Relocation services for private individuals
If you are already in Switzerland, and introduction meeting for sure would be the best start in order to define the first steps of your relocation. Of course we also give you advise over phone or through Skype. During the conversation we let you know how to set up the most important things in the most easy way. When you already know what you would like for us to provide to get you started, we can bring all relevant information and talk you through it. If you are not sure about everything yet, then we will provide what we believe to be sufficient. In any case you will get more information during our chat, then if you were to spend hours searching through the internet. At the end of our Meeting/call, if you would like to further employ our services, we can customise it to your needs and return to you with a quote of costs.

Costs for relocation support
The cost of assistance in finding accommodation can vary greatly depending on the type of help you need. As with many services, it is similar in the relocation sector: the more you take on yourself, the cheaper it will be for you. If a consultation is enough for you, during which you can ask any questions that arise and you can then take care of numerous steps yourself, this costs CHF 180 for 1 hour, for example. An orientation tour, during which you will get to know the city and its surroundings and thus know better where you would like to live, costs from CHF 350, depending on the time required. An apartment search is of course much more time-consuming and will usually cost from CHF 2,200. Details of the points included in this can be found under the heading “Homesearch”. We will be happy to provide you with an offer that is tailored to you and your needs.
Information on the procedure
You have just received the new employment contract and you know; now it’s getting serious! There’s a lot to plan and you’re ready to tackle all the necessary points.
How do we proceed?
After placing an order with us, we will send you a summary of the criteria you have provided, along with an invoice for the advance payment. Once the payment is confirmed, we will begin the process.
You may have already shared your preferences and requirements with us in writing, or we can arrange a call to discuss them in detail. During this discussion, we will assess the feasibility of your requests and provide honest feedback. It is important to set realistic expectations; for instance, we cannot promise to find your dream home if certain factors make it unachievable. These factors could include a limited budget, poor connectivity in your preferred locations, or missing documentation required for the application process.
Additionally, in some cases, earning too much might disqualify you from certain housing options due to specific eligibility criteria, even though it may sound counterintuitive.
Apartment search
This part of our service is the most popular. We search various property websites for suitable apartments, provide you with links to the listings, and include comments about the location or any potential concerns. For example, if you prefer a quiet street, we might note that a particular property is in a noisier area.
You let us know which properties interest you, and we will attempt to arrange viewings. These viewings are typically group appointments, where multiple prospective tenants view the property simultaneously. Occasionally, individual appointments may also be arranged.
Depending on the service package you have chosen, we will either inform you of the appointment details so you can attend the viewing yourself, or we can accompany you. Alternatively, we can conduct the viewing on your behalf (after confirming whether videos are allowed).
Based on your preferences, we will then prepare and submit the application to the property managers or owners.
Found an apartment, now what?
Congratulations! You’ve been accepted! We’re thrilled for you. Next, the rental documents will be prepared, and we’ll ensure you understand everything you receive. We’ll review all the documents with you and provide a clear summary of their contents.
Additionally, we’ll make sure you’re informed well in advance about the handover date. If you’ve booked this service, we’ll accompany you to the handover to ensure everything goes smoothly.
We’re also here to support you with all other aspects of your relocation. This includes tasks such as registering with local authorities, providing orientation tours, assisting with school searches, and much more. For more details, please explore the relevant sections on our website.
