“Wir befinden uns aktuell noch in der Planungs- und Orientierungsphase unseres möglichen Umzugs nach Zürich und wurden von SwissNest Relocation bereits sehr kompetent und persönlich beraten. Besonders hilfreich war die umfassende Einschätzung des Zürcher Immobilienmarkts und die Frage, welches Budget für unsere Vorstellungen realistisch ist. Auch unsere persönliche Situation mit Hund wurde von Anfang an berücksichtigt. Die Beratung geht dabei weit über die klassische Wohnungssuche hinaus: Wir konnten uns bereits zu verschiedenen Wohnlagen, Schulen, Mobilität und dem Einleben in Zürich informieren sowie zu Fragen rund um Mutterschaft und Vaterschaft. Auch das Thema Gewerbeimmobilien wurde mitgedacht, insbesondere die mögliche Miete oder der Kauf einer Praxis. Wir schätzen sehr, dass SwissNest uns bereits in dieser frühen Phase dabei hilft, die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten realistisch einzuschätzen und die nächsten Schritte zu planen. Die Beratung ist individuell, fundiert und wirklich auf unsere persönliche Situation zugeschnitten. Auch wenn unser Umzug noch bevorsteht, haben wir durch die bisherige Beratung bereits ein viel klareres Bild davon, was uns in Zürich erwartet. Eine sehr gute Anlaufstelle für alle, die einen Umzug nach Zürich planen und sich frühzeitig professionell orientieren möchten.”

“Wir haben als Familie aus Deutschland überlegt, in die Schweiz umzuziehen und SwissNest Relocation zunächst für eine Budget- und Gehaltsberatung kontaktiert. Schon beim ersten Gespräch haben sich Andy und Anna sehr viel Zeit genommen und alle unsere Fragen ausführlich beantwortet. Besonders hilfreich war für uns die realistische Einschätzung der Lebenshaltungskosten in der Schweiz. Gemeinsam haben wir verschiedene Szenarien zu Miete, Krankenkasse, Steuern, Kinderbetreuung, Familienbudget und Gehalt durchgerechnet. Sogar unsere eigene Budgetplanung wurde mehrfach überprüft und mit vielen praktischen Hinweisen ergänzt. Es ging darum, eine ehrliche Einschätzung zu bekommen, ob ein Umzug in die Schweiz für unsere Familie überhaupt sinnvoll und finanziell realistisch ist. Genau diese Transparenz und die persönliche Erfahrung von Andy und Anna haben für mich den Unterschied gemacht. Wer einen Umzug in die Schweiz plant und Unterstützung bei Themen wie Relocation, Wohnungssuche, Lebenshaltungskosten, Gehaltsverhandlung oder der finanziellen Planung sucht, ist bei SwissNest Relocation bestens aufgehoben. Vielen Dank für die kompetente, persönliche und engagierte Beratung. Ich kann Andy und Anna von Herzen weiterempfehlen.”

“Ich habe SwissNest Relocation im Rahmen meiner Planung für einen möglichen Umzug von Deutschland nach Zürich kennengelernt und war besonders von der persönlichen und umfassenden Beratung begeistert. Als Familie mit zwei Kindern waren für uns viele Fragen wichtig, die weit über die reine Wohnungssuche hinausgehen. Wir wollten zunächst verstehen, welche Wohngegenden in Zürich zu unserem Familienalltag passen, wie sich die verschiedenen Stadtteile unterscheiden und mit welchen Wohn- und Lebenshaltungskosten wir tatsächlich rechnen müssen. Genau diese Orientierung hat uns SwissNest sehr verständlich und praxisnah vermittelt. Besonders hilfreich war der Vergleich mit unserer bisherigen Situation in Berlin. Themen wie Schulen, Kinderbetreuung, Freizeitmöglichkeiten, Ferien, Wege im Alltag und die Organisation des Familienlebens wurden genauso berücksichtigt wie unsere beruflichen Pläne und die Möglichkeit, uns in Zürich selbstständig zu machen. Wir hatten dadurch schnell das Gefühl, ein viel realistischeres Bild vom Leben in Zürich zu bekommen. Auch Fragen zum Immobilienmarkt und zu möglichen Gewerberäumlichkeiten konnten wir bereits in dieser frühen Phase besprechen. Was wir besonders schätzen, ist, dass SwissNest nicht einfach versucht, möglichst schnell eine Wohnung zu vermitteln. Stattdessen wurde zunächst unsere gesamte Lebenssituation betrachtet und gemeinsam überlegt, welche Lösung langfristig zu unserer Familie passen könnte. Gerade wenn man mit Kindern aus Deutschland in die Schweiz ziehen möchte und noch ganz am Anfang der Planung steht, ist diese Orientierung unglaublich wertvoll. Wir fühlen uns durch die Beratung sehr gut vorbereitet und haben jetzt eine deutlich klarere Vorstellung davon, wie unser Alltag in Zürich aussehen könnte.”

“I had a very positive experience working with Andy during my apartment search. Since I was relocating from Geneva to the Baden area, managing the apartment search remotely would have been quite challenging. Andy was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He was always available, even outside normal working hours, and consistently responded quickly to my questions and requests. In particular, he attended an apartment viewing on my behalf, which was extremely helpful given the distance, and supported me through every step of the application process. He also assisted with the communication and coordination with the real estate agency, making the entire process much smoother and more efficient. Thanks to his support, I was able to find and sign a rental contract in a very short time. Andy was always kind, professional, reliable, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right apartment. I would definitely recommend Andy to anyone looking for professional support with their relocation and apartment search in Zurich and Baden areas.”

“We worked with Swissnest relocation as we were moving from France to Zurich with 3 kids. We can highly recommend them! Anna and Andy were a great support to us from day 1 to the day after we moved in. They answered quickly to our questions, gave a lot of practical advice and Zurich insider tips (not only about housing but also family related topics, administrative etc). They took the time to understand our needs as a family and they helped us find a great flat which ticked many of our boxes only after a few weeks of flat hunting (kindergarden, school, distance to work and train station, social connections, urban but not too urban :) ) Thanks to them, what we had seen as a stressful moment in our life was a lot less stressful. A highly professional and very nice team which we can highly recommend !”

“If you're trying to decide whether to rent or buy a home in Zurich, I highly recommend Anna and SwissNest Relocation. Anna helped me understand the entire property buying process in Switzerland and gave me realistic guidance on Zurich property prices and what to expect in the current market. She shared practical viewing checklists, helped me assess whether asking prices were fair and advised me on upgrade packages, resale value, warranties and negotiation strategies with developers. Having someone who truly understands both the Zurich real estate market and the buying process gave me so much confidence. Throughout the entire journey, Anna was always available to answer my questions. She genuinely cared about helping me find the right property, not just any property, and even celebrated every milestone along the way. SwissNest is the right partner if you're relocating to Zurich or looking to buy a home. Their market knowledge, honesty and attention to detail are exceptional.”

“Great professionals, they really do their best to find suitable accommodation in the shortest possible time. Very patient, they are very accommodating to clients who don't know what they want and don't know the market. Communication is easy, the attitude is friendly, they help with everything you need for moving from abroad. Trust them!”

“Great experience with SwissNest Relocation. Moving to Switzerland involves a lot of paperwork and logistics, but they made the process much easier to navigate.

“From the beginning, the communication with SwissNest Relocation was very clear and reliable via WhatsApp and email which made everything much easier for us. They provided an orientation tour in Zurich city and around the lakeside neighborhoods which helped us understand the different neighborhoods and areas of Zurich. They also attended apartment viewings for us with video calls and detailed feedback and helped us find a very nice furnished apartment by the river in a central international area with great infrastructure. We also received a step by step relocation guide and many practical tips for settling in Zurich. SwissNest supported us with administrative processes, city registration, migration office documents, health insurance, banking and many practical matters. They also helped us with school recommendations and other important topics for daily life in Switzerland. We especially appreciated their support with more complex topics such as diploma recognition. Everything is well organized and we feel in very good hands during the whole relocation process. We can definitely recommend SwissNest Relocation to anyone moving to Zurich and looking for professional and trustworthy support.”

“Die Gründer Anna und Andy haben uns bei unserer kurzfristigen Wohnungssuche im Raum Zürich sehr engagiert und professionell unterstützt. Besonders geschätzt haben wir die schnelle Reaktion, die klare Struktur im Prozess und die sehr pragmatische, persönliche Herangehensweise. Man merkt, dass sie den Markt gut kennen, mitdenken und ihre Kunden nicht einfach standardisiert begleiten, sondern wirklich individuell unterstützen. Auch über die reine Wohnungssuche hinaus haben wir hilfreiche Hinweise zum Ankommen in der Schweiz erhalten. Die Kommunikation war sehr angenehm, unkompliziert und verbindlich. Wir haben uns sehr gut begleitet gefühlt und würden SwissNest Relocation jederzeit weiterempfehlen!!”
