Cassandra Levene Named Among Switzerland's Most Influential Entrepreneurs Under 40

Swiss luxury real estate continues to draw unprecedented international attention — and Alpine Homes and its sister agency, Swiss Homes, are at the heart of the movement.

The discreet, demanding world of Swiss luxury real estate has rarely been busier. Across the country's most coveted destinations, international clients are showing exceptional appetite for Swiss property — and few names are as closely tied to that momentum as Alpine Homes and Swiss Homes.

This year, Bilan magazine — Switzerland's leading economic publication — recognised our founder Cassandra Levene among the most influential entrepreneurs under 40 in the country. At just 33, Cassandra embodies a new generation reshaping a sector long reserved for insiders. The distinction reflects a steady, detail-driven commitment to excellence in the high-end market.

A Family Heritage, A Modern Vision

Cassandra's path is built on a strong family heritage. Her father, Larry Levene, founded Alpine Homes nearly twenty years ago, establishing it as a benchmark in alpine real estate. Together, they co-founded Swiss Homes in 2023 — combining decades of on-the-ground experience with a thoroughly modern, fully digitalised approach to the business.

A Benchmark for International Clients

Swiss Homes specialises in the search, sale and construction of exclusive properties across Switzerland, working with Swiss and international ultra-high-net-worth clients in pursuit of luxury chalets, residences and investment properties. The agency's approach is ultra-selective, confidential and personalised — tailored to the highest standards of the market, and supported by legal, tax and architectural partnerships at every stage.

What sets the business apart is its access to a portfolio of rare off-market properties, paired with tailor-made guidance through every step of acquisition, construction and sale. In 2024, the company recorded growth estimated between 30 and 40 percent, driven in large part by demand for residences in leading alpine resorts such as Gstaad, Verbier and Crans-Montana.

This rising appetite reflects a broader shift. Switzerland's combination of stability, discretion and enduring quality of life continues to attract discerning buyers from around the world, who increasingly view a home in the Swiss Alps not merely as a seasonal retreat, but as a lasting investment and a lifestyle asset.

"Recognition among Switzerland's young real estate leaders is more than a symbol — it reflects a constant commitment to excellence, where every detail counts."

An Inspired Approach to Excellence

Behind the figures lies a sensibility shaped by a keen eye for aesthetics, contemporary design and architecture. That sharp eye carries directly into the way Alpine Homes and Swiss Homes approach luxury property: with elegance, depth and high standards. Our work is defined by meaningful encounters, an intimate understanding of place, and a desire to create lasting connections between exceptional properties and the clients who cherish them.

For more than twenty years, Alpine Homes has supported buyers and sellers across Switzerland's most sought-after destinations. As international interest in the country continues to climb, that depth of market knowledge — and the trust it has earned — has never been more valuable.

The entire Alpine Homes team extends its sincere congratulations to Cassandra Levene: an exceptional entrepreneur, working with exceptional properties.
