The Art of
Expert Matchmaking.
Transparency on fees, networks, and why expert-led searches secure the best properties in Switzerland.
Decades of Connections.
Relocation experts aren't just searchers; they are gatekeepers. They maintain deep, personal relationships with real estate administrations and private landlords built over years of successful placements.
Their network includes past clients leaving their flats and asking for a vetted successor, and access to properties weeks before they hit any public portal (if they ever do).
Relocation Services
Why do experts charge?
Relocation agencies provide a specialized service that bypasses the public market. They act as gatekeepers, ensuring your profile is at the top of the pile. They charge because their work involves deep market screening, personal negotiation with landlords, and the creation of highly professional dossiers that have a nearly 100% acceptance rate.
Pricing Models & Fees
Setup & Assessment
A non-refundable fee for profile curation, market screening, and leveraging the partner network for your search.
Hourly Support
Flexible support for specific tasks like contract review, viewing representation, or legal advice.
Homesearch Packages
SARA (Swiss Association of Relocation Agents) members typically work with fixed packages. These cover the entire process from school search to city registration.
Note: Every agency in our network has its own independent pricing structure. We ensure transparency by having you discuss these directly with the agency during your initial match call.
Who is it worth it for?
Busy executives who cannot visit 20 properties personally.
Families needing specific school catchment areas.
International arrivals without a Swiss credit history yet.
Don't block your cash.
In Switzerland, a deposit of 3 months' rent is standard. Instead of locking up CHF 10,000+, use Swiss deposit insurance.

The Hidden Market Reality
A Sellers' Market
Switzerland is a high-demand, low-inventory market. For premium properties, there's no need for sellers to publicize on portals like Homegate and deal with 200+ enquiries. The best properties change hands 'under the hand' (off-market).
Absolute Discretion
Many high-net-worth owners and executives value privacy above all else. They only list within trusted, closed networks to ensure only vetted buyers gain access.
