Zurich · since 2019
Swissnest runs a small, founder-led apartment search in Zurich built around a seven-step process, from a market check against your budget to a Swiss-standard dossier, daily flat selection, booking and attending viewings, submitting applications, and contract review with handover support. Viewings are charged per session and the success fee is one month's net rent, payable only when a flat is secured. The founders keep the client list short so arrivals deal with them directly rather than a call centre.

Zurich
Offlist is a private rental network that flips the usual search around. Instead of browsing listings, you create a profile describing what you want, and verified private landlords and relocation agencies reach out about matching off-market flats and arrange viewings. You can chat with the agencies and manage the whole search in one place. Access to the platform is currently free, and its inventory centres on Zurich, Geneva and Zug, with some flats in Lugano.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between using a rental platform and a relocation agent?
Rental platforms like ImmoScout24, Homegate, and Flatfox allow you to search for listings yourself using digital tools and alerts. Relocation agents like Alliance Relocation or Prime Relocation handle the entire process for you by finding homes, managing viewings, and securing the property.
Can I find furnished or temporary housing through these services?
Yes. Crossborders AG provides consulting for furnished interim housing, while UMS Ltd specializes in providing furnished apartments across major Swiss cities. Anchor Relocation also offers professional services for temporary housing.
Which options are best if I want to search for properties on my own?
ImmoScout24 and Homegate are large marketplaces that offer extensive listings and map searches. Flatfox is a strong choice if you want a fast English interface and a digital dossier feature to submit your profile to multiple landlords at once.
Are there relocation services that specialize in specific Swiss cities or regions?
Welcome Service focuses on Geneva, Lausanne, and Zurich, while Anchor Relocation serves Greater Zurich, Zug, and Central Switzerland. Schweizer Relocation covers Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Bern, and Lifestylemanagers operates as a boutique firm in Zug.
Do any of these services help with things beyond just finding an apartment?
All-in-One Swiss Relocation Services provides assistance with permits, registration, and school searches. Many relocation firms like Alliance Relocation also offer broader support to assist with the full relocation process.
