Practical Services

"My wife and I relocated just over 2 months ago. Relocation is a stressful endeavor no matter which way you slice it. However, Astrid and team made our relocation as smooth, friendly, efficient, and timely as one could ever ask for! We could not have done it without her, Marc, and the rest of her team. Expectations and deadlines were communicated clearly and effectively, from the beginning of our relocation process, to getting integrated into the city, to lastly getting settled down into our permanent apartment! It's been a whirlwind of changes the past few months but we could not be more thankful for the help of this great group!"

"We have worked with Astrid and Tanja since July and have had a truly wonderful experience. They helped us find the perfect place to settle our family and our dogs in Zürich. We had some specific and special request about the terms and location and Schweizer Relocation came through for us big time. Bringing a family of four from California comes with a lot of emotion and first time concerns about renting after having owned for so long. Astrid really put us at ease and helped us see the right properties. We would not hesitate to recommend Schweizer Relocation, whether you’re moving from across the ocean or from across Europe."

"I am very happy to have partner up with Schweizer Relocation. Rachel my consultant was on top of things, helping me to settle in my new journey in Switzerland. Rachel was supportive, proactive and always there for my silly questions. Highly recommend the service."

"I've had a very positive experience with Schweizer Relocation company when I moved to Zurich earlier this year. Thanks to them the whole process was very smooth and easy. Astrid is very professional, friendly and proactive. Apart from assitance with all the paperwork as well as providing useful information about various aspects of living here, I very much appraciated her support when I tested positive for covid just one day before a flat handover and helped to sort everything out on my behalf."

"I guess it was one of the most challenging period of my life.I just had a baby and I had a promotion to move to Zurich. As for sure, I wasn't aware of finding an apartment in Zurich to be such an impossible task and I only had 2 months.Fiona was my wake up call:) She gave insights about the local market how to approach and if you find something keeping it:) She helped me for passing the language barrier with all documentations and made visits with me.With her guidance and help now everyone that I have met is telling me how lucky I am,but It was not purely luck ,I just had some help from the right people."

"I would definitely recommend Schweizer Relocation for anyone who needs to find a permanent location in Zürich (single or family). It doesn’t matter if you think you’re ready to play by the “Zürich estate market rules”. You’re not. There are so many new rules or habits that for a non-Swiss it would be very very complicated find the right/perfect location (but also for the Swiss the game is tough). Fiona and Astrid have always supported us in all our requests and thanks to a specific section of their website it was possible to improve together the quality of the apartment research. And more, even once you succeeded on signing for the apartment you’re looking for, things are not finished yet. Fiona and Astrid were there for the last and important details. They provided us also with tons of informations related to the neighbourhood where our apartment is located, to the rules of Zürich and its burocracy. Thanks again, Schweizer Relocation!!! Stefano"

"Astrid & the Schweizer Relocation team did an exceptional job in helping my husband and I (and our dog) relocate from Chicago to Zurich. Astrid helped us every step of the way- from organizing our temporary housing to helping us find an amazing flat in Zurich. She helped answer all of our questions along the way- and even set up a trip to Ikea for us. Moving overseas can be stressful- but Astrid & her teammates (Marc & Fiona) made it as stress-free as possible! Big thank you to them!!"

"Provided us with superb and very professional service, we would not have been able to find an apartment in the Zurich area without Astrid's great help. Their online relocation portal is very user friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!"

"We moved to Zurich in the middle of the pandemic with two little kids. Schweizer relocation helped us enormously. Fiona took such a good care of us; she explained each step of the way and went back and forth to make sure everything was ready. She was extremely patient with all our questions, and responded to each email promptly. I cannot imagine how we could have done it without her. We were enjoying our new apartment in less than 6 weeks after our arrival!"

"Great experience with Schweizer Relocation! Fiona and the Team not only helped me finding an apartment in Zurich, but also clearly guided me through the whole Swiss administration processes. Definitively recommended"

"I have moved to Switzerland at the end of June (after the boarders opened) and I have very few time to search House and take my family on boarding before the school starting in August. But Fiona, from Schweizer Relocation, has supported me in the searching of an apartment at 100% corresponding to our request. She assisted me during the first visits and she has professionally supported me during all this process and we were able to finalize everything in less then 3 weeks. I was supported professionally also for all other questions like utilities registration and also when I have started living in the new Home she has managed all the communication with the House Agency. I was fully supported in all the relocation steps and I've never felt alone. Many thanks for your support in starting my new life experience in Switzerland!"

"Fiona provided me with superb and very professional service, I found an apartment in the Zurich area thanks to her great help only 20 days I landed Zürich. Their online relocation portal is very user friendly and helpful for knowing all the steps needed to live in Swiss. All the details where took in consideration. Views from my new apartment in attached picture."

"They provided a very professional and thoughtful service which helped us find great apartment in the City of Zürich. We have heard that It is difficult to find an apartment here since the supply is very limited. We are lucky to have Fiona who accompanied us to see each apartment that we came across or she found by using their tool (very helpful). We are in close contact when there was a new released apartment in the market. Fiona represented us to book a tour, communicate with the other party, explain the layout, prepare all the documents, walking us through before moving in, etc. Overall, I think we may not have this ideal apartment without her help. So I highly highly recommend their service."

"Lodge Relocation has helped me find an apartment in Zurich within only a few weeks. Before scheduling any viewings, their team would share a couple of links to the apartments before confirming that those are in-line with the conditions I was looking for, after which they would schedule an online viewing. They were prompt, responsive and open to answer any questions relating to the apartment search. Briefly before the apartment viewing, Arabella and Lee would show me the neighborhood in which the apartment is located, share any details on the public transportation and offer to record related items that I was interested in. All the apartments that I applied for were available for review on their online platform afterwards. After finding the apartment, they have been helpful enough in answering my emails about any questions related to the relocation, and I would recommend Lodge Relocation services to anyone looking to relocate to Zurich."

"Excellent service! We worked with Fiona to find our apartment in Zürich. She was extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to find our dream apartment very quickly. Fiona made a big effort to gather as much information as possible about the apartment and surroundings to make sure this would be a good fit for us. She also explained in detail all of the steps involved (contract, deposit, house rules, insurance, etc etc) and helped us with them. We completely recommend Schweizer Relocation!"

"It is quite difficult to find an apartment in Zürich. However, we found the apartment we were looking for thanks to them. So I highly recommend their service."

"Professional, diligent and friendly services. Tanja who helped me was really patient - beyond being very understanding with my many needs and requirements for my apartment search, she guided me through the many administrative and practical steps of moving to Zuerich, and took care of a lot of the details which I would have otherwise struggled with! Moving to Zuerich had been so seamless, easy and stress-free! Thank you Tanja and Schweiser RelocationI I would certainly recommend you to anyone who will be moving to Switzerland."

"I would like to sincerely thank Arabella for her support throughout my entire relocation journey, Lee for his support and help in the registration office, and to recommend Lodge service. Her assistance has always been accurate, professional, and prompt, delivered with great politeness and care. The whole experience has been remarkably smooth. Whether it was major topics such as housing, work permits, and health insurance, or smaller details like SIM cards and driver’s licenses, Arabella was always one step ahead — anticipating my needs and planning everything in advance. Her thoughtful support made it much easier for me to settle into the city, easing the burden and allowing me to experience life here in a freer and more relaxed way."

"Amazing service !! Arabella and Anita helped me navigate local administrative specificities, find an apartment, advise on lease contract terms, booked my residency appointment, handle my application and were physically there with me at the Stadthaus. Bank account opening as well, they even gave me tips on where to go, what to see in town. Its a real peace of mind, I would recommend them to anyone moving to Zurich from abroad !"

"Arabella and Lee were very helpful and prompt. They managed my relocation in a professional and organised manner, so that I could move into my new rental exactly when I needed. They assisted me with the entire relocation process while I was still in Bucharest, from the home search and preparing all the paperwork, to going together and registering me at the city hall and opening a bank account, and even handling the apartment reception on my behalf. They also provided practical advice such as phone and internet provider suggestions and answered various questions I had about the city and lifestyle in Zurich. They kept track of deadlines and sent me reminders, but also offered step-by-step guidance, making the process smooth and far less stressful. A key differentiator is that they took ownership of the application processes, compiling documents and applying on my behalf where possible, all these while consulting myself via emails. Their hands-on approach saved me a lot of time and ensured everything was done correctly. I recommend their services to anyone relocating to Zurich, especially if you're managing the move remotely. They made a complex process feel straightforward and we managed to find quickly a good apartment. Thanks a lot!😊"

"Lodge Relocation made our move to Zurich super smooth. They know the city very well and offer personalised advices and tips, which was invaluable when we arrived. They found us a perfect apartment and guided us through every step of the process, so overall very professional. Highly recommended"
