Xpat Relocation

“We moved to Switzerland for my wife’s work - our second relocation from the US in three years - with our three kids and dog. Marianne goes above and beyond. The comparison between her and our previous specialist (in Sweden) was night and day. She was organized, timely, and made the move feel effortless - which is saying a lot because our prior move was anything but. Just a wonderful person and top notch at her job. So thankful to have had the pleasure to be a client - and even after the engagement is over we still feel comfortable reaching out to her with questions and concerns. She even sat with me in the ER while I got stitches for a bad-luck mishap. I mean, truthfully, above and beyond is an understatement - would give her extra stars if I could!”

“Marianne provided us with expert and personal care and support through the relocation process. She took her time to show us many places within Switzerland, provided us with insights and was personally there for our rental closing. I cannot recommend Marianne and this team enough!”

“Ich bin im Juni von Deutschland in die Schweiz umgezogen und hatte Unterstützung von Marianne bei meinem Umzug in die Schweiz. Sie ist sehr gut mit dem Schweizer Wohnungsmarkt vertraut und hat mich sehr unterstützt in dem Bewerbungsprozess bis hin zur Übergabe. Darüber hinaus hat sie mir sehr viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben, um mich schnell einzuleben. Ich kann sie sehr empfehlen.”

“I was introduced to Marianne through a conversation with another family who had used her services. As a family funding our move to Switzerland ourselves (without employer support), services like these initially seemed like a luxury. Today, I can say without hesitation—it’s a necessity, and I recommend it to every family. I had my first conversation with Marianne about a year before our move. From that very first call, it was clear to me that she was exactly the kind of person I’d want by my side for such a significant, complex, and life-changing transition. Marianne has a rare combination of positive energy, spark, and—at the same time—thoroughness and professionalism that are truly unmatched. Our move was far from simple. Due to the war in our country, it was difficult to set a date in advance, and in the end, we had to arrange everything in just two and a half weeks! We landed directly into our permanent home—with our pets and our children—in the location we most wanted. Without a doubt, this was 100% thanks to Marianne. From the moment we arrived, we received full support that made us feel at home—and, even more importantly, reassured us that we had someone we could rely on for all the bureaucratic matters here (bank, insurance, municipality, and more). I strongly recommend Marianne—we could not have done this without her!”

“An Exceptional Agent Who Goes Above and Beyond I can only highly recommend Marianne Blommers! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the market, but also deeply committed to her clients. She guided me through every step of finding my new apartment — from shortlisting properties to negotiating terms, completing all the paperwork, and ensuring I fully understood every detail. What really stood out, though, was how she handled a particularly challenging situation with the handback of my previous apartment. It was a stressful and complex process, but she took the lead, navigated the difficulties with professionalism, persistence, and tact, and made sure everything was resolved fairly. Her dedication, clear communication, and problem-solving skills made what could have been a nightmare into a smooth and successful transition. She’s not just an agent — she’s a true advocate for her clients, and I feel very lucky to have had her on my side. Respectfully, Vasiliki K.”

“What a great service, arrived to Switzerland with my wife and 3 children including pets, Marianne took care of all the required process, including rent, school, municipality registrations and more. Highly recommended Xpat Relocation for anyone that want to start the relocation journey with comfort.”

“We’re relocating from the United States to Switzerland for my wife’s job and are so lucky that Marianne is our relocation specialist. We took a scouting trip in June (planned arrival is in December) and were able to find and secure the perfect apartment just minutes from our kids’ school and convenient to my wife’s work. This apartment wasn’t even on the market yet, but thanks to Marianne’s contacts and reputation, she made it happen. We’re so grateful for all of her help as we move across the pond.”

“We are extremely satisfied with Marianne and Caroline's service. They performed a true miracle. Thanks to them we were able to find a flat just the way we wanted, where we wanted it, in no time at all and with a really low flat offer. They were extremely professional, patient and courteous and gave us a lot of useful advice. We would highly recommend them to anyone moving to the Zug area.”

“Xpat Relocation made our move to Zug, Switzerland, incredibly smooth and stress-free! From finding the perfect housing to setting up our bank accounts, their team was there every step of the way. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great soft landing, providing invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire process. Their expertise and personalized approach made us feel right at home from day one. We couldn't have done it without them—highly recommend Xpat Relocation to anyone moving to Switzerland! Thank you again Xpat Relocation team & Marianne!!”

“Xpat Relocation organization is a great expert in their field. Our family experience with Marianne was amazing. Not only she is a great professional, but also, she is a very nice and friendly person. It's been clear since our first meeting that Marianne understands personal family needs as well as she knows market of Zug Canton very well. All of that has led to a great experience for our family in finding a place to live that we wanted. Additionally, Marianne has helped us to find all necessary services to be able to adapt to Swiss way of living smoothly. I would recommend Xpat Relocation and Marianne to anyone who is planning to move to Zug Canton! Excellence service!”

“I cannot recommend Xpat Relocation enough, Marianne and Caroline were wonderful. From the first zoom call from our home country, getting down to specifics of what we needed and wanted as a family, to meeting the first time like friends. The fun days out apartment hunting, many entertaining chats and coffee stops along the journey. It shows that Marianne loves what she does and is very passionate about it. We never thought we would find exactly what we wanted but we did with their help. They do listen to your needs and they deliver which is tough to do in this current market. They also helped us with our Permits, opening bank account, and many recommendations of starting life in Switzerland. They have a wealth of knowledge and loads of experience and made this move so easy. We also brought our dog with us so help with importing a dog was very important. They are always on the end of the phone when you need help after the move too. Absolutely brilliant service, thank you xxx”

“It was a big luck to have Marianne as my consultant in Switzerland. She could clear all my doubts, explained all the basics, showed the area, found (quickly) an incredible apartment and supported my immigration process. She took care of each small detail to make my first days simpler. Thanks Marianne!”

“Marianne was very helpful with finding us a great apartment, but also with all other necessary staff (such as opening a bank account) and providing useful information one needs when moving to Switzerland. Strongly recommend!”

“Marianne and Caroline really helped me settle down in the Zug area. They were always available, very knowledgable on the Canton and tried to accomodate all my requests for housing (that were not easy for the Zug area)! In less than a month from my arrival I already had a signed contract for an apartment and could focus on my new job. I am really grateful to Xpat Relocation for their excellent service. I would suggest it to everyone that is relocating to Switzerland and especially to Canton Zug!”

“Marianne and her Xpat Relocation team are amazing and I highly recommend for anyone moving to Zug, Switzerland. She was proactive in finding flats that met our family's needs and supported us through the entire journey moving to Switzerland. The Xpat team helped us get an understanding of the culture and what to expect which made the transition very easy.”

“Thank you Marianne for the support you are giving me during the relocation. You expertise and availability have been a key contributors for a successful relocation.”

“Contacting Marianne has been one of the best decisions we have taken since we arrived in Switzerland. From the beginning, she has adapted to our needs in order to find the best apartment with all the requirements that we suggested, and she has even adapted to our native language (Spanish). Finding an apartment in the place where we wanted to move was a challenge due to the high demand and the limited number of apartments that were being advertised. Considering the huge difficulties to find a good apartment, Marianne did her best and used her network to find the perfect apartment for us. She finally found a perfect apartment that was not advertised on the market, and thanks to her we are now living there. In addition, she has even helped us with answering questions that we had after moving in. Thanks for everything Marianne!”

“I had a great experience with Xpat Relocation. Marianne is very efficient and helped me with securing an amazing apartment in Zürich. She helped me setting up a bank account, register with the Kanton and in general introducing me to how things work in Switerzerland (waste system, stores, culture, language schools, etc). I highly recommend Marianne for anyone reallocating to Zürich! Especially for the help with applying for apartments, it's a crazy competitive housing market here.”

“Marianne had been a great help for us. Not only she helped us finding a rental apartment in the area we liked, she also did local orientation for us so we were able to settle down quickly. She always ensured that our queries were addressed and ensured that we were comfortable and happy the whole time. Highly recommended”

“Thank Xpat relocations and Marianne for all the help you extended and making my relocation less stressful in every way possible. I am loving my new place and would recommend others to use your services as well.”

“Working with Marianne through my relocation process in Switzerland has been simply a pleasure. She's been following me closely through all steps, from immigration, home finding to settling in. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to relocate in the areas she currently covers!”

“Marianne has been extremely helpful managing our relocation process. We had to find an apartement navigating the covid-19 pandemic and quarantine issues. Thanks to her organising and efficiency we were able to have everything arranged in time. We found a great apartment. She also went the extra mile to empty our temporary studio as we were not allowed Switzerland due to Covid-19 regulations.”

“We used Marianne's service (full package) for a relocation from Canada. She is extremely helpful, friendly, and kind, and she made the whole process simple and painless. I highly recommend.”

“Relocating to Switzerland with 3 children during the Covid-19 crisis was a huge challenge and Marianne helps us to do it successfully. She always listens to our needs and wishes. Highly recommended.”

“Great service, friendly, efficient and results oriented. She offers a personalized service, tailored to customer needs. Highly recommended!”

“Marianne was godsend to me and my family while relocating to Switzerland. Not only did she do an outstanding professional job in finding good homes and guiding us through all of the specific Swiss national as well as regional laws and customs she also showed incredible flexibility and patience with my ever-changing business schedule. Marianne accommodated all of my and my wives needs for a successful start in a new country, I can only recommend her service, guidance, help and advise.”

“Marianne was a great blessing for us when we moved here. She not only helped us get into our perfect apartment she helped with much more. Thank you so much Marianne for all you did and for God sakes stop once and have a drink with your clients they would love it even more haha.”

“Marianne has been a great partner that helped me at every step of my relocation. She has a fantastic way to turn the ordinary topics to extraordinary by giving attention to details and timing for every next step. Full of energy and suggestions led the home finding while she was always available to support beyond the process. Overall , beyond my expectation! Super Thanks Marianne !!!”

“Marianne knows the local market, as an expat her knowledge was very helpful. Her communication was clear, all my questions were answered quickly. She followed up through her contacts after an apartment application link we expected did not arrive. She found out they had miss-spelled my name. Without her I would not be in the apartment I wanted. Marianne provided a great service and was pivotal in securing the apartment that was top of my list. If you hire Marianne with Xpat Relocation you will have someone who will try everything within her power to get you what you are looking. While also ensuring you are not blindsided by the Swiss rules or processes unknown to an expat.”
