Prime Relocation AG

Prime Relocation AG is based at Industriestrasse 47 in Zug and operates across Switzerland with dedicated regional offices in Zurich, Zug, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, and Lucerne. The firm also covers Liechtenstein. The company frames its work as "Professional relocation services in Switzerland. Let us guide you through every step of your journey to make Switzerland feel like home from day one." The firm says it has 20+ years in business, has successfully relocated 2000+ clients, and maintains a 99% client satisfaction rate.

Services and breadth

Prime Relocation AG's core services span the major domains of relocating. Home search includes market analysis, property viewings, application support and negotiation. Immigration assistance covers visa applications, document preparation, legal compliance and timeline management, typically requiring 2 to 6 months. Orientation tours are personalized local tours covering neighborhoods and essential services, generally taking 1 to 2 days. Temporary accommodation is offered as furnished apartments, flexible terms at prime locations with full service, typically for 1 to 3 months. Schooling assistance comprises school research, application support, language programs and cultural integration, usually taking 2 to 4 months. Settling-in services handle registration, banking setup, insurance and admin tasks for the first 2 to 4 weeks after arrival. The firm also markets corporate relocation programs, which promise end-to-end service from visa to housing to family support for international employee relocations.

The site lists a team that includes Kati Kägi as Managing Owner, Alendona Asani as Operations Manager, and consultants named Julie and Nathalie, though the firm says visitors can "Meet Full Team" on request. Client testimonials on the page include one from Christine Hui saying the firm "secured our ideal apartment in Zug before arriving," and another from someone signing as Liesel Goveas praising a consultant named Julie for making an apartment search "smooth and efficient."

Digital tools and consultations

Prime Relocation markets both human consultation and an AI-powered platform called PrimeAI. The AI assistant is described as available 24/7, offering instant responses and personalized recommendations in English, German and French. A sample interaction shown on the site asks "What documents do I need for a Swiss work permit?" and the AI responds with a checklist: "valid passport, employment contract, proof of qualification, completed application form (canton-specific), and proof of health insurance. Your employer typically initiates the process..." The firm notes that "PrimeAI provides guidance only. Final review and compliance handled by our consultants."

Beyond PrimeAI, the firm offers an online platform called PrimeOnline, described as "your personal relocation dashboard." PrimeOnline offers real-time progress tracking, secure document storage, property advert storage and delivery, direct team communication, and what the firm calls "swipe through property suggestions tailored to your needs and provide instant feedback." The interface is positioned as an alternative to email chains and scattered documents.

The home search process is described as taking 4 to 8 weeks. For schools, the firm cites 2 to 4 months. For immigration assistance, it says 2 to 6 months is typical, and for settling-in services, 2 to 4 weeks.

What the site does and does not specify

Prime Relocation's regional focus is clear: Zurich, Zug, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Lucerne and Liechtenstein are explicitly named with dedicated service pages. The firm does not publish pricing for any service. No fee is stated for home search, immigration assistance, orientation, schooling help, settling-in or corporate programs. A reader cannot determine in advance what it costs to engage the firm for any specific task, or whether bundled services cost less than booking them individually. The site also does not break down what work is done by a consultant versus what is automated or template-based. PrimeAI is described as providing guidance, but how often a client escalates to a human consultant is not explained.

The firm does not state how it charges: flat fees, hourly rates, retainers, transaction-based commissions on housing, or some combination. It does not say what the company's minimum engagement is, whether it can serve clients moving to very small towns or rural cantons, or what happens if a client's relocation plan changes and they delay moving to Switzerland. The testimonials on the page are not dated, so readers have no sense of how recent they are.

Comparing services to scope

Prime Relocation positions itself as an end-to-end provider. The range of services (from work permits to schooling to corporate accounts) does match the range of tasks relocating families face. The 20+ year history and the 2000+ client count suggest scale and longevity; the 99% satisfaction claim is very high, though no underlying data or methodology is shared. The addition of PrimeAI and the PrimeOnline dashboard suggests the firm is attempting to modernize, reducing the friction of constant email and phone calls by centralizing documents and progress tracking.

What is less clear is the quality of service across all domains. A firm that is excellent at home search may be average at schooling help; a firm strong with German-speaking professionals may be weaker with other populations. The sample AI response about work permit documents reads as accurate, but PrimeAI was stated to be guidance-only and requiring consultant review anyway. The existence of consultants named Julie and Nathalie does not tell readers whether they are available, whether other team members are available, or how many people work for the firm overall. The "Meet Full Team" prompt on the site suggests that detailed bios are available elsewhere, but readers must contact the firm to see them.

Home-search methodology

The firm says it takes time to "carefully select properties that perfectly match your needs, preferences, and criteria" and offers both accompanied viewings and remote virtual tours. The firm also says it will "prepare your application file to maximize your chances and stay by your side until the final lease is signed." This suggests a hands-on approach: the firm is not just sending listings, but screening properties, attending viewings on the client's behalf, and managing the landlord negotiations. Whether that premium attention is available for all client budgets, or whether it applies only to high-end properties or corporate clients, is not stated.

Who this firm serves

Prime Relocation is designed for families and professionals moving to Switzerland's six largest job and residential centers. The mention of corporate relocation programs suggests a particular focus on international companies with multiple moves in the pipeline. The 20+ year history and 2000+ client count are evidence the firm has reach, though the firm does not disclose whether this count represents market dominance or steady baseline business.

The firm may be strongest for moves to Zurich or Zug, where the company's offices are based, and somewhat less obvious as a choice for a move to Lausanne or Lucerne, where it may maintain smaller local teams. For relocations to very small towns, or for clients on extremely tight budgets, or for anyone needing service in a language outside English, German and French, the firm is not a fit. The absence of pricing makes it hard to compare against competitors; any relocation service calling 20+ years and 2000+ clients and 99% satisfaction is likely to be solid, but also likely to be a premium choice.
