Choosing an agency · 3 guides
What agencies cost, what a package includes, the contract clauses to question, and how our ranking works.
Free for you — agencies pay for introductions, not for ranking.
Agencies that publish prices charge CHF 2,500–5,000 for a home search, and a full-service package starts at CHF 5,950. Compare what is included, who your consultant will be and what recent clients say. We list 54 agencies and rank 33 by verified Google reviews, weighted by how many there are. No agency can pay to rank.
Read the price guide first, then the guide on choosing an agency before you sign. The comparison guide shows the top-rated agencies and how global and boutique firms differ.
