Portrait of Delphine Charvin

At the Barnes agency in Méribel, the trio of sales experts is well-known partly thanks to Delphine Charvin’s kind, approachable personality. Human values are at the core of her daily life, whether with friends and family, the people she meets at the agency, or her colleagues. Here is someone who will listen attentively to your thoughts and projects to make your alpine property dreams come true.

A childhood in the heart of the 3 Valleys

Delphine grew up in Courchevel 1850, and the mountains have shaped her taste for freedom. Some of her earliest memories are of finishing school and diving head-first into the great outdoors, whatever the season! In winter, she would slip on her skis to take the first cable-car cabin up the mountain; in summer, she would swap her skis for hiking boots and harnesses. Delphine crisscrossed and hiked up and down the peaks to remote refuges, discovering steep alpine landscapes following in the footsteps of her father, a ski patrolman who gave her and her sisters his taste for authenticity, effort, humility towards the mountains, and solidarity.

La communication, clé d’une confiance mutuelle

She quite naturally decided to enroll in medical school, but was forced to abandon her calling at the start of her seventh year. Yet despite everything, Delphine decided that she would stop at nothing to continue caring for others, and found solutions adapted to her new professional direction. An opportunity then arose in the mountain property sector and, enjoying every minute, she devoted herself entirely to her new responsibilities. For more than ten years, Delphine has guided her customers through their buying and selling projects with honesty and a great deal of candor. “Telling it like it is guarantees real trust between us,” she says. This is where her convictions lie, unflinchingly addressing issues while highlighting the strengths and positives of the properties she selects. After all, she knows why she is presenting them to you! Aware that she is playing a part in a precious moment in her customers’ lives, at the crossroads of logic, pleasure, and commitment, she is driven by long-term partnerships and close human relationships based on trust.

A wealth of knowledge and friendship

The view over the Saulire and the village spirit of Méribel have been sources of incredible emotions for many years. Delphine knows the real locals here. If you would like to know more about the resort’s history, ask her to introduce you to Marinette. If you would like to have lunch at a mountain bistro, ask her if Sylvain and Hélène in the Orée sector have any tables available. And she’s sure to recommend that you visit Gillou at Skiset to get the right sports equipment for your stay!

However, spending time with you can also mean talking about other topics, such as the latest exhibitions in Paris. Delphine has a passion for art, and will gladly share her thoughts on the recent Basquiat show, the must-see Morozov collection at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, or even the Van Gogh exhibit at the Musée d’Orsay, which left a lasting impression.
