"Caroline and Angelique did an absolute fantastic job. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to live in Zurich! Communication was fluid and they took care of all the paperwork. Even with all my prerequisites, they found my new home. 10/10!"
Read on Google"We couldn't recommend Silver Nest enough! Caroline worked miracles in an massively competitive market and found us our perfect home! She gave consistent and clear communication throughout so we felt very comfortable!"
Read on Google"Using Silver Nest was worth the investment. Our family of 4 moved from the USA to Zurich and Caroline Kauffman very capably handled the most complex aspects of our move including finding permanent housing straight away, schools for our children, internet access at our flat prior to arrival and immigration administration. Caroline was very organized and consistently responsive either by WhatsApp, call or email. Her services really were worth every penny of the expense and I would recommend her to anyone relocating to the Zurich area."
Read on Google"We moved last month from Germany to Switzerland and had the best experience ever with Silver Nest Relocation. Caroline and her team are super professional, friendly and helpful. Their service goes way beyond the usual moving companies’ assistance thanks to their impeccable understanding of what it means for a family when settling into a new country. Highly recommend Silver Nest for any expatriate relocation to Switzerland!"
Read on Google"Caroline and the team at Silver Nest went above and beyond to help us navigate the notoriously difficult Zurich apartment market, and find, get, and settle into an apartment we absolutely love. She took our specific needs and requests into account, advised us on options, and pulled out all the stops to help us secure our top pick apartments. We couldn’t have done this without her and the team!"
Read on Google"Highly recommend their services to anyone searching for a house in Zurich. I managed to find a place thanks to Caroline in a short amount of time. She was with me during the take-over and follow up on the house-related matters even after the take-over. She answered all my newbie questions about housing in Zurich and even applied for several options when I let her know on very short notice :) She is very kind, patient, and very responsive. She is as competitive as the Zurich housing market :) So definitely recommend them!"
Read on Google"Ms. Caroline Kaufmann helped my family twice to find apartment during the whole process, she is friendly and warm heart, considered all the service details for us , and really high efficient to get connections with the potential apartments. For the second time when we contacted with her again, she did an urgent help and support for us , without her, we never could be successful to get the offer. We will also recommend her to anyone who would move to Switzerland or when you want to change apartment within Switzerland.😊"
Read on Google"Moving to Zürich before Christmas felt a bit ambitious, but we managed to do it thanks to Caroline. It was very easy to communicate with her, and everything worked out extremely smooth. We recommend working with her as a person and as a professional. Thank you so much, Caroline!"
Read on Google"Super good service, very attentive to detail and got us exactly what we need. My sincere recomendation."
"We relocated to Zurich from another country with zero knowledge of German. We contacted Silver Nest and got the quotes very quickly. There are different packages depending on your needs. The information is very clear and straightforward. Caroline helped us find a brand new apartment, and handled all the talking with the landlord. We eventually signed the contract well before the moving date. Caroline arranged and met us at the key-handover meeting with the landlord on the first date we arrived Zurich. She also provided us all the important information about the apartment, as well as daily life in Zurich. This helped tremendously during our move and gave us a smooth start in Switzerland (e.g every paperwork, like bank, gov. registration, mobile, school, work,... will require a Swiss address. So having a permanent address at the beginning reduced the overhead a lot). We are really happy with the service and strongly recommend working with Caroline when moving to Zurich. Thank you so much Caroline!"
"After looking for an apartment for months on our own, and without success, we hired Caroline at Silver Nest to help us find an apartment for our family. She was highly responsive and knowledgeable. She helped us apply to many apartments and ultimately secured an apartment for us in our desired location. We are very grateful for her assistance and kindness!"
"Caroline helped us enormously when relocating from the UK to Zurich. Helping us find a brilliant apartment and taking us through all the relevant paperwork to secure it as well as sorting all the initial requirements for us including insurance. The service was invaluable for us and made our relocation smooth and stress free, it is a brilliant help for new residents in Switzerland like us! No question was too much for Caroline and she was always fast in her responses. Such a worthwhile investment and I would highly reccommend!"
"Caroline made my transfer to Zürich as smooth as possible by helping me find an apartment aligned with my requests. When I contacted her, she was going to go on vacation for a few days but nonetheless she managed to provide me a list of apartments to visit and supported me while she was on vacation. This allowed me to sign the contract for the apartment I wanted thanks to her support from the other side of the world. Caroline is really professional and friendly, knows how to move on the housing market and can answer any questions you have about moving to Switzerland (from bureaucracy to which utility providers to use, etc..)."
"We had to organize a move from NYC to Zurich in the midst of travel restrictions due to COVID and had to handle everything remotely. I'm so glad I found Silver Nest and Caroline to assist us in this process. Caroline spent time with us on the phone to understand who we were and what we were looking for. Having lived in different countries, Caroline can relate to the questions one can have when relocating and her advice on neighborhood and aspects of the day to day life were invaluable. Caroline went and visited places on our behalf and sent back detailed videos, pictures and description. She found us a wonderful apartment within a week and we were able to move in in a matters of days after arriving to Zurich. She walked us through all the documents required to apply and helped a lot the communication with both the previous renter and the owner. To top it all, Caroline offers all of this with patience and friendliness. I can't recommend her enough."
"Silver Nest Relocation in Zurich has been the absolute best at assisting me in finding an apartment. Not only did I need one in a very short amount of time, I had very specific requirements and location preferences. Without the help of Silver Nest I would have never been able to find one in such a short amount of time, let alone my dream apartment. They saved me an enormous amount of time. They were very quick in responding and handled everything from the viewing of apartments to all small admin tasks. Overall would recommend this 100% to anyone looking for a home here in Zurich."
"Caroline provided us tremendous amount of support during our relocation to Switzerland starting from apartment search which she kicked off even before we came (and by all means was not easy!) through handling rental agreement, handover, legal registration, insurances and all other kinds support which is essentially required. We also received broad overview of how to maintain daily life and few very useful contacts for the future. Thanks to her we took great deal of pressure off our shoulders and were able to concentrate mostly on our new jobs. I can definitely recommend Silver Nest services to anyone who considers moving to Switzerland and want to have a smooth relocation"
"I have moved four times before, but this has been the best apartment hunting experience! Caroline helped us find an apartment of our dreams in a short time and has been most helpful with all other matters relating to relocation. Highly professional, responsive and friendly I couldn't recommend her highly enough, she is the best agent in Zurich!"
"We have been very pleased with the services provided by Silver Nest, in particular its director Caroline Kaufmann. Caroline is very professional, knows how to navigate the Swiss real estate market and its processes, and is very easy to communicate with. Caroline was instrumental in helping us find an apartment in Zurich while we were still in the USA. I highly recommend her and her services."
"Caroline did a great job finding us an apartment in Zurich. Responsive, professional, and efficient - she found an excellent apt in our first-choice area within a week & is very helpful with the move extras i.e. registered our child in the school, found apt insurance etc. Would highly recommend Caroline!"
"I had to relocate to Zurich in short time. Caroline gave me invaluable help in finding an house quite quickly, and it was also a good bargain. What I obtained this way, is simply not comparable to what I could have found myself: not for timing, not for characteristics, not for rental price. I could see real professional ability here. So the service costs money but it's worth it because in this way, it pays back by itself. I'm happy I've chosen this agency."
"We were clients of Silver Nest for our relocation from London, UK, to Zurich, Switzerland in the summer of 2022. In one short sentence: we couldnt rank Silver Nest and Caroline Kaufmann highly enough. Our move was not straight forward as we were self employed and needed to set up our business in Zurich while moving. It is quite complex to figure out the Swiss immigratio and legal system and the property market in particular is very tight around Lake Zurich. This means that foreigners looking to rent wihtout a set-up in Switzerland are - generally speaking - quite disadvantaged. With help from Silver Nest: not us!! Caroline was super helpful and accomodative in helping us with immigration and finding a rental property. It only took a few weeks for us to sign a rental contract in a lovely apartment in Zurich. Caroline viewed and evaluated the property for us, helped with arranging and negotiating the rental contract and guided us extremely well through the process. The entire exercise felt very friendly and natural and above all highly professional. Caroline was also extremely generous with her time throughout the planning process. There were some delays on our sude and we had to postpone the move originally. Caroline was extremely commercial and pragmatic and just to the point professional. It felt like the move was always 100% under control. My wife and I would most highly recommend Silver Nest to anyone moving to Switzerland. Superb service!"
"Caroline helped me find an affordable and nice apartment located close to my university when I was moving to Switzerland for studies. She accomplished this in a short time and was very helpful. I sincerely recommend Silver Nest Relocation to anyone moving to Zürich or the nearby area."
"My family worked with Caroline over the spring and summer to help find an apartment and settle in to the Zurich area. Coming from the U.S. with two young children this was no easy task, and we are incredibly grateful for Caroline's support, patience and her help with questions both big and small regarding the move. Caroline is very knowledgeable about the local rental and real estate markets, often knows other agents (which is helpful!) and does a wonderful job of steering you in the right direction without being pushy. After helping us to secure a wonderful townhouse in Meilen, she equally helped us navigate all of the particular Swiss registrations, bank accounts, schools, etc. I should say the way things work is quite different than the U.S. and so it was really important to have Caroline's help. I would (and have) absolutely recommend to anyone coming to Zurich from abroad engage Caroline to ensure the smoothest possible process!"
"Moving within Switzerland might sound easy. But not with two Little kids and both parents working full time. Thanks to Caroline, who supported us with her exceptionally professional, trustworthy and fast support, we were able to move into our new house without having any delays, complicated paper work or stress. We can highly recommend SilverNest Relocation and would like to thank again for this unique service which has been provided to us!"
"I contacted Silver Nest to help me with a relocation to Zürich and Caroline has been extremely efficient at finding an apartment! This is the forth time I relocate to another city/country, usually it's quite some stress, but this time I had the smoothest experience, thank you!"
"They are very supportive on apartment search with a lot of suggestion. They helped our relocation to Switderland so we are very happy about their service."
"Caroline was instrumental in both preparing for my move to Zurich from the US, and especially in managing the search for a flat. She managed to make the process so much less stressful, and was patient with me in learning the neighborhoods as well. I could not have asked for a better way to get settled in a new country."
"Caroline is an expert in her field. The Zürich housing market is very difficult but she is able to navigate it. If you want to find your dream home fast, then Caroline is the right person."
"Silver Nest helped us (me and my wife) with relocation from France to Switzerland. Our experience turned out to be superb thanks to the professionalism offered and excellent contact with the company. Silver Nest found a great apartment for us and helped with all initial arrangements such as apartment takeover, moving in (e.g. installing lights), insurances etc. It was truly a remarkable help for newcomers to Switzerland and Zurich. We can easily recommend Silver Nest to anyone seeking relocation help."
"Silver Nest, and Caroline specifically, supported my family of 5 in both our move to Switzerland 3 years ago and our very recent return to the USA. Caroline’s service, advice and “know how” was world class and we could not have done it without her! If you are looking for relocation support, look no further. Silver Nest can support all your needs."
"Silver Nest Relocation is legit and good relocation agency in Zurich. I worked with Caroline to find my rental apartment. It was easy to communicate with her and all my questions have been answered!"
"I really recommend using this company for the apartment hunt. The communication with Caroline, our agent, was fast, smooth and clear. We had whatsapp group where we could ask at anytime anything related to the search process and moving itself. We had quite strict requirements about the location and type of the apartment, so we were searching over homegate and other portals on our own and Caroline fought very hard and successfully to organise the viewings and in the end she delivered us with the apartment we wanted most despite the corona crisis and other people also being quite interested in this apartment ;-) We simply loved the whole experience. Don't hesitate and use this company! P.S. ask for Caroline ;-)"
"I needed assistance with navigating an apartment handover. Caroline provided excellent help with translation, communication, and explaining the process. She also managed the property manager to agree to various renovations, so now I have a much nicer apartment. I'm extremely glad that I got her assistance with this."
"We have had the most amazing experience with silver nest. We got fantastic service, and all our demands were met with great urgency. Family of 5 from UK, no stress, move with ease. Everything taken care of. Thank you so much!! Best decision we made with using this company."
"Excellent service from beginning to end. Very efficient and helpful. Takes the stress out of moving. Knows how to navigate the Swiss bureaucracy and finds solutions to any quirky request. Great communication, upbeat and friendly."
"I strongely recommend Silver Nest Relocation; Caroline made a great job to find THE flat I wanted. Professionnal, easy going & friendly !"
"I have been very satisfied with their service: all the apartements I have been presented were very nice and compatible with my requirements. I have been able to find one and sign the contract in a very short time. Along the process, all my questions have been answered right away. I have absolutely nothing I can complain about: an easy five out of five"
"A fabulous experience - would absolutely recommend Silver Nest for your relocation help. I had an incredibly tight timeline and they were able to deliver more than promised."
"Very happy with Caroline's help. She organised all the major topics and was extreemly helpful. I can strongly recommend her."

"Very professional and we highly recommend. Our experience was extremely positive at every interaction."
"It is good and clean"
"Highly recommended for your relocation!"
"Super service. Can highly recommend."
"Can't recommend them enough! Caroline and Angelique did a fantastic job in finding me a new home in Zurich while I was living and working in another country, not yet in possession of a Swiss resident permit and very unfamiliar with the Zurich housing market. The whole process took about 3 weeks, and they managed to secure me a nice apartment just after a single round of in-person viewings, which resulted in 2 lease offers out of 3 applications. I'm sure that if I were less constrained by my full-time job in a different country, the process would have been even faster. During the whole process, the communication was very clear and they kindly answered all my questions, either via WhatsApp or E-mail. During the accompanied viewings they spoke with the owners/tenants on my behalf (I'm not able to speak the local language yet), properly advised me on many aspects, and took care of all the paperwork."
"Caroline und Angelique waren super freundlich, kompetent, und eine riesige Hilfe! Kann ich nur empfehlen! Herzlichen Dank!"
"Ich habe Frau Kaufmann mit der Vermietung meines kleinen Hauses in Zürich beauftragt. Mit Ihrer charmanten, kompetenten, seriösen und freundlicher Art hat Sie für mich die idealen Mieter gefunden und alles organisert und vorbereitet, so dass ich nur noch den Mietvertrag unterschreiben musste. Mit grosser Dankbarkeit - Lukas Erne"
"Herzlichen Dank für die super Zusammenarbeit!"

"Caroline helped us find an apartment in time in the competitive market of Zurich. She also joined us on our move in day to look at the apartment herself and make sure everything was ok. Since we didn’t speak any German she was a great help when talking to the owners and signing documents. Would definitely recommend anyone relocating to Zurich to consider Silver Nest .. it will only make your move easy 😊"
