“My experience with Anchor was excellent. Mari was super helpful in all the initial administration, and in the search of our accommodation. You could tell she had a lot of experience in dealing with home owners and rental agencies. And even in our case, the apartment we found, we could not visit because we were abroad, and she went by herself on a Saturday to visit and apply for us. Very professional and resourceful. I truly recommend Anchor’s services!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Anchor Relocation. Sandra took care of everything and helped us find a very nice apartment in the neighborhood we were looking for. She was extremely responsive and always agreeable. She was able to reassure us throughout the whole process when dealing with the administrative tasks and negotiation aspects of the rental agreement. As we were based in Paris, we weren't able to do the visits in-person, hence very helpful to have Sandra make the visits on our behalf. Highly recommend Anchor if you're looking for a place to rent in Zurich and you're abroad :)”

“I would like to sincerely thank Sandra for her incredible support during my relocation to Zürich. She took care of everything, from administrative tasks to finding an apartment, and guided me through every step of the process. She was always present, supportive, and reassuring, which made a huge difference during such an important transition. Beyond her strong professional skills, Sandra has outstanding human qualities — attentive, kind, and genuinely caring. Her presence and guidance were extremely helpful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better relocation agent. I highly recommend.”

“Anchor Relocation hat meinen Umzug in die Schweiz begleitet und die Betreuung war wirklich sehr gut. Die Unterstützung reichte von der Vermittlung einer Wohnung, bis hin zu Support beim Abschluss eines Internet-Vertrages (u.v.m.). Es war außerdem nicht immer notwendig vor Ort zu sein, da mein Kontakt Susanne Chapuis die Dinge immer zu meiner vollsten Zufriedenheit in der Schweiz geregelt hat. Daher kann ich dieses Unternehmen und Susanne Chapuis bei einer Relocation mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen.”

“We had an excellent experience working with Anchor during our home search in Zurich. From the very beginning, the support and professionalism we received were exceptional. Annietta, Doris and Corina guided us through every step of the process with great care, efficiency, and kindness, making everything smooth and stress-free. Thanks to their dedication, we found the perfect apartment for us, and even the registration process went seamlessly. We are deeply grateful for their outstanding service and highly recommend Anchor to anyone looking for a home in Zurich.”

“Charlotte helped my wife and I relocate to Zurich from Chicago. Not only was she prepared and on time for every meeting with the government officials, she came ready to all apartment viewings with the required paperwork and attitude to help us be successful in every application we submitted (very rare for zurich). She also went above and beyond to show us around Zurich and make sure we were comfortable with the city. Could not recommend her and Anchor Relocation more!”

“Anchor Relocation Services were a lifesaver. Charlotte Zenhäusern not only secured my dream apartment the very same day I viewed it, but also guided me through registering in the canton and shared countless recommendations both in and outside the city. Her support made settling into a new, unfamiliar country feel far more comfortable—not just logistically, but also thanks to her friendly presence. I truly couldn’t have done it without her!”

“I recently moved to Switzerland and had the opportunity to work with Charlotte Zenhäusern at Anchor Relocation. Charlotte ensured a seamless transition by providing comprehensive support throughout each stage of the immigration and relocation process, which was greatly appreciated. Anchor demonstrated professionalism and competence in managing all aspects of my move, ensuring that each detail was handled diligently. Relocating can be challenging, but my experience with Anchor Relocation was extremely positive, as they made this process efficient and stress-free. 100% recommended!!”

“At the end of January, my wife and I moved from Portugal to Zug, Switzerland. To make the move a smooth process, we relied on the support of ANCHOR RELOCATION. They helped us immensely with all the issues that arose along the way. They took care of our registration with the commune, work permits, visits to apartments for rent, registering our dog :) etc, etc... Our special thanks go to Anna Supruniuk, who helped us every step of the way! A great professional, communicative and very willing to help!”

“A big Thank you to Susanne Chapuis from Anchor Relo for her excellent relocation services here in Zürich. Susanne helped us with all aspects, from getting a serviced Appartment, to registration with municipalities, to getting public transport passed, phone contract, insurances, bank account and most of all, permanent housing. Everything was executed in a highly professional way, all interactions were very warm and friendly, she understood our requirements very well and was very pro-active and successful in finding our permanent home. Thanks again for such excellent service provided! Michel”

“My company has provided relocation services via Anchor Relocation to move from Europe to Zug. I got assigned an agent to help with finding a place to live, local consulting, all needed paperwork and moving, including the car. I couldn’t recommend it more, my agent Mari was super responsive, very fast, supportive and welcoming. She sent videos of the places and when I was in Switzerland took me to see the selected in person. Mari has helped with all the paperwork including acceptance to the local school. She was very helpful and answered many questions with patience and eagerness. Our move was planned during difficult Christmas/New Year timing, it would have been impossible on our own!”

“My wife and I received support from Anchor during our relocation to Switzerland in Jan 2024. Stephanie (the agent from Anchor assigned to support us) was simply great. Thanks to her support our relocation was smooth and easy. She took away from us all the burden of dealing with local regulations and paperworks. Also her support in scouting for a flat was extremely helpful. She was always professional and friendly, she gave us guidance on how to navigate the country, the city, the bureaucracy, the paperworks and much more. I didn't have any previous experience with a relocation agency, so I didn't know what to expect. Now, after this experience, I strongly recommend to all expats to invest in this service because it gives you the peace of mind that you are in good hands so you can focus your energies on getting used to a new life in a new country. Thank you Stephanie for your support, we appreciated it very much! All the best Stefano & Klara”

“We were nervous with all of the steps involved with our move from the USA to Zurich, but Anchor Relocation made it seamless and as stress free as possible! Stephanie (our amazing consultant) joined and guided us with our visa/city appointments, our bank and wifi accounts, our apartment search, and even with how to’s like recycling and transportation tips. We were especially worried about finding an apartment with Zurich’s very competitive market, but Stephanie helped us find a great temporary apartment, and then in less than 6 weeks found and we moved into the PERFECT long-term apartment for us. She frequently supplied us with listings, joined us on most visits, completed our applications (which are intense here), walked us through our contract, etc. Stephanie is very friendly, knowledgeable, great at identifying people’s specific wants/priorities, and really goes above & beyond. Even after the move, she helped us communicate with our building management for minor issues/needs. We are so thankful for Anchor Relocation - and especially for Stephanie!”

Dedicated person took care for me in all relevant aspects, like all the formalities, search for home (both temporary and permanent) and local practises.
