her best advice. Every client gets an honest read, tailored to what they actually need.

At SWS, she brings that market knowledge, those relationships and the developers' trust.

Alice Escoffier

The strategic connector.

Alice sees the whole board. Twenty-five years across private equity and entrepreneurship have trained her to read a situation in its entirety: who wants what, where interests align, and which connection can become an opportunity no one else has spotted.

Her private-equity background gives her an investor's lens on every deal: returns, risks, financing, and what it takes for each party to say yes. She has sat on both sides of the table: negotiating commercial leases for her fashion brand MountainGirl, and co-developing a family chalet in Val d'Isère, where she negotiated the bank refinancing of the land.

At SWS, she originates the opportunity, brings the right people and advisers around the table, and steers the process through to a decision.
