The Challenge

Local Knowledge, Real Results.

In Geneva, Zurich, and Zug, finding the right home requires more than browsing portals.

It requires deep local knowledge and trusted relationships built over decades. For over 35 years, Welcome Service has collaborated with Switzerland's real estate actors — agencies, property managers, and private owners — to find homes that truly match our clients' needs. We do not just search; we activate a multi-generational network of real estate professionals to find a home that fits your family, your commute, and your lifestyle.

Your Journey

How It Works.

1

We understand your needs.

We discuss your specific criteria — size, budget, school proximity, commute, lifestyle — to understand what matters most to you.

2

We search and shortlist.

We tap into our local network and the open market to find properties that genuinely match what you described, including options not yet listed online.

3

We visit together.

We organise viewings around your schedule, accompany you on-site, and give you an honest read on each property — pros, cons, and trade-offs.

4

We secure the home.

We prepare a strong rental dossier, handle the negotiation, and walk you through the contract so nothing is left to chance.

5

We hand over the keys.

Inventory check, utility setup, and a welcome on move-in day — we stay alongside you until you're settled.

Questions & Answers

Common Questions.

Why is it so difficult to find properties in Geneva and Zurich? +

Vacancy rates in Swiss cities are often below 1%. Many desirable properties move through personal networks before reaching public portals. Without a local 'vouch', accessing these properties is very difficult.

How does your local network give clients an advantage? +

Many properties in Switzerland are filled through personal networks and direct relationships with agencies, before they appear on public portals. Our 35+ years of collaboration with Swiss real estate actors gives our clients early and broad access.

How does your relationship with Swiss real estate companies help? +

After 30 years, the 'Régies' know that a Welcome Service client is serious and qualified. This trust gives our clients an immediate advantage.
