Crane Relocation GmbH

“Flawless Relocation Support in Zug – Highly Recommended! I cannot imagine how difficult our move to Zug (6300) would have been without Julia Kaufmann and Crane Relocation GmbH. Even if you speak High German, understanding Swiss German is a massive challenge. Julia bridged this gap flawlessly, communicating with everyone on our behalf and making the entire process stress-free. She found us the perfect apartment and guided us through every single step: city registration, SwissPass, bank accounts, utilities, and the final handover. Beyond her professional expertise, Julia was truly our "Schutzengel" (guardian angel). Her warmth and support made us feel completely welcome. If you are relocating, do yourself a huge favor and work with Julia!”

“Julia has been an incredible support throughout our relocation from Zurich to Zug. She truly made the entire experience feel manageable and reassuring. From apartment hunting and viewings to coordinating all the logistics of the move, and patiently answering our countless questions along the way, she is always there, readily available with clear advice, calm guidance and genuine care. We are very grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her services.”

“When moving to Switzerland in 2023, I would probably have been in trouble if it wasn’t for Frau Kaufmann, our relocation consultant. She helped with finding a property, going to viewings on our behalf prior to our arrival, our liaison between agencies and ourselves, and a whole host of other items.These items included: getting registered at the commune, setting up a bank account, setting up with a Swiss phone number, and the small details that may not be included in the relocation package, but the genuine want to help us (which was the best train subscription/best provider/best way to get furniture, etc). However, when all of this was sorted, she did not stop helping us. Fast forward two years, when we have to leave CH, and she advised us how best to pass on our lease, and again, was still the point of contact in order to get our deposit back. Without her and her company’s help, so many items would have fallen through the cracks. If you are an individual, or a business, this should be the first and only place you should seek in order to start your life in Switzerland on the right note.”

“Julia has accompanied us in our home search from across the ocean, and not only did she find us the perfect fit, she helped us tremendously with everything else as well! We would have been completely lost without her, and we were so lucky to have her on our side. I can't recommend her enough!”

“We have no words to express how grateful we are. Thanks to Julia, we found our dream apartment, and she also helped us overcome a very difficult situation with an unfair company. She is an absolute angel – everyone adores her because she combines a big heart, empathy, and outstanding professionalism. Her ability to create understanding and lead conversations left a deep impression on us. It is truly rare to meet someone who cares so much about people while being so effective in action. We truly hope to remain friends for a long time 🥹☺️”

“Nous avons eu la chance d'echanger avec Julia pour nous aider dans notre recherche d'appartement. Mon conjoint avait trouvé un projet immobilier neuf pour lequel nous avions été recus mais avec uniquement des projections 3D, sans moyen de trouver un contact direct pour visiter l'appartement. En un appel, Julia a pu nous trouver une visite a la journée 3 jours plus tard avant de signer pour verifier les rendus des appartements. Elle a été d'une efficacité extreme et d'une grande aide, je la recommanderai a tous ceux qui arrivent sur Zurich avec un besoin de chercher un appartement !!”

“We are incredibly blessed to have had Julia assist us throughout our relocation process. Her dedication and expertise made our transition seamless and stress-free. If you're considering hiring a relocation agent, I highly recommend Julia for her outstanding service and commitment to her clients. Before our arrival in Switzerland, Julia had already secured an apartment that perfectly matched our needs. On our first day, everything was set up: internet, bank accounts, and appointments for our driver's licenses and fingerprints were all arranged. Julia was always responsive to our questions, no matter how basic, and she consistently held herself accountable for her clients' needs, often going above and beyond her role. For instance, when our furniture was delivered ahead of schedule while we were still out of town, Julia took it upon herself to check the delivery and even placed name tags on our mailbox to prevent any future issues. Her genuine care for her clients is truly remarkable.”

“Julia Kaufmann helped us find our first flat in Horgen in 2021 and now found us an off-market flat in Zug. This time it took almost a year, but we are super happy with our new flat and with her services. After a few iterations, she knew exactly what we were looking for, and she only sent us flats that we liked, so hiring her saved us a lot of time and allowed us to find a place that we would not have been able to secure without her. We are not planning to move anytime soon, but if we do, we will definitely hire her again.”

“Extremely professional and exceptional grip on the RE market in Switzerland.”

“Although I am yet to relocate, Julia has provided me with excellent advice in preparation for a possible move. She is friendly, extremely professional and always quick to respond. Thank you, Julia!”

“Julia is a high touch thoughtful agent, she takes care to ensure families have a good landing space and works hard to find the perfect property where family can thrive even with the stress of relocation. I was happy for 5+ years and still going thanks to her help.”

“I highly recommend Crane Relocation to anyone looking for a soft landing in Switzerland or help securing a place of living. For us, Julia from Crane Relocation made the impossible, possible! Julia was positive, professional, creative and always available for us. We approached Julia with an unusual request, to rent an apartment remotely, so we do not need to live in a temporary apartment while searching for a permanent place in Zürich. Many people told us that this is not how things are done in Switzerland and that we have no chance of success. But Julia took the challenge and was able to secure the apartment of our dreams in time for our arrival. We actually didn't believe we could get this apartment, and even thought skipping it as many people were scheduled to come for the viewing, but Julia instilled confidence in us, pushed us to try, sprinted across the city so we don't miss other opportunities and worked relentlessly behind the scenes to make sure we get it. And we did :) Julia also performed miracles to help us with registration as we were missing some documents and generally held our hand as we were making our first steps in Switzerland. As people before me here said, in moving to Zürich, working with Crane Relocation is undoubtedly the best decision I've made :)”

“Working with Crane Relocation was one of the best decisions we made when moving to Switzerland. With the friendly and professional help from Julia we found our dream apartment for our family. Julia also helped us with all practical things such as registrations, drivers licenses, banking and various day to day tasks. This was a true success story. We can highly recommend others to hire Crane Relocation.”

“I had a pleasure to work with Crâne Relocation and cannot imagine a better support in searching for an apartment. Julia, who was helping me to find an apartment around Zurich and Zug had a very good knowledge of the market. She very quickly understood my needs and proposed tailored solutions. Personally Julia is a great, helpful, very professional and friendly person. It was a great pleasure to work with her.”

“Julia was recommended by many of my colleagues as an excellent relocation agent, and I can really attest to that. She is friendly, knowledgeable and really acts in the best interests of her clients. She was very helpful in coordinating our move to Zürich, providing useful pointers and recommendations along the way. For example, she negotiated with the landlord on our behalf after the viewing, which is very important, especially since we don't speak German and were unaware of the best way to secure an apartment in Switzerland. Given how competitive the rental market here, it's important to move fast and Julia made sure to follow up on our requests as soon as possible.”

“From the very beginning of our communication, Julia has gone above and beyond to help us find the best solutions for our international relocation, which all happened throughout a very short timeline. We were able to secure a beautiful home, within our preferred budget and commuting distance, within the first round of home visits. She has been very responsive to our needs, as well as helpful and informative with setting up bank accounts, phones, internet, registrations, etc. Cannot recommend Crane Relocation enough if you want a job done well, with the assistance of local experts.”

“Very professional and friendly advice from Julia Kaufmann. I Just can recommend! She is doing a great Job. Thanks a lot.”

“Consulting Julia was the best decision to find what we needed when we moved to Switzerland. She is professional, friendly and very helpful in every way. Thanks to her we found a house really quick and we got the house we wanted. She negotiated with our futur landlord and accompanied us to all set up appointments. Julia responded quickly to all our questions and gave us the time we needed. I can totally recommend her because she makes your life easier wile moving can be stressful. Thanks Julia for everything 😊”

“Julia was a great help in securing a rental apartment for me. She was very professional, attentive to my needs, and paid attention to details. She took the time to understand my situation and find an apartment that was perfect for me. She also helped me with the paperwork and made sure that everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a relocation agent.”

“Julia helped us relocate from Tel Aviv to Adliswil during the COVID pandemic (2021). Her help was priceless, the move was very smooth. A few highlights: + Very quick response to any question. + Greatly help to communicate with landlord and finalize the deal. We got the first apartment we applied for :-)”

“Julia and her team have exceeded our expectations during our relocation from London to Zurich/Zug. Her availability and readiness to answer our questions has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. Crane Relocation is well connected with a series of experts, which made our relocation into Switzerland seamless: from real estate, to bank accounts, and municipal proceedings. If you are new to the area and on a timeline to find housing and settle in, as many young families and expat professionals are, definitely consider using Crane Relocation expert services. Very reasonable prices for quality assistance and first class service.”

“Julia is a great agent who helps you with all the parts of the relocation process. Julia is friendly, competent, and exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Julia, we got a great apartment! Julia went through the documents with us, handled the communication with the rental agency, drew our attention to the parts of the process we haven't thought of, and generally helped us in every way possible. Thank you Julia, and if we decide to move again we hope to work with you on the relocation!”

“Julia was recommended to us by a previous consultant in the Geneva area. Given that her standards are superb, we knew that we were onto a sure thing with Julia! Julia was structured, organised and put us at ease despite planning our move from afar during a pandemic. She was efficient yet always empathetic, managing our expectations gently but candidly and responding to our ( many!) questions capably and patiently. We love the place she found for us and while we hope not to move again, we will certainly request Julia’s assistance should the need arise! With sincere thanks!”

“Relocating from China to Switzerland, at the beginning I had completely no idea how to rent an apartment in Zurich, especially remotely. I didn't know the procedure, couldn't view in person, didn't speak Swiss German, and couldn't tell if a room was good or bad... So blind and helpless... until a friend of mine recommended this agent to me and I got in touch with Julia! She helped me search for applicable rooms, view apartments to take videos and images, contact landlords, send applications, and a lot more! Besides, I really asked soooooo many questions, while she always answered them readily and helpfully! As a result, while all of my friends been to Switzerland had told me that at least two months were required to successfully rent a place, it only cost me less than THREE WEEKS before a quiet and lovely apartment was secured! I couldn't tell how frustrated and discouraged I would be without Julia's help, kindness, and professionality. To whom looking for a relocating agent in Switzerland, I sincerely recommend this one!”

“Julia helped us starting from day 1 when I land Zurich. I am extremely happy with her service and we found our apartment within one month. She did everything to help us, from searching apartment, view the apartment with us ,negotiate with the landlord to secure the apartment and helped us checking every single details in the apartment during handover. Highly recommend her, she makes the relocation much easier.”

“We utilized Julia and Crane relocation for our relocation from Mannheim Germany to Switzerland. I have been an ex-pat for six years and done three moves, and never have I had a relocation specialist as dedicated, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Julia was extremely flexible in working with me, both in working style as well as how she helped my family get settled. She went above and beyond as we experienced some issues with immigration and permitting, and worked tirelessly to get confirmations from the Kantons in which I was trying to switch my Visa. Furthermore, Julia was incredibly responsive in getting our viewings set-up for each flat, and in the Zurich area, this is a must as apartments tend to go very quickly. We were able to do remote viewings (due to my location in Germany and the Coronavirus pandemic ongoing), and she was extremely timely in getting appointments to get us the most options possible. Lastly, she never shied away from acting as a resource, from getting recommendations for local handyworkers to assisting with helping my daughter enroll in school, to calling the gemeinde to explain my specific situation on my behalf. All in all, I have never worked with someone better than Julia. As my company paid the cost of the services, I'm not privy to the charges, but regardless of what they were -- if I were asked to pay any amount of money from my own pocket to have her level of service, I would gladly do it again. Thank you Julia for absolutely everything you did for my family.”
