The Relocation Company GmbH

"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!"

"We were in a complete difficult situation facing an eviction by the owner that wanted to move in his real estate and thanks to Anchor and their efficient, competent and agile staff we managed to find a new place to live totally to our liking. Furthermore, they advised us in all possible details so we could smoothly walk through the transition knowing our rights. We can't thank them enough for their services."

"I was introduced to Anchor moving from London to Zurich. I had initial calls with anchor and they filled me in on the housing situation in Zurich and discussed necessary steps that needs to be taken. Anchor was extremely diligent in understanding my needs and I found a flat whilst still in London. Susanne was extremely helpful in letting me know what documents were needed upon arrival and she booked all the necessary appointments beforehand. She accompanied me to all the appointments and went above and beyond to welcome me to Switzerland. She gave me litany of useful tips and recommendations and personally helped me move from my temporary flat to my permanent one. She was pivotal to my relocation and without her my move would not have been possible. Would recommend anchor services fully."

"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!"

"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 supported very well from the beginning of the house search until the end when we settled into our new apartment in Zurich. The anchor team is responsive by email, call, or chat. Overall, we're satisfied and recommend their service!"

"I was relocating to Switzerland and thanks to Ancor it was very easy. Dedicated person took care for me in all relevant aspects, like all the formalities, search for home (both temporary and permanent) and local practises. The help was very professional but not at all stiff. It was very personal and adjusted to my needs. Highly recommend! Thank you!"

"We are so thankful to have worked with Susanne and the Anchor Relocation services. We are quite positive we would have been lost without her help. She was attentive, informative and so kind to us during this transition. We highly, highly recommend her and this company."

"Our move from Australia to Zurich felt like a mammoth task, with 5 of us and 2 large dogs. Stephanie Gautier made it feel seamless and that anything was possible. First we had a video call so we could be on the same page, and that she could understand our needs, wants and, "would likes". We had a choice of 3 places, where they all said yes to us... I'm sure I can put it down to her professionalism, charm and enthusiasm. Nothing was too much trouble. I remember her responding to a whatapp voice note when she was away on holiday! Thank you. We are very happy."

"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."

"Ich habe bereits zwei Mal sehr gut mit Anchor Relocation Services zusammen gearbeitet. Beide Male hat mir Anchor kompetent und schnell geholfen eine neue Wohnung zu finden. Der gesamte Prozess war sehr angenehm und von hoher Kompetenz geprägt. Sollte ich ein drittes Mal eine Wohnung suchen, werde ich definitiv Anchor erneut beauftragen."

"Ich habe von Anchor Relocation Services sehr gute Unterstützung erhalten. Das Team war äußerst professionell, absolut freundlich und hilfsbereit. Jede Frage wurde schnell und kompetent beantwortet, und ich habe mich während des gesamten Prozesses bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Ich kann Anchor uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!"

"Auf Anchor Relocation gestossen bin ich, da der Arbeitskollege meines Vaters (Arzt) seinen Umzug von Deutschland in die Schweiz mit dieser Firma organisiert hatte. Zuerst war ich mir nicht sicher, ob Anchor Relocation auch "kleinen Fischen" wie mir helfen kann und möchte, suchte ich doch eine ganz andere Preisklasse und Wohnungsgrösse als der Arztkollege. Ein weiteres Problem war der Zeitdruck. Ich musste meine alte Wohnung bereits wenige Wochen später verlassen. Sofort wurde mir aber freundlich und mit grossem Engagement weitergeholfen. Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme per Telefon bis zur persönlichen Wohnungsübergabe in Begleitung von Frau Hagenbuch von Anchor Relocation wurde ich rundum kompetent und immer sehr nett betreut. Die neue Wohnung ist genau so, wie ich sie mir vorgestellt hatte – wenn nicht sogar noch besser: hell, ruhige Lage, mit Balkon, eigener Waschmaschine, Tiefgarage, offener Küche, Bad mit Fenster, Eichenparkett. Ohne Anchor Relocation hätte ich diese Wohnung weder gefunden noch sogleich nach Besichtigung bekommen. Ich würde die Firma Anchor Relocation auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und auch jederzeit wieder in Anspruch nehmen. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle "Rundum-sorglos-Paket"."

"Awesome service! Hands on approach and the result I wished for."

"Amazing person to deal with. Doris is the best!"

"The Team at Anchor Relocation has been super professional, efficient, and effective. Highly recommend for your personal relocation needs."

"We worked with Susanne from Anchor Relocation and I most definitely recommend their services given that their services made our relocation extremely easy and smooth."

"Where do I even start? I would go as far as to say that without Anchor Relocation Services, the move would have not been possible! We decided at the end of April to move by the end of June from The States to Switzerland. During this time, we were faced not only with the task of finding an apartment that suited our budget but one that was available for our move in date. No small feat given the housing crises that Zurich also faces with an available inventory of under 1% at that time. Here is where the team from Anchor Relocation (special gratitude to Corina with her marvelously unshakeable and kind demeanor) really made their mark. They are well connected with many of the administering companies ("Verwaltungen"), which manage most of the city's apartments for various landlords (whether those are private, commercial or the city of Zurich). Not having any Swiss-based renting history, we really benefited of working with Anchor Relocation because with Anchor's "sign of approval" and their network, we shot up the waiting and candidate's list for apartments. But that's not all: they will go on viewings for you, send you pictures of nooks and corners, which aren't available on the published apartment pictures online and also do video walk-throughs. When you hire Anchor Relocation you not only get a fantastic, caring real-estate "broker" and consultant, but a team of people who try to help at every turn. We managed and organized most of the move long-distance from across the Atlantic, so having having true professionals (like Corina) on the ground, who also made dozens of calls on our behalf to different authorities was particularly helpful. Whether it was an immigration question, a veterinary question (for our dog), questions regarding our driver's licenses or support on finding the right insurance companies (and selecting the right plans), Anchor Relocation was there along the way, going above and beyond our expectations. The cherry on top was the apartment hand-over, where Corina guided us through the process, documenting any scratches and cracks, as well as leading the follow-up communications with the apartment's administering body. Across these two months, Corina and the team were not only patient, empathetic of our situation and kind, but also true professionals. Not a given, since we must have had close to one-hundred questions during these two months. For anyone still unsure, perhaps this will help: At first, the fees were a little higher than the budget we had initially set aside, but in hindsight was it not only worth it, but saved us several hundred Franks, possibly thousands. A huge thank you once again to the team, Sandra and especially Corina!"

"Working with Anchor and Anna Supruniuk was amazing! Anna was always ready to help and solve my questions! My integration and move to Switzerland was so smooth thanks to them! Thank you again for all the support :)."

"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 used Anchor Relocation Services for my move to Switzerland, and I was really impressed. Anna was amazing, she helped me complete all the required relocation documents and even assisted in finding a great new flat. She made the whole process easy and stress-free. Highly recommend them if you're looking for a smooth, well supported move."
